Anyone use rear shock extenders?

[Stig / Major Tom]

You skinny guys read somewhere else. (poor fellows - what do you do in the winter?)
Has anyone installed rear shock extenders on their scooter?
Would like to raise the rear of the scoot an inch or so when riding.....
I know you have to pay attention to the center stand and not go too high - but an inch or so should be ok.
I do understand that it will not increase the suspension travel.

Stig, If you come up with a longer shock with more travel please post it as I would be very interested myself as I am note a light weight. Ha Ha! Jeff

I thought I might try these when I have a little extra money;

Yep, know what you mean! These things could use a little more suspension travel, should build them like a small French car....they aren't fancy or expensive but they can practically turn turtle and still have all 4 tires on the ground. Think I will try the 40 or 60mm extenders first, and wait for the stock shocks to wear out.....then I'm going shopping for longer shocks. Seems crazy that no American seller stocks the extenders.

We call them lifters...lots of them here and comes in different styles and colors.... I used them once before because the shocks I bought was shorter than stock...  Some use them to increase height of the bike...
