Hi,
My 09 Tmax is getting older and parts are inevitably wearing. Similarly, it's getting harder and harder to get OEM parts into the country and wait times for those parts that you can get are getting longer and longer.
At the moment, my shocks seem like they could really use a refresh. It's not as cushy of a ride as it was 25,000 miles ago. Tires start bubbling long before the tread is gone, and it's just overall probably about time to deal with them.
I'm looking at the Malossi shocks. There were a few forum posts on here about them, several asking about the center stand and several not having any engagement or answers.
So - Malossi rear mono-shock any good? Still can use the center stand?
Also, Bitubo makes a kit for the front end - anyone have experience with these?
Given tariffs and everything else, figure these are pricey upgrades but not as bad or at least on par with OEM, so whatever.
Opinions would be appreciated
