    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

OK, I'm planning to replace my rear shocks and have been doing a lot of searching/reading. Progressives are by far the most recommended brand. Hagons seem to be regarded as better shocks. Progressivses will cost about $230 plus shipping. Hagons are only $218 plus shipping.

This doesn't make sense... What am I missing? :confused:
 
Hagons imho are the better choice. However, the chrome on the springs isn't the best - might be why they're cheaper.
 
Meh. I don't care much what color the springs are as long as they perform. Function before form. (I was planning to go with black anyway.)
 
I have a set of each and they are both quality aftermarket shocks. The Hagons were a little stiff initially but after about 500 miles they broke in nicely. I do not think you can go wrong with either brand. One nice thing about the Hagons is that when you call for them Dave will ask you about your weight, riding style, and two up riding. I think the inner dampers are the same for the model you choose but the outer spring they use will be based on the information you give them.
 
Yeah it took a while to get mine, but I think they look really sharp. Unfortunately, I have nothing to compare them to. But I did like that dave was asking all those questions to get me set up with the right shock for the job
 
I think mine took 4 or 5? But as I recall, it's because the spring he needed was on back order from the UK. I believe it was a one off situation. Definitely give Dave a call and ask what he can tell you about benefits etc. He definitely sold me, but that was around 2 years ago, so I've since forgotten
