Front shock

This is the first attempt as you can see the shock was a bit short at the top! So the bracket was extended a bit.

After having another front shock die, I decided to look for a cheaper alternative to a Bitubo or Sebac. I found this a "Yoshimura" Thai version. It was originally intended for a Yamaha Mio, a motorcycle/
scooter hybrid. After measuring it several times and thinking "Well. If I don't try,I'll never know" . I bought it and took it along to my local bike shop and they did the rest. The shock is fitted upside down , a cup / holder was made to resemble the original Piaggio desisn and the "Top" of the shock was inserted and secured with a bolt. Now I know it can be done, the next step will a gas version, a little bit more expensive but a bit softer.
