For me it is a matter of both form and function, as while I do want them to ride nice, I want them to look good as well. I like the looks of the Hagon Classic I Black body shocks with the Black tops and polished bottom covers. A nice clean classic look; But where I have the Phantom Black flame tank and fender, I was also considering the Progressive 812 Flame cuts with Black springs. My wife tells me that the 812's look a little bit over the top... and the Hagon's fit the look of the bike better... Hagon Classic Progressive 812 Flame Cut

They allowed my pipes to drag on every corner with the wife on board and a lot of corners riding solo. Finally ditched them for a set of Progressive 440's, which didn't drag (neither did the stock shocks) I also didn't find the Hagons to handle or ride any better than stock.

I'm a pretty firm believer in function first and then form and if you can get both exactly how you want it then you've done well. As far as the function part goes though, generally it'll function better and for longer if you pay for it. So considering the Hagon super cheap basic bottom of the line numbers are about $218 whilst Eddy has the flame beauties for $368, many might suggest giving Eddy a ring Last edited by Staffo; 09/06/2008 1:53 AM.
