I'm a zippy man myself. Pretty soft but awesome in the hard corners. Can't say if the 100/90 would fit the af16, but the 90/90 fits like a glove on my af05's

Ive been running ncy regular coil for about a year and it rocks!
When i finally installed a metro rim with new s1 9090 I went ahead and shaved off one of the lockring nubs with a dremel

WOW!! That is a tight fit! The tire clearance would most likely be the same with the stock wheel or metro wheel, yea? Seeing how Michelin S1 90/90-10 is a Michelin S1 90/90-10 no matter how u slice it.

Hi. I have seen a Kenda 100 80-10 on the elite wheel and it looked WIDE, but it fit. I don't know how the ride was. :shock:

It looks tight but everything u see in the picture moves together and my 250lbs riding like a motorcross hasn't deflected the tire enuf to rub so im cool with it.

Just put my order in for the c90 front shocks.

I hope they can eliminate bottoming out,
the ncy is at full extension 11 inches (280mm) and im fairly positive they only suggest around 10.5 (265mm) there is plenty of tire clearance to lower it just trying to save this expensive scorpion pipe from meeting the street (again)

I hear you. Ground clearance is always an issue on scooters cornering at speed.. I ruined a few pipes and went down pretty good one time from the pipe hitting the ground on my Jog.
I thought I heard Graphite say he has shock spacers now or someting like that...

I'm running the ncy offset rear shock on my jog because it was bottoming out the rear on the tire when riding at speed. No problem since, but I've bottomed out the exhaust coming into my drive and dented the pipe pretty good too. I can see that throwing someone off if you were going faster than 4 mph. Now I have to figure out something for the front of the jog, it's weak as all can be.

Im running some off brand spacer on my jog now with an 10.7 inch shock, and its been good to me, really helped my rightside lean angle.
Yea... Jog front ends are weak, plus I have an old 1990 that has no A/M and im not willing to chop and weld the neck just yet..

NCY stem bolts right up... although the tree is made of aluminum so for potholes and big dips not a great choice, for rear shock daytona, prodigy, are good for clearance depending on how big the back tire is that you are going to run.it clears my michellin 3.50/90 the 90/90 or use shock extender

What about this bolt up front end? The c90 shocks from ebay aren't gonna cut it for me, my 170lb buddy said they are amazing (test rider lol) they bottom out no problem with my 240lbs

the ncy stem is supposed to be a plug and play no cutting and no modding required the c90 shock looks like its for the front? :2thumbs:
