And so with the Penske rear shock, I've installed the piggy back on the left frame, with the rilsan collars inserted in the inside of the frame where the fake fuel tank have a insertion:

Have been following this closely cos there is no aftermarket really for us...

On typical bikes, one can get Ohlins for a similar price...   can only hope that the Penske option
matches the performance of the zippy motor...


and, as stated above by another, is there any options for the front as well...

At least for me Hollywood Electric is the same state...

On another note, how difficult have you found it to work on the bike?

Hey guys, I'm friends with the guy at FOX shox and there are shocks available for at least the 2012 S and DS, which means it will fit other years that used that same FastAce shock I think.  I'm not sure why only the FOX FX shock is on Zero's website.  But about 2 years ago they got me one for my 2012 S ZF9 to assist with all the weight I was carrying, and it was a bolt in for the fast ace shock and works absolutely awesome!

I didn't see it on their website either, but if enough people email them and ask, perhaps they could do another run of 25 or so.

hi,
i have replace the original shock (2014 DS) with air shock system .The shock is a doppler 285mm (220€)for derby senda or xp6.Shock is very robust and can be ajust with air pressure and oil quantity.



Pressure has been update from 21 bars to 24bars (350PSI) for duo.



the shock fit perfectly but valve cap must be removed.



After 100 miles with doppler shock it is perfect for duo (165lbs+110lbs).The best pressure for solo should be around 23bars.

 air damping systems are nonlinear and very comfortable on small bump.

mcvl -- Do you still like that Doppler shock now that you have ridden it for a while? I am considering fitting it to my 2014 model S. Do you have the part# for the shock you used, or the website that you ordered it from?
