I ended up having to do a little more trimming on the plastic underside above the wheel. It would catch on the wheel when I hit a bump. Did some cutting and cleaning up which also meant that I lost my turn signals in the back.. This is also after removing the center stand. I've got some Amber LED strips to use for turn signals on the front and back of the scoot. I'm going to delete the original turn signals also.. Still waiting on my 84.7" brake cable..

You know what the stretch makes your scoot look better. Like it was mean to look like that. Well done old chap well done Thanks Tiny! What's funny is that it's actually way more comfortable. The seat is at a position now that is perfect. Before I felt like I was leaning a bit forward. No issues with the ride either. I'm taking it pretty easy on riding it until I get the new brake cable for the rear. Having only front brakes is a little scary, especially how fast this little scoot will do. Now time to find some foot pegs to add to the sides! May even get some yellow LED strips to line under the scooter for the night glow effect!

Looks really good. Stretched just the right amount, looks cool without looking silly and ruining the handling.

It's catching the ground if I turn too tight of a radius to the left. I may also shave the bottom of the engine where the center stand mounts. It's not catching on anything, but I think it would look better than having that area protrude down under the scooter..

Nice work. I wanted to do the same to my scooter but where can I buy the bushings that go in the swingarm. Also, have you consider making extras and sell them?

Sorry for the late reply. I've not been on here in a while.
I didn't make it. I had a friend of mine make it. You can get the bushings on Amazon, Ebay, or other scooter stores online.

The big issue I've seen folks have with extreme shock angles is just getting enough of a spring rate to not bottom.out constantly.
