has anyone chaged there front shock to shorter ones when lowering there type 3
what type did you buy

i put TelaFlow oil shocks on mine which are a tiny bit shorter than the stock brazilian ones... still has a good 2 inch of travel, . sits pretty low


you will find the bumps stops is the main problem with restricting travel
you can buy really short ones eg Monroe - do a search on the Samba as i forget the pat number...

vintage in sydney have short bump stops....
i changed mine, droped another1 1/2 inches....
