I've got a Hagon unit on mine, and whilst the unit itself is fine, because they build the thing 10mm longer than stock AS STANDARD, it jacks the arse end up the air to the point that my partner can't ride the thing, and I'm struggling with it. I specified stronger spring rate aswell to cope with panniers and two up riding, bbut by god the thing is tall. Bearing in mind that I have lowered the front of the bike by 20mm to make it turn easier (forks through yokes jobby), I am still struggling to reach the deck.

I've only done 350 miles on the shock, but am seriously considering putting the original back on, just so I can get me feet down easily.

Hagon will do a standard length shock, but that is a special order. Had I known that, I'd paid the little extra for it.


Of course, is someone is considering buying a new shock from Hagon, specify a standard length with uprated spring, and I'll gladly swap with you!!!!
