Heard great things about the Hagon's, but researched and went with the Ikons. Same as yours but chrome body-black springs. 77F bike, They set them up according to your weight. Love mine, real nice ride, a little stiff, but seems to work well for me. I had a few questions so, talked with a tech and was really helpful, Comes with a spanner. I'm sure Hagon's customer service is good, but after dealing with Ikon, I would definitely buy from them again.

I got my IKON shocks in the other day. Exactly one week from the day I ordered them to my door all the way from Australia via IKON USA in San Francisco. Dave Gardner the US IKON rep gets a big thumbs up for customer service.

Just in case anyone's wondering WHERE DO I GET SOME KONI's/IKON's  >:( - Ikon has finally made it to our side of the pond ;D

Got this Today about the 7610-1296 for the CB750K from:

Hello Chris,
I have Ikon orders coming in almost weekly, 3 day Air from the factory.  I could get you a pair of 7610-1296 for you at $380/pair, $20 UPS, $33.25 Ca tax, Total = $433.25
These are Chrome body, Black springs.  We have other combinations, chrome springs, black bodies you can mix.  Adding Chrome springs adds $60 to the shock cost.
We also make a 7614 Series shock for track application / competition.  They are $532/pair base price.  Billet aluminium body, black springs.
I've attached some pictures, not all of them -1296, but you can see the different appearances of the combos and a pair of 7614.
 
If you have any questions, give me a call.
415-738-9441, best after 10am PDT (San Francisco)
Thank you.
Dave Gardner

- Hope this helps someone save a lot of time haha  ;)

Yeah, Dave is the guy to talk to here in the states. They did a good job on my aluminum body shocks.

I'm. Using both. $400  fully adjustable and rebuidable Ikons on the 75'Kawi H1 500 and $230 Spring adjustable only/non-rebuildable Hagons on my 350F and the CL 175. Both brands work and fit really well but you have to decide if the rebound adj and rebuildability of the Ikons is worth the extra money.

I have IKONS on my CB750K7.  I'm debating on Works vs. Race Tech for my next project.
