IceBear Zodiac 300cc new shocks

I found a pair of shocks on Amazon. They came very fast. I got 250mm size. All in all they look good. They claim they can handle 960 pounds or so. You can adjust them with rings, but I don't need them any harder.

All in all they were a little less than an inch too tall so the raised the trike a little.

Before I wasn't able to get any movement when I get on and I'm not a feather. The new ones do give a bit. Riding in town is a lot better, but riding down a brick road was not pleasant.

On the highway the trike didn't rattle as much and was ridable.

The back of the zodiac is easy to remove.

Both shocks installed.

Simple job. I put locktite on all of the screws to ensure they won't shake off.

Next tasks: exhaust from motor is loose and the flex tube is broken from muffler. Also, I checked the oil and there seems to be too much. By time winter gets here, I should have it running good.

Well, here's to keeping the rubber on the road.

I tried to make pictures smaller, but I couldn't do it.
