Featured Hagon 2810 Shocks

Hi Jeremy,

Fitting the lower hagons on the rear will lower the ride height. As far as I know the replacement front springs wont alter the ride height. They will just improve the spring performance. You may end up with the front end riding a bit too high, slowing up the steering. This is usually compensated for by moving the front forks up higher in the fork trees.

I'm not familiar with the street twin. I assume the forks can be adjusted to even out your ride height.

You might be better off starting a new thread to attract the street twin owners for advice.

Thats great advice. I think i will just start with the rears and see how it feels to get a base line. Then try fiddling with the fronts. Good idea on checking with the ST guys too. Im new to forums in general so still working out how to navigate around. Thanks again and safe travels

A rare venture for me, spanner work. Having convinced myself that the handling of my T120 could be improved I decided to fit some Hagon 2810s. Not as flash as Nitros but I figured I wasn’t ever going to use their potential in the first place so I saved myself a couple of hundred quid. I rang Hagon and as been reported elsewhere they were very helpful. In fact after explaining I was a short arse we decided to try a pair which were shorter than standard. They built some that were 1cm shorter than stock and they duly arrived 2 days later.
I’ve just fitted them today after acquiring a Norbar torque wrench from eBay. Took me about a hour to sort it all out with a bit of horsing to get them pushed on. I used a bit of wood to wedge up the rear tyre to get the height for fitting.
Not got for a spin yet. So will let you know if they make a difference. If you don’t hear from me again it’ll be because of my spanner work and they’ve come off.
