Topic: New rear shocks

[Floshenbarnical]

Either my shocks are old and spongey or I’m heavier than they were designed for. I’m 240lbs and 6’3.

I want some stiffer ones. How would I go about ordering some stiffer shocks?

If you have megabucks to spend talk to Ikon the new firm for Koni, for less money but not as adjustable talk to Hagon who now make the old girling shocks.
Both thes firms are outside the US but used to be happy to send, not totally sure of the situation now with tarrifs

It looks like Lossa Engineering in California has the Hagon shocks for $365

The Hagons should be built for your weight and riding style. I'm in the UK, so I got mine direct from Hagon. A single phone call, to take my details. They arrived a couple days later, bolted straight on and transformed the handling. No more vague bouncing around.

+1 Hagon, mine work well, I have the stainless style to combat our marine environment here. Quick service.

Thanks everyone. I’ve moved back to the uk to look after family, and I’ve had the bike shipped to me here. Will probably move back after the political madness calms down there.

So I’ve settled on some Hagon ones that run about £150, not sure what the difference between those and the £250 ones are but I’m sure a rider like me won’t need the upgrade.

Now I just need someone in the south who can make a custom 4:1 exhaust (sump thing gets in the way of any on the market)
