Thanks all. I got the shocks done.... but bucket had to come out, rear fairings off, muffler (right side). The top bolts are inaccessible without fairings (rear fender body) off. And the rear bolt bottom needs muffler removal (bolt too long to remove). In any case they look great and your help is appreciated.
Why take the car? Jack 8)
Hello there, Vivo measured his shocks for me on his scoot - could you measure your old set for me....from center of mounting hole at top and bottom.
And another question:
Is the top bolt 10mm and the bottom 8mm ? I think this is correct - but have no way to check.
Trying to work out if these would be a possible & good swap on a LIKE 200i.
One concern is - IF they fit - is why they are cheaper than a LIKE shock. Maybe because the LIKE's are chrome - Super 8 is black paint.? Hope is not because they are shorter or weaker than a LIKE shock!
Any help here appreciated ~!
Thanks, Stig
