I have been actively hunting for a mid-line shock upgrade option and have compared and researched nearly all available.
I've been leaning toward Hagons after talking to the folks at davidquinn and Hagonusa.
I really wanted a dampening adjustement option though, which was not offered in the base line of Hagon Road shocks.
However, I was looking over the applications list on HagonUSA yesterday and noticed that the 2810 series is availible for GS bikes now.
I first emailed davidquin and HagonUSA who both responded that the 2810 series was NOT available. However as both companies dug deeper, having confirmed with HagonUK, the line IS availible on special order.
10 step dampening on bottom and preload adjustment at top.
I was quoted $305+shipping from davidquin with an estimated delivery time between 3 and 5 weeks. http://www.davequinnmotorcycles.co/ asks for a deposit of 1/2 of the total when the order is placed as a show of good faith, and will take the rest of the total when the order is shipped (which I kinda of like in a way so I don't have to shell out the total all at once...)
They come with a complete 2 year unlimited mileage warranty...same as their entry level Road Shocks.
Tons of options as far as configuration and springrate.
The negative? Not rebuildable...... But, the folks over at davidquinn motorcycles let me know that the regularly see folks getting 80,000 miles out of the Road Shocks so probably not that big of a deal.
I know there are tons of options for shocks out there, but I thought I'd share another strong option for a Quality mid line shock option.
