Loving my NP50 Mod Question?

[ghankus]

Long time Reader, first time poster...
Anyway, I got my 2003 NP50 second hand a few months ago and am loving it.
The only problem is, I'm a big boy, and the front shocks are now pretty much worthless.
I'd order a set of replacement shocks from RCmoto, but I'm worried that a new set of stock shocks wouldn't last long.
Has anyone upgraded their shocks with stronger springs, or a whole new replacement set?
I've had a Heck of a time trying to find a new/aftermarket set, especially since I'm not sure which Honda model would match (the parts diagram on the Honda PA5011 looks significantly different than what I have.
Suggestions?
Thanks in Advance

Welcome Ghankus:

Is your NP50 a top tank? I have no idea if they are the same or not, but you might check out the front shocks for the Honda 90. The top tank Jialing looks a lot like the old Honda 90cc bike.

Thanks Skipper, No, Mine is not the top tank. It looks very simmilar to the one Tab has posted elsewhere on the list. I agree the C90 looks alot like it. But the C-90 uses a 1 spring system while this set apparently has 2 springs. Not sure if it'd be a straight replace, and am not willing to put up $50+ on a guess. I would risk it if someone's put these, or others on the toptank. Anyone tried this?

Also thanks Skipper because I've been looking to increase the stiffness of the front forks on my Top Tank Moto NZ50 & having trouble identifying the similar Honda model. I thought the CL70 was the most similar as the Top Tank has pretty much the C series engine

If anybody needs some exploded view parts diagrams for the Top Tank let me know - what I have are actually for the Chinese domestic equivalent but anyway when I get some time I'll post them on www.nzmoto.com as a valuable aid to doing any repairs or mods.
