Title: Rear Shocks
Post by: Lukewarm Wilson on May 13, 2004, 04:37:44 PM
For anyone looking for a rear shock for the GS I have found these most of the long time forum readers probably already know of them (maybe they have them and can tell us about them) and they also do progressive springs for the front and seem to have importers around the world.
I should mention the name, Hagon Suspension the link is

I have sent an E-mail to the australian importer so all you Aussie riders I'll let you know when it comes in. :thumb:

Just got the answer back but a bit costly :o  :(  but i may still yet get one.

Has anybody used a hagon rear shock?

Anyway here is a copy of the reply

Hi

Thanks for your enquiry.

The Hagon monoshock you enquired about is $868.00, but not currently in
stock.  To order it in takes about 7-10 days.

Forksprings are $143.00 a pair plus $13.20 freight and we have them in our
own Ikon brand.

I have attached a fax back credit card order form for your use.  We are not
open on weekends.
Regards
Sales

if anyone is interested the Aust e-mail address is sales@proven.com.au and the company name is Proven Products Pty Ltd

I know I'll have to give it consideration because at 5foot 4inch and 55kg I cant afford a 2 inch rise in ride height and im already starting to tie my stock suspension in knots, I will try for the front fork springs first.
Also has anyone looked into having the stock shock modified as I'm told alot can now been done to non rebuildable shocks. :?
