| | Posted : 21 Mar 2012 - 02:19 Post title : Re: Rear Shocks (Re: easyrider) | | | I just got my new Hagon Slimline 2810s in the mail today and plan to put them on within the next couple of days. I want to do it tomorrow, but I just ripped my kitchen floor out and need to put the new one down first. The ones I got are an inch lower than stock so I'll post some pics/performance updates when I get them installed.

| | Posted : 01 Apr 2012 - 01:58 Post title : Re: Rear Shocks (Re: ledzep) | | | I put konis,(ikons now), on my 78 Bonnie 20 plus years ago. Were a huge improvement and they are still going strong. Just been checking out some new ikon progressive fork springs and shocks for the storm. Had it 2 days and have come to the conclusion the suspension is shite.

| | Posted : 20 Jun 2012 - 13:47 Post title : Re: Rear Shocks (Re: Melonhead) | | | Hi,
my recommendation is WILBERS-Shocks.
Serial #: ID: 640-0968-00
You can choose the length (longer for better handling and more peg-clearance) and the colour of the spring (black or blue).
The offer any RAL-colour for a certain charge.
The shocks have rebound-adjustment, which is a big goal!
Here a pic (hope it works.. ):
A little disadvantage is, that they are sold in Germany, but there is probably a dealer in the USA?
I am quite confident with them since they work perfect and with felow-passenger and baggage there is no more pumping over bumpy roads.
And they look much better !
Have a good time, Pivi
