must say i'm impressed with the surplus center shocks big time for the ultra cheap money they cost.
was very pleased to find proper removable collars to allow changing the springs.
they're beefy, have good bushings and the damping feels reasonable by hand w/ a spring removed.
they have a hard nylon spring bushing to ease preload adjustments.
tomorrow i'll actually get to installing and driving on them.

here's a question i have:
my new clone predator needs it's gas tank yanked to allow full compression w/o banging it into the rear rails.
i know jack**** about these little engines.
i see them usually sold, modified, with a pulsed fuel pump running off a vacuum source.
however, far as i know, mine is gravity feed - am i right?
my hope is i can just unbolt the tank off the clone and move it up into the rack area and hang a line down to the carb.
yay or nay?
thank you
