Both mine were equipped with Fox Shocks that I dont think are available any more. Had the VFR rear wheel on the superbike and entire F3 front end, which was resprung for the weight but otherwise stock internals. Worked fine. I am not certain what OEM shock would slot in but any of those would likely need a diff spring rate to work. I doubt if your girl is going to need that much suspension anyway right? LOL!

Well she's no danni pedrosa

vics actually semi tall for a girl. Could nearly flatfoot the blade before me and derf cranked the suspension stiff, now I won't let her try

We got ghost about two months ago, nobody commented on him in pet pics so I stopped taking pics

as for the blade, remember I learned to ride on a hurricane with leaky ass forks. The suspension was better than what I was accustomed to which made it easy to ride around
