I used Kymco Mongoose 90 shocks on my granddaughter's little 110. See if I can find the thread. had to make new brackets for the front. The back shock dropped right in! Kymco makes the Mongoose 90, Kawasaki KFX 90 and Arctic Cat DVX 90.

Okay, no pictures in that thread. None on the computer either. On nightshift, if I can remember I'll take a couple of pictures tomorrow if you are interested in doing that.

Ya that actually sounds awesome. If you could do that I'd appreciate it.

Sorry, on nightshift and forgot!! The front brackets were SS. Mild steel will be much, much easier to drill. You can search Ebay for the three models listed above. If you can't weld I am sure a welding shop would make the front mounting brackets for just a few dollars. It greatly improved the ride of my Granddaughter's Panther 110.

Thanks for the pics. It looks great. My brother has a welder, I'll get him to do it. I forgot to mention, I have the smaller 110. Is that what these pics or from?

Smaller by about 2-inch shock.
My granddaughter's Panther has the 7" rims with 16" tires. I don't know if that is the smaller one or not. My grandson already had the Kymco 90. His actually got the new shocks and I put the old ones on hers. Figured maybe they would be a little softer. It really made a nice improvement in how it rode. I searched until I found a good price with best offer. Submitted a lower offer and they accepted. I have heard replacing the tires with nicer tires helps a lot. But Cassie's Panther was way over sprung for her.

I'm pretty sure this won't work. Mine has 13" tires on 6" rims. It's this one:

There is also a KFX/Kymco 70 and I swear I have seen a 50 too.
