For maximum performace the forks should be a certain length depending on the compression
mini scs = just under 1.5"
full scs = just under 2"
hic = just under the length of the shim
ics = the longer the better

Well if you can't figure out how big to make it its probably not going to be very good. Tilt and Proto have spent years and thosands of dollars and so much energy making their parts THE BEST. Coming from someone whose life is devoted to scootering, you should just buy one of theirs.

check out this thread, another member was making a scs last year and asked for some input

i think mine is going to be good, the limitation on a fork-tube length is caused by one design feature, that is radical and optional, there is an option without it, so it's not a problem to make another one. and if it happens to be not so good, i'll spend some resources on perfecting it too, but it will be mine. Once I make it, you'll see how it looks yourself.
Actually, I wouldn't say the Proto's scs is carrying great a amount of forces calculations to be on the limit of strength/weigth proportion, it is just made pretty thick, equaly at all places, just to be sure it's strong.
thanks

yes, that's pretty obvious. In my case, though, the risk is a fork-tube piece being too short, as I wrote above it needs to be at least 31mm long.

If you know then Why are you arguing with everyone?? Or even asking the question
I definitely didn't mean to be rude in any way, if it seemed so. But I was told a few times that I shouldn't be making own SCS or that there is no problem with a short fork-tube, although I had said that there was with mine because of the design. And the question was to get results from people, so that I'd have the statistics to judge from whether or not this SCS will work for the majority of people.
