    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ikon / Koni Shocks

So i guess U can still order replacement springs from IKON USA?
 
Z1 is doing the springs as well if you look at the full listing. Black & Chrome.

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

Dan :)
 
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.
 
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
