Shocks

I PERSONALLY bought from them and I can tell you the parts were SHIT!!! Did not fit the bike at all and the quality sucked. They offered to take them back after a few weeks and return my money.

BFD

You want to pay shipping costs both ways if they are defective? Not like they are coming from Kansas.

Buy from people on the forum or people you know, is my advice.

If you're looking for good quality rear shocks, try Dave Quinn Motorcycles ( www.davequinnmotorcycles.com ). He is the importer of Hagon shocks, and he offers stock looking full shroud (black and chrome), as well as other options. Just make sure that the the bottom mount is the 'tuning fork' type.

I bought those, too. Not great quality but they got my bike through the road test. Needed to fit some 16mm ID packing washers to pack out the top mount and had to slip a 12mm ID washer inside the bottom hoop. Arrived quickly though. Thanks for the link to Dave Quinn! Next stop, I think.

Anybody got a pic of the Hagon shocks or a bike with them on?

I've pretty much given up thinking of splitting the original shocks I have to recondition them, I can buy a tool easy enough from the US but shipping costs double the tool, then I'd have to factor in the reconditioning costs. In the end it will be cheaper and easier to go for Hagon, they retail around 100ukp, but I'd like to see how close they are to original before I buy.
