My distance between center of my front damper mounting brackets on my Li 3, are 26cm. I know this is longer than usual but was already done when bought.
I've stripped and re- painted complete scooter, installed progressive mbd springs etc. and never thought to check if the brackets were too far apart.
i'm about to put on some dampers but want to check first which will 'stretch' this far , i think i would be happy with the 'escort' route but am open to recommendations, i'd hate to pay a fortune to realise they don't fit.............

i dont know of any that are that lenght the fat escorts ones that i supply are 244mm when fully extended i fit them at 225mm normally. you wouldnt want to fit them fully extended as when the lower link rubber starts to compress over time the damper will be pulled to its max and start to take LOAD from the springs
