Any recommendation for the repair of Hagon shocks. Mine have lost all the damping capabilities.
Cheers

Re: Rear shocks repair
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.

Re: Rear shocks repair
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.chrispyduck wrote:Just thinking that it may be too expensive.

Re: Rear shocks repair
stuff like suspension and brakes, you get what you pay for. Hagons work well and last.

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