NCY Fork Installation on 170i;
Posted: Thu Apr 20, 2017 4:48 pm
They were easier to install than I expected. Remove the tire and front cover and you can reach the pinch bolts that hold the fork assemblies easily. PGO has even molded a hole in the lower front body piece to gain access to the pinch bolts!
Initial impressions are that the new forks are smoother over bumps and pay dividends on hands. The vibration from the front wheel traveling over road irregularities is damped a bit. Sticktion (breakaway friction) is lower than the stock forks. The scoot' seems to rail corners just as well with less small amplitude movement.
Together with the aftermarket shock on the rear, the scoot' is much nicer to ride.
They look cool and are no lighter than stock. They just look lighter!
