GS750T Rear Shock Suggestions
I need to replace the rear shocks on my old GS. I am looking between Progressive's and Icons but am having trouble finding the appropriate part numbers and finding the cheapest place to buy them.
Help?

Do you want a backbreaking ride or just moderately harsh?Comment

I wanted these shocks and was able to fund them from my temporary travel to Holloman AFB, NM. AS you can see by my thread, I bought my V&H/4-1 Pipe around the same time.
It's a firm ride and you can adjust the shocks as needed. Call them if you intend to move forward; they're very helpful.

We put Hagon shocks on my wife's bike last year. She really likes them.
I have taken her bike around the block a few times, I like the way it rides.
We don't have any roads in the immediate vicinity to check ultimate "handling", but I'm sure they will do fine.
When I ordered them, they were cheaper than Progressives. Order them from Dave Quinn Motorcycles.

I ended up ordering a set of Progressive shocks. Ofcourse I forgot to order the shock spring tool so despite having the shocks already arrive... I cannot install them.2010 Honda VFR1200F

Are you talking about the adjusting tool? It should be in the box at no extra charge.
