Fitting 'standard' shocks to an STS

Re: Re:

True, but finding a decent enough air shock with a body small enough is tricky.

if the shaft side facing front then you're good to go.
I even experimented with period correct Fox Alps4 and albeit tricky it might fit. (have to double check)

Totally agree it would look especially crap on the sts.

The fugly one above looks like a simplified and cheaper version of this one.

This isn't my frame, but the problem is the shaft through the frame and finding a small body shock to fit. I have a risse that could work, either by using an amp version and having the shaft made so I can bolt it on as they fit on the amp rear triangle, or even a full shaft made to screw in to where the original end or eyelets are (I'd need something made with an air valve though).
