hi , as it says anyone know of anywhere to get a good quality rear shock for reasonable money , looking to upgrade but finding ohlins prices in shops to be more than i could justify for such a thing , thanks

For about half the price of an Ohlins you could get yourself a Hagon shock. OK not as blingly as the Ohlins or have as many adjustments, but it does a better job than the original shock and you can have a correct weight spring for your body weight supplied with it. Tony.mon and Stratman have them and may be others. AFAIK they are well pleased with theirs.

yeah to tell the truth bling is a part of it but i do want a quality item too , im not sure of the origins of the shock in my bike but it seems to be a resprung original item age unknown , thanks for advise tho , ill have a look and compare options , cheers !

If you post a pic of your shock we might be able to help with what it is, if that's any help,

Chris.

I looked at a Hagon shock when I had the VTR. Good value unit like Chris says.

I ended up buying a Technoflex unit from Holland which was moderately pricier. Hagon didn’t have all the parts in stock for the VTR unit when I wanted to order and said it would take up to a month.

cool thanks will have a root now

Yeah, happy enough with the Hagon, although I paid extra for the remote adjuster.

But it's got a bit of rust on the top collar, after only about two months. I contacted them, they said they'd replace it (there's a 2 year warranty) but suggested I use it this winter and change it next spring.

Seemed a good idea, so I'll be holding them to that.

If they go out of business at Xmas I'll look bloody silly, mind....
