Anyone tried Hagon shocks on a 650G???

[tkent02]

Been riding the 650G, like it a lot. It's going to be a keeper, it goes good, tank of gas goes a long time, nice size bike, handles well, needs shocks badly. Has anyone tried Hagons? If so what length, spring rate, etc did you use?
What do you think of them?

tkent, I have had a set on my 1100 for about 4 years now and have been happy with them. When I got them I picked the model I wanted and then called and spoke with Dave Quinn. He asked about my weight, one up, two up, max loaded weight, riding style etc and matched the damping and spring rate to the information I gave him. I do not know the specifics of what he sent but they are good quality shocks IMHO. They seemed pretty harsh when I first got them but after 600 miles or so broke in nicely and overall I would put them pretty equal with the 412 Progressives I have on my other bikes. I would buy them again.

tkent,

I'd be interested in any mods you do to your shock or forks. Got the check.

OK, forks are getting cartridge emulators, and some better springs. New bushings and seals. Hagons on the rear. Avon Road Riders all around. I'll let you know how it works out. I'm thinking it will be pretty sweet.
