Thinking of doing something similar to yours ?
Either that or selling it.Still pisses me off that on a £10k bike,Triumph don't deem it necessary to fit adequate suspension.

Are the IKON shocks the same length as the OE ones? I may well do these mods over the winter. I've also just ordered a pair of Alpina tubeless wheels, and Remus slip on silencers. Ah well 'in for a penny, in for a pound'.........it's like having a Harley all over again

So how did the Ikons improve the handling now you’ve had a while to get used to them? I’m looking for new rear shocks for my T120 but so many to choose from.Put the shocks on but haven't had time to test them much as yet
I did go for a first test ride on a particularly shite bumpy bit of road I know with lots of bends where even the GS feels rough
The ride was greatly improved straight out of the box on the 1st preload position but the steering had slowed maybe a tad , it didn't bottom out at all but was maybe a tad soft
I set the Preload to 2 out of 3 which quickened the steering back up nicely and set the rebound damping to 2 out of 4
I then basically rode it like a mental case down the same road and it was great, ended up thrashing the tits off the poor thing, first time it's ever been red lined
Not had chance to try it 2 up yet but I have plenty of adjustment left if I need any, I'm nicely in the middle of the operating range of the shocks, I chose the IKONs because I can adjust them in seconds if I need to
Very pleased with the over all result so far, the ride is much smoother than stock and the handling is far lighter and far more precise, definitely money well spent, the bike now feels as it should have done from the factory
