shorter rear shock ?
contemplating the current chopper project, thought that a shorter rear shock might be a nice idea. so can u shorten a shocker by say 10cm (haven´t measured it out yet - just a figure) ? has anybody maybe used a shock off another mopped that is shorter and can be made to fit a lambretta ?
r1 shocks are 300mm long you can adapt anything to fit but the bumpstop is the limiting factor you need some travel as well ot the scoot will bounce around alot

true. u could grind the engine bumper off though. guess u would still need a very stiff shock, around 260-270mm long should work.
i got one from a honda with a resiviour on a piece of pipe if you want it it wiil need some bushes making up and a new spring but i can prob sort that i dont know how wide the eyes are though just keep reminding me about it if your interested as i forget alot due to to much stowford press
