TurboTouch Rear Shock Bracket for Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11/GT [TurboTight | RM]

• The eScootNow TurboTouch Rear Shock Bracket enables shock absorber fitment in Kaabo makes of Wolf Warrior 11 and GT, specifically
  • Warrior 11 Series (including Wolf King) and
  • GT Series (Including Wolf King GT).
• Bracket is two piece, comprising upper and lower sections and supporting hardware.
• Designed to support the stock Wolf GTR shock, 135mm 08x24 upper and 14x14 lower including the TurboTouch FZ shock.
• Fabricated with 7075 aluminium alloy (AA7075) which has excellent mechanical properties and exhibits good ductility, high strength, toughness, and good resistance to fatigue. One of the most commonly used aluminium alloys for highly stressed structural applications, extensively used in aircraft structural parts.
• Design by Craig Parcels, Red Seal Motorcycle technician of Rouge Monkey Motor Sports (RM) Canada.
• Includes RM stock shafts:
  • Upper section is 8mm using T-Gaskets to form sleeve around M6 bolt
  • Lower section is 14mm using sleeve that sits in the casting supported by a M12 bolt

eSN also includes TurboTight 12mm retrofit kit, derived from NAMI 12mm 50mm shafts. Retrofitting is highly recommended as there are inherent design flaws with 14mm shafts and is excessive "play" with the upper section's 8mm RM shaft (and limitations of 8mm shafts). To retrofit, bore the holes in the upper casting to 12mm (or 14mm with supplied SF-1 flanged bearings).

• Fitting requires enlarging two existing holes in the scooter frame and drilling a third, tap them so they are threaded to M10 x 1.25mm with tooling such this tap from (AliExpress) as shown in step 3-5 instructions below.

Notes:

1. Video showing 12mm shaft retrofit.
2. Stock GTR shock is 135mm 2000lbs with 8x24 upper assemble and unorthodox 14x14 lower assemble (without crucial self-lubricating bearing, hence the failures). You can see the stock shock and shafts in this AliExpress listing. The TurboTouch retrofit enables native support more common 12x14 assemble top and bottom.
3. For further information on the original version, check out Craig's Kaabo Scooters Canada group and video demonstration.
4. Design uses existing swing arms and does not introduce any clearance issues of swing arm <> ground or add any length (which would exceed 1250mm legal length).
5. Stock Kaabo factory springs afford approximately 13mm travel (at spring), with up to 25mm on 51mm FIBRO lighter Green (SF) springs. Due to relatively short 135mm length shock, FZ provides 15mm travel which while not significantly more than stock springs, will provide more suspension utility for those wanting a heavy strength. You can expect more travel with the 135mm shock than you would with heavier aftermarket springs (e.g. Chinese Brown). Noting the top of the shock is positioned further away from the axis of the swing arms.
6. A lower cost, non-shock approach that offers 27.5% with customised spring rate and dampening can be obtained with eSN's TurboTouch Rear Suspension Service Kit.
