It had empi coil overs on it I almost lost some teeth to the stiffness of the front end,I just haven't gotten around to putting in some replacements , the front does seem fine with out shocks though.

Very nice and clean rail! welcome aboard the Samba, it's a great board with tons of good people and info... Make sure you post your rail in the "rail and buggy" sticky...

That's funny, but in the first post, he said be built the front bumper himself.

There were so many companies that made a frame like that, it is going to be hard to know for sure.

The frame looks like an Invader which is a very common frame in Florida.

Wrong springs/too much friction, not so much a damper issue.

I have super cheap $18 blue monroe shocks on the front of mine and they seem to work pretty well. surprised they're not puking everywhere after half a dozen weekends out.

I like the clean look of your rail but you need some seat cushions.

I'm more impressed with your sick moped though!
