Lowering PCX

Post by just5ft »

I finally found and received what we were hoping was the right bracket to lower my PCX 150. NCY rear shock back moving bracket. Went to install them, hits the muffler on the right, and the plastic housing on the left. Has anyone successfully lowered their PCX using these? If so, any tips and pictures???? Crossing my fingers, I need all the help I can get to lower it to make it safer to ride.

There are pictures on another site of those brackets pulling on the gearcase in a way that it’s not supposed to and snapped off the rear end. I bought some and returned them for this reason .I’ll see if I can post a pic here.

A much better way is to buy a shorter shock. I believe a few people here have the link for that.

I bought Takegawa Lowering Shocks...or rather, Maddiedog bought them. I have one set on my bike and one set on my wife's bike. They are adjustable and work quite well. Remember that they only lower the back, not the front, which is ok if you just need to lower the bike a little. We also had ordered custom seats from Thailand, which gave my wife a little better footing at stops.
