Hagon Nitros

Ill check that out, but it only happens on bumps at a pace, cheers TC

 

Checked it out today, the side stand spring and tension is good, no bounce there.
The centre stand spring does feel light and it is definitely allowing the stand to bounce a little going over large bumps, not on normal potholes though.
I think I will try a stronger spring, it never did it with the OEM shocks fitted so I suppose at least it proves the new shocks and springs are working different to the OEMs and it's not just my imagination telling me it's much improved.

 

I've fitted them to my bike as well. They're brilliant. Fitting them is just the start though. Tuning them to accommodate your weight, correct rebound & how you ride takes a while longer. Fortunately an ex- racer has helped me no end to set it up properly.
For what it's worth MCT suspension at Stow Market will design,fit & tune the suspension to your exact requirements. He has fitted out 3 bikes for me in the past and completely transformed the handling & pleasure I GT out of the bikes. Pricey but well worth the money.

 

The Hagons I fitted only have 3 basic adjustment settings and cost £145 pair.
The key is to speak personally with Hagon and tell them your weight, riding style, types of road etc. and they will build the units to suit, which is why 3 basic settings have been fine for me.
1) Solo
2) Pillion
3) Pillion & Luggage
I love simplicity!

 

That's great Mick. You've got to go with what works for you and not necessarily what has worked for someone else. I mentioned MCT Suspension for those who want a bespoke fitted system. I didn't actually use them for my T100. I couldn't justify the cost for a bike I just bimble about on, but for my long distance tourer, without hesitation. With the Hagons, I have fine tuned them over a period of some weeks & following the advice of a guy who has way more knowledge than me. The stock T100 (2014) has awful suspension. The Hagons that are now set up really well, have transformed the handling.
