    pipe clears going around corners, it's the dang speed bumps that will...have to cross them at an angle slowly if you can't go around 'em, had to do that before swapping my suspension to the standard setup...you can look at pinwall cycles on evilbay, they usually have a shock or two for $50, forks as well, but you may have to contact them directly to verify the forks are the "low" ones, rear shock is easy to spot due to the color of the spring being yellow, good luck
