Hi all,

I am seriously thinking about Hagons and looked on Bellacorse.com. I found this photo:



I was wondering if anyone has the one on the left? Any thoughts on Hagon handling?

Thanks.

I have the fully shrouded chrome ones (of course! ), second from the right. I love them. They handle/work/look great. I got mine with the extra heavy springs (23Kg/cm) due to some of the road conditions down here. Never bottom out solo and only bottomed once two up when hitting a huge bump. I actually stopped after that one to check my rims!

I have the one on the left on Wendys bike.Seems fine as far as handling goes. Looks like one on left anyway could be 2nd one in but not sure anymore. Hers are 2" shorter than stock.Heavy springs here too and heavy dampening.

Buddy, I just want to ask Phil what sag he prefers? That is how far the shocks sag from no weight to sitting down with feet on the pegs? Phil any ideas. BTW Buddy, the hagons are a top notch shocky and don't forget they also sell progressive front springs that are pretty cheap and very easy to install

I have the fully shrouded black and chrome ones. I bought them off the wall at my dealer. I should have ordered with the heavy springs - I'm 250 lbs. They look great on the bike, like they should have been there as stock.
