£500 ?? Wow. Well, there are some who have spent more than that for their shocks. I was happy to spend $150 for replacement shocks. Powerbypcx.com has some good shocks, but I am sure Ohlins are much much better. I hope they serve you well, and your pcx lasts as long as they do. I suspect that if they fit a 2013 model, they will fit yours.

Ronald5256,
We enjoy both of the custom seats we have on our two PCXs. I bought my wife's seat at powerbypcx.com. Mine came from http://www.mpmotorseat.com and I appreciated the fact that I could have mine modified to my dimensions. Several other members of the forum have also ordered modified seats from them. I understand that almost all of the seats made for the PCX after market over there are made by one shop. I am surprised that they took the time to do custom work, but they did a good job.

Mel,

I've been looking at their seats.
Which seat did you get?
Did you get the original seat pan or the copy frame?
I've added padding and a cover to my seat, but I'd like to have something less mickey moused.
Did you get the original seat location, or have them move it back?
How long did it take to get it from them?
Yeah, I have a lot of Questions, but I'd like to know as much as possible before I purchase a new seat.

Thanks,
Dave
