MOPED ARMY

I purchased these from Treats hoping they would look "original" with the chrome on top and black body but I just don't like the look.

Anyone have an original set laying around in decent shape they would sell?

Thanks.

Side by side it’s very easy to tell. They are just beefier/heavier and the regular ones are kind of like a Maxi.

The guy that said they are "dime a dozen" is full of shit. He often is.

Pretty sure the Hydros have a nut at the bottom right before the lower mounting eye.

Yeah I got a set but I don't know if I want to part with them. They are a lot nicer than most of the stuff you can buy aftermarket

@Graham, any way you can post a pic of the hydro shocks you have, especially if they have the fitting / nut as people are supposing?

Maybe some folks have these out there that don't realize what they are...

I have measured and purchase a set from treats. They might be hydro don't know. My thing is I'm trying to put this magnum back as stock original as I can.... I like the "original" look. That said I'm willing to pay for a nice set if they're out there..

Thanks

Christian here is a photo of a Magnum MKII from the photo album (first photo below). I'm assuming it has "hydro" shocks and they look just like my "original" ones (second photo below) just beefier and a better ride I'm told. That's what I'm looking for. I ordered the ones in the photo above from Treats hoping they would somewhat look original but they don't. So I posted on repair asking how to disassemble my original shocks to refurbish the appearance and was suggested to trash them and find a pair of "hydro" from a MKII since they look the same as the originals. I have not found any after market that look like originals so still looking for used set in good condition.

Hello Mark are you talking about the front forks? I'm looking for a pair of rear shocks.

You say you want to keep it original, if that's the case you don't want hydros. The Magnum II, which you have, did not come with hydro rear shocks; the Magnum MK II did

The one on the right side is a Magnum MKII/UPS/LTD hydraulic shock, and the one on the left is a stock Free Spirit III spring shock (don't have a set of the XK / Magnum II type shocks, I've given them away all the as they are pretty crappy compared to the ones shown). Both are made by Sebac, both have progressive rate coils but there is a big difference in performance between the two. The big tell in appearance is that the hydros have a noticeable thick neck between the eyelets and the shocks.

Hope you find a set of Maggy hydro shocks, of all the options I've tried out they are hands down the best. Not too firm, not too soft - just right for bigger, heavier mopeds.

Anybody have 1 single laying around? I might have stumbled across 1 that could make a set if it pans out.

Also if someone has a set and is reluctant to sell and would rather trade, for other moped stuff I might have something you're looking for. Pinto tank, Pinto saddle bags Grande rear rack, Grande snowflake set, Hobbit headlight buckets, just to list a few. I have no interest in selling these but would trade for parts I need.,

LMK.

Thanks.
