Good question ggs34,

I bought this shock for my 125 and it is really, really nice.
I cannot even describe how much better the ride is.

Now, that said, I would love to buy one for my wife's 150.
Does it also fit a 150?

Scooterworks says it's for a 50 and a 125.

Has anyone installed a 1000-1045 on a 150 International?

Anything that fits the 125 will fit the 150's as well. Same shock mount.

Thanks Kaos :)

SCOOTERWORKS, if you're reading this...
Please consider adding '150' to your 1000-1045 item.

You'll probably sell more of em.

I'm using the 1072 on my Buddy 50. It made a world of difference in the ride of my scooter compared to the stock shock. In a way it's overkill for a shock, but the price was right.
