Any recommendation for the repair of Hagon shocks. :?: Mine have lost all the damping capabilities. :shock:

I think but may be wrong not all shocks are rebuildable, I have used Hagon shocks on a few of my bikes and their after sales service is fantastic. I would certainly check with them first to find out if they are rebuildable and if so get a price from them as they certainly know what they are doing.

I bought TEC shocks for my kettle off eBay for around £80 and they have been fine. The only thing I would advise is change the cheapo nylon bushes for some proper rubber ones if the shocks are supplied with those. I bought another set for my T500 project and they where supplied with proper rubber bushes.

stuff like suspension and brakes, you get what you pay for. Hagons work well and last.

I bought a pair for my Kettle earlier in the year and they transformed the ride, something worth noting if you decide to replace is that they were £30 cheaper from Wemoto than direct from Hagon

Just checked the Wemoto site. £206 for the rear Hagon custom classic 8-)

I reckon this would be my best and safest option :roll: I will not order till i have spoken with Hagon tho !
