    this is going to sound funny .....................because im a short person (i prefer vertically challenged) :)

    my feet dont quite touch the floor when im in a stationary postion on the scoot. is there annything lowering wise i could do to help me, e.g springs, and where to purchase them?

    i mean would getting a shorter spring on the rear shock help??? where would i get this??

    thanks

    Ice is a very small, How tall are you actually ? I don't think you can use a different shock due to the carb etc, But I think a Nrg shock is slightly shorter.

    thanks guys, its not as if i cant reach the floor at all, i can.

    its just that i would like a better footing.

    so in other words it cant be done.

    125 shocks are a little bit shorter maybe that might work? Cant really think of anything else that isnt overly complicated or that wont make it handle like shit. Ices are designed to be a bit high up tbh.

    125 shocks?? what do you mean exactly, maybe i could shave down the foam on the seat as i have to re-do the leather anyway????

    Disregard that actually tbh any piaggio shock will be shorter. Cutting the seat could work well .

    so which shock is shorter and could be easily fitted, cant cut the foam as the plastic underneath has mouldings
