OK, 50 odd mile test ride done and good news. Pre-load is set just on the firm side, backed compression & rebound a click or so front and rear and the bike is so much better. Really different, I couldn't be more pleased. Only came home because I needed to eat The Phantoms can stay till they're worn out. I know there are better tyres out there but the bike is so on the money it'd be a waste of cash. Cheers for the tip again, lesson here is don't be afraid to get in there and experiment and do some research.
I thought that about the fantombs until I changed to avons, completely different bike, much more confidence in the corners.
2019 T120 , Hagon 2810s on back prog springs up front, Avon Spirit STs on front and back with a 39 tooth sprocket for better acceleration on the Devon lanes. For comfort 1" bar riser from Motone and gel pack in seat for a comfy arse . Def not same bike I got from showroom ,transformed into the bike I wanted.
Just boughtt a pair of IKON rear shocks for my T120 2nd hand resonable price so cant wait to get them futted, Ill order a TEC front spring set with preload adjunters, hopefully that will sort out the harshness of the ride, ive also got a peir of Avon road rider tyres arriving today which I know are ok as I fitted them to my T100 and they transformed the bike Rob
Well Hagons were sold on! Couldn't get happy with them, plus I have lost weight enough to render them another lighter spring. Tyres are very good, better than the original ones. The rest of the mods in very happy with. Added a jel seat from saddlecraft, was finished off with light grey top, black sides, well nice.
Hi Rob, I went back to the original shocks. At the end of the day they maybe not as good as hand made ones but they work to a fashion. I am not the best person to judge on suspension set ups, I've only been riding for 48 years, and normally just adjust to the bike as is.
