hagon rear tlr shock

[oneeviltwin]

Monoshocks for your Suzuki TL1000R are not held in stock, but we can get one
here within 10 days to two weeks from the date of order. We will be CLOSED
2-21 November, but would be happy to order the shock on our return.

Cost is $335, plus UPS at cost to you which will vary depending on your zip
code. It would be useful to know your weight, whether you carry passengers
( % of the time, passenger weight?), what aftermarket accessories you have
fitted (e.g. a fairing or luggage) and the maximum load you expect to carry.
If Hagons determine that your loading exceeds the design parameters of the
shock, they can supply shocks with uprated springs for a $50 surcharge.
Shocks are also available to special order with a remote hydraulic preload
adjuster- these are $485 each.

Shocks are fully rebuildable and feature infinitely adjustable preload
(threaded spring collar), adjustable linked compression and rebound damping
and a two year unlimited mileage warranty against failure due to
manufacturing defect. Shocks are not returnable once they have been fitted.
All adjusting tools are included with the shock.


For special orders we ask for a 50% good faith deposit when we order, with
the balance due when we ship. If you're interested in ordering, we accept
VISA & Mastercard; we need:
- name as it appears on your credit card
-daytime phone number
-billing address for the card
-ship-to address if different
-card number
-expiration date.

Call or Fax if you are uneasy about emailing credit card details.

Let me know if I can offer you any other information.


All the best,

i think this sound like a cheap alternative to the other shcoks available for us
maybe we can get a grooup buy on it

[kevh]

they dont specify tls on the website. is it an option?

[J-Bone]

maybe something for us on this side of the pond to look into as well, group buy that is ?

Where are these shocks manufactured?

[oneeviltwin]

How do the Hagon shocks compare in quality to a Penske or Ohlins? I've never heard of Hagon before.

[tlrtone]

Hi,

Hagon have a good name in the UK, and build quality is good.
I have just fitted one to my TLR recently and initial feelings are that it is very good. Obviously I cannot compare it to Penske or Ohlins as I have not ridden a bike with them on for comparison.

I will call my contact in Hagon tomorrow and let you know what the deal is with the TLS and what sort of group buy you can get.

I am happy to help in any way I can for you fellow tiller owners.

some more pics of the fitting :

this could turn out being a great deal since its prolly way better than the rotary and not a whole lotta $$$ either!

[oneeviltwin]

[kiwi]

I have ordered 1 for my TLR its arriving in december,I will be giving a full report when it arrives.I already put a post about hagon shocks a while ago they are half the price of anything else we can get over here.
cheers

335 is pretty cheap for a rear shock. What would be the advantage of the remote hydraulic adjuster for the 485?

Makes it much easier to set the preload.

What I would say is thet with the Rotary damping unit gone, the space around the shock is increased. This means that preload adjustment is pretty easy to get to. The hydraulic adjuster could be put somewhere easy to get to to 'dial' in the preload easily but since I don't change it often I can manage without. You get the allen key and c spanner with the shock.

[tlrpunk]

I'm in if there's a group buy! Finally, a reasonably priced rear shock option.

The way oneeviltwin's picture shows it, the Hagon piece replaces both the shock AND the rotary damper. Is that right? And what about the link pictured? Eliminated too?
