Featured Hagon 2810 Shocks

Cheers for posting report back on your ride. Have you set them to your weight? No photos then?

 

I do that to just about every nut and bolt on the bike, cant be too careful.

 

I'll be interested to hear how you get on, did you lower the front at all? I fitted Hagon shocks to my T100 20mm shorter and lowered the front by the same amount to keep the geometry the same, works great. Been thinking about putting some on the T120 as well.

 

Nice one Mark. Keep us informed mate.

 

Nice job. Can I ask, does your oiler make much mess? It's something I've been toying with doing but not decided yet.

 

Fitted exact same on my Speedmaster at weekend haven't had a chance to ride yet as weather has turned cold and too much salt on roads.
But looking forward to the improvement!

 

Thanks for the reply, which model is it?

Does the chain get lube on the inside? I read it can be a problem but I don't believe everything I read! I think we're stuck with the single nozzle aren't we?

 

Scorpion Dual Injector now available separately about £25 I think

 

I've just ordered a Cobbra nemo 2 oiler. Doesn't need a vacuum connection like scottoiler's v system. I know scottoiler do the electronic version that doesn't need a vacuum supply either, but £200 for an oiler !!!!

Looking forward to trying the Cobbra after years of using the v system on other bikes. Available from Amazon and a few bike outlets.

Edit, to stay on track with the original thread, lol, I did put some 2810's on my Bonneville. Massive difference over the OE rubbish. Found that they showed the front suspensions shortcomings though. Overcome by fitting Tec progressive front springs.

 

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie (Jeremy) from the US. I was going to start a new thread, but this one seemed to be close to what I wanted to bring up. I ride a 2017 Street Twin and recently have done allot of cosmetic mods. I'm now ready to start on some performance ones. I just ordered 2810 Hagon rears along with the companion front springs. The stock ones make the ride height too much for my stubby legs (feel free to laugh) so I went with the 310MM ones. I ordered through BellaCorse to purchase. After reviewing a bunch of videos on youtube its seems like the rears will hopefully be simple. Since I gave them my specs (weight/size of shock) I should just be able to bolt on without much adjustment correct? The more complicated part seems to be the front springs. First question there would be since I ordered the springs to match the rears, will just the springs be enough to balance the bike? I am no mechanic so if this is a stupid question I apologize in advance.

 

It depends;
What are you trying to achieve changing the front springs?
* Just lowering the ride height only?
* You're quite light and ride gently so want it softer as well?
* or what?

If going lighter then you may wish to back the damping off by fitting lighter weight fork oil.

Think heavy load/ more force i.e. aggressive riding, requires more damping and obviously the reverse is true likewise.

 

Thanks for the reply. The main goal is to lower the bike. Im a middle of the road rider and weigh 180lbs.
