So i guess U can still order replacement springs from IKON USA?

[salty_monk]

Z1 is doing the springs as well if you look at the full listing. Black & Chrome.

for us uk gs lovers norman hyde do these shocks still and now harris race pipes again not sure of quality tho as they used to have issues with the chrome

Price seems reasonable for adjustable shocks. Progressives are what, $220 or so?

[salty_monk]

Progressive are roughly about the same I think... usually they are listed without the spring which is $70.

Looks like they've got 'em for the shafties, too:

$238.99 without springs

Springs are $62.02 in black, $91.91 in chrome.


For shocks with adjustable damping and that are rebuildable, $300 is a screaming bargain.

Progressive 12 series shocks are around $220 - $240 a set with springs, and are not adjustable or rebuildable.

I wonder if Jeff and the gang have access to ALL of the styles/models of IKON shocks? I was looking at their Fitment and Specs sheet, and they have a set like these that are 14.35 inches EYE TO CLEVIS, that would be perfect for my 1100ES. I definately will be picking up a set of these for the G and eventually the 750B though! Glad he's selling these now!

Keep us posted where you find these buggers, I'm looking for about the same thing.

That spec is for a Honda CBX/CB900 ie 365 mm between mounts istead of 335mm (GSX). I have a set on my modified 1982 Katana, raises the rear end and sharpens up the steering. A good mod but if you have an aftermarket swinging arm fitted (JMC in my case) with eccentric adjusters you have to watch out for the top chain run hitting the top of the arm at the front pivot.

Jeff has the Honda ones listed from memory... look at the full listing!

How do I work out what springs I need for my GS1100G with a 125 KG saddle sore and occasional 85 KG pillion. Does my riding style/preference make a difference
