Oi gladys owners
 
Saw this on svrider from hagon

We do not, as yet produce a fitment for your machine, but are interested in doing so.
If you are able to bring the bike to us and leave it for around a week, we will develop and fit a new Hagon monoshock for a price of £100.00 instead of our 'off the shelf' price of £275.00. This recognises your contribution to helping us acquire the spec to add the bike to our fitment list.
Seat lowering shocks will be supplied at the the same price, however side stand modifications, if required, will be charged at an extra £30.00.
Remote pre load adjustment can be specified at an extra £125.00.
All prices include VAT.

That's interesting Chris. Only the other day I was on the blower to Hagon regarding fork springs for a Gladius.

They are usually pretty quick at getting shocks & springs for new models onto the market. I hope they are in this case, Gladius forks are pretty under sprung to say the least.


Cheers.

£100 is a bloody bargain. Hagon are a very helpful company to deal with. I've got Hagon front and rear on the ZZR, and can thoroughly recommend them.

Nr Chigwell in Essex very close to the A127/A12 unless they've moved in the last few years

They did a great job repairing one of my wheels after my "traffic island incident" all those years ago, not used em for springs though

Well I'd snap up a Hagon brand new for 100 quid, thats for sure.

Although some may argue Hagon are expensive, I really can't complain at having full suspension made by Hagon. Thoroughly transformed my bike, does the job I personally require.

Having two SVs suspension to compare, one of which has Ohlins in the front, if I had the money right now, I'd put Hagon on that too.

Good heads up there Chris, hopefully it will benefit somebody :-)

Good man! Make sure you ask them to make some fork springs too! :D

Hagon are one of the best companies to deal with in the trade, & British too BAH!


Cheers.
