Might be best to ask here about Hagon adjustment

[Kenny]

Need to soften my Hagon rear shocks.

But how do I go about it as I havn't got the right Hagon C spanner

I assume they can be adjusted.

 

[Tarka]

I`ve got the proper C spanner.

A few of them, I think.

I`m home from now til about 2pm then home from 5pm to 7pm.

.... I'm on my way as I type !!

.... I'm on my way as I type !!

Indeed he was.....soon after this was posted,a very small Scouse type chappie arrived on a very large Kawasaki.
I thought the bike in the picture above didn`t look much like a Beemer.

Anyway...the required item (my Hagon shock absorber C spanner) was put into use to soften the suspension and Kenny was sent out to see how much better or worse the ride was ..... couldn`t really have been any worse,as when he arrived,the two shocks were on different settings.

He returned very pleased...so I donated a spare Sebac C spanner.

Then he commented that the bike had been lowered a tad at the front end and he didn`t fancy stripping the wheel out,etc to alter the height.
It just needed the fork pinch bolts slackening and the forks dropping down in the yokes,so after a Carry On comedy with a centre stand that`s missing the foot section , we had that job done in a jiffy.

Some cables were re-routed correctly.....for a moment,anyway.
What on earth is this strange object......?

Then he commented on the small screen on my GL1100 being a good idea,as there is some windblast when riding the big Kawasaki.
I dashed up to my loft to grab an old screen that I had lying about.

It was handmade ... hammered out of a solid chunk of coal...by a gnarled and wizened, cranky, old Midlands hermit who now resides in a hole in the ground just outside Chester.
Could be a laugh to fit it to Kenny`s bike,though.

So he'll be around tomorrow then

Good on Ya Kenny, you can't beat a Z1300
Best 6 pot bike ever made IMHO,,,

 

[Kenny]

Thanks Proff...got one in the end...going to strip it down after the Scrabsters Rally in a fortnight ( may be sleeping with the guy who will do the major work ) ...may as well rebuild the bastard seeing as tarka made a start at taking bits off

I tried that VND screen but the sheer weight of it compressed the front forks and we couldn't get it off the path !!!

 

[(RIP) Proff]

Remember Kenny the hardest part to get off a Z13 is that fecking front engine bolt !!!!

You think airheads can be bastards in that dept !! nowt on a Z13

 

[BillN]

Judge is yer man - he loves Hagons!

 

[Rob Farmer]

Are you going to trike it?

 

[Kenny]

Are you going to trike it?

Now there's a thought




Or maybe a......

 

[Tarka]

Remember Kenny the hardest part to get off a Z13 is that fecking front engine bolt !!!!

That`ll piss out on Kenny`s bike......it`s permanently bathed in warm oil.

 

[Kenny]

I have to use industrial loctite to keep the bugger in !!!

She is like a good woman now, softly sprung and warm and wet in the front !!
