You really want to put smaller shocks on you A50?  I am really suprised you would want to lower it rather than raise it,  I guess my fat ass is heavy enough to drop my scoot enough. lol

It doesn't hurt anything as long as you make sure not to go too far. Check your clearances. The front forks can be lowered in the braces as well. If your scoot handles well as it is measure exactly the distance you want (to the mm), and mark the tubes w/ tape. You can then slide them up to that point, and maintain your handling! I think it would look pretty bad a$$ lowered.

just something I was going to try .my thing is .  IF ITS NOT BROKEN DONT FIX IT.
its just seams a little top hefy when takeing turns. most turns need to be wide not to sharp.

I think its just a safe thing for me because I did tip over ounce. and the plastic on one side is all new.
and the last scoot I had was the honda rucks it was like a little dirt bike. so I think ill leave alone
besides dont wana take plastic off just to get to the shock.

I am not crazy about the handling either...then again I have ridden a few motorcycles before the scoot I think its due to the smaller wheels, just take it easy on turns you still can cut corners way better than a car!
