Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

So where can one find a reasonably priced replacement shock set for the SA50 chassis? I am bottoming out threshold braking and I only weigh 145lbs The stockers appear to be 210mm eye to eye. I was checking out some cool looking reservoir shocks on Ebay that are 280mm but say that the length is adjustable. I was looking at my scoot today and I don't think it would be too big a deal to extend the upper shock mount to accommodate a longer unit... Anyone have any experience with these shocks or have any other options besides stock replacements? (Ebay item #161010213039)

I bought these, taking a chance that they'd fit. They did.

The Cub is a bit heavier than the Elite, so I figured they might be a little stiffer. They are.

Predictably, the springs seem to lose their oomph after a while. Must be why there are dozens of examples on EBay.

Dang those are cheap!
So would you recommend them even though they soften up a bit?

Still OK after over 2 years,and about 15 extra Wheel-pounds, so yeah go for it.
