Well my bike was in the weeds, and I really missed hittin those twisties from time to time.. So I raised it back up to almost stock height with some 430 progressive contrast cuts in the rear and left my progressive drop in kit in the front with 2" spacers. I bought the 430's on amazon for 370 shipped to my door from powersports superstore. They arrived quick, install was super easy. The finish on these things is quite impressive, they are very nice looking and seem to be well made. Right now they are sitting at factory adjustments and they are liking riding in a Cadillac! They handled very well in the turns and soaked almost every bump and pot hole I could find. I ride back and forth to sac a lot and the freeway between Dixon and Davis is terrible, but with these babies installed the ride was as smooth as glass.. Overall.. I think money well spent to me. Hope this helps anybody thinking of purchasing.. Thanks for lookin- oh yeah.. One more thing, been thinking about having my tins sprayed coke white? Let me know what your thoughts on this would be.. Cheers-

 

Man you did raise it up! Damn nice shock though

 

Digging those shocks....

 

Lol.. How do you like yours bro?

 

Yeah.. I know, but it rides so much nicer.. I love things sitting n the ground, but it is such a nice fun ride now..

 

I lowered my bike 1" with the 430's. the shocks really look good but the bike rides a little harder however I think it corners better. Overall... I like them. Adds style to the bike. I use my WG for local rides.

 

Lookin good bro.. How do you like your bassani?

 

Bike looks great! White tins - a little scary, but I always appreciate different looks.

Been taking mental notes on shocks, thanks for the info.

 

So... you didn't tell us how long these new shocks are, could you please. I had 11.5" 440's and sold them off to someone because I found them too stiff. They would never bottom out, mind you, but being that they had a short travel they had little space to absorb the impact with. If I did it again I would go with something like 12.5 to 13.5".
Nice looking scooter man btw!

 

What color is "Coke White"? I got my pearl white tins off Ebay off a Low Rider. The Ricors look similar to your 430s. I actually have a set of 970s that I will put on shortly. Also going back up to stock height.
