Front Shock Absorbers measurement? By jwjones (Read 271 times)

I have a WY150T-18 scooter, and have looked high and low for parts for this thing. I have resigned myself to finding "close alternatives" since I haven't found a single supplier for that specific model. One of the things I want to replace is the front shock absorbers, but I'm not sure how to properly measure them to find a brand that fits. These have an eyelet on the top and bottom, and in between is covered with two plastic pieces so I'm not exactly sure if it's even an enclosed shock or just a basic spring. Anyone have a proper way I should measure these? I've seen them done from center of eyelet to center of eyelet, compressed and uncompressed, and even from top of shock absorber and bottom.

I think the measurements that would be most beneficial to you would be;
center of eyelet to center of eyelet expanded and contracted to give you length of travel,
eyelet center diameter and depth
