Hi Guys, need some advice.

Last MOT the rear shocks on my scootie were an advisory, slight oil misting.

Scootie is a 21 year old Honda FES 125 Pantheon and WeMoto who I usually get my parts from say they can't get hold of any. They said Honda still list them, but at £600 the pair, they can go f"ck themselves.

There's YSS ones on E-Bay for about £160-£170, but they're stocked in Italy, so import duty will bump that up.

Can't find anything on David Silvers website.

Any suggestions on where I could locate a pair.

And how likely do you think they'd fail the next MOT because of them, Should I just leave well enough alone?

Thanks in advance.

I think you need to look harder on ebay.

Thanks Stinkwheel.

I think there must be something wrong with the filters on my E-Bay account. Non of the UK ones were coming up Rolling Eyes

I'll probably go with a pair of the YSS ones.

Thanks again for the help Very Happy
