Hagon Rear Shock

[raginmund]

Pretty chuffed to have picked up a Rear hagon shock (6000 miles use, in warranty until July 2010) from ebay - £63!!

My bike is on the original shock, no leaks. Should I fit the hagon now? And is there anything to watch out for? I don't have a hagon for the front btw, they are £275 new.

Have a read before you fit that piece of shite to your bike http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=209925

Duly noted Rob; if it makes any difference, I will not be riding the GS off-road, and the shock is set for a 96kg rider (unfortunately, I'm about this weight..).

As I understand it, the standard GS rear shock is rebuildable, but not the front. And Ohlins etc seem to have a high 'rebuild needed' rate as well.
