Still looking-Rear shock replacement

Post by docjones »

I'm new here but have been lurking for a year or so. I finally got a 13 PCX150 last week and need to replace the rear shocks, if you can call them that. At that price point ($40.00 each) I doubt it is a real shock (no oil or gas, just a spring). With that in mind I need a shorter shock for my wife. It seems the Takegawa is the one to get but can't find them anywhere here in the states. I did find a 280mm shock at scootertronics.com that maybe the ticket. It is called Forsa Racing Shock. Price point is $59.99 each. At this price I'm not sure I'm really getting anything better than the one that came on it but at least it will lower the rear end. Anyone try this shock yet? Any and all help with a rear shock replacement will be great. P.S. I'm not looking to spend hundreds of dollars on a fancy shock just a shorter one. Thanks Tom
