Hagon progressive fork springs?

I added a gel pad from ebay. There's an article at http://www.hforcier.com/sre/gelseat.htm showing a DIY insert, although the one I got didn't need cutting down.

There's also a thread at
http://www.sv-portal.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38958
on DIY seat mods with a downloadable guide with good pictures. So long as you have a staple gun it's quite easy - I reshaped mine first but it was still uncomfy, so I stripped it again and added the pad.

Have had Hagon progressives in mine for years now & as everybody else has said they make a big difference over the sponges that are standard. They stiffen the front up no end.

HI, right i just took mine out for the first time since fitting hagon springs(from wemoto may i add) and 15w fork oil, along with a zx636r rear shock. massive improvement over the 12 year old stock set up, dips in the road that i used to hold on for dear life, are gone. fully reccomend unless u can afford a complete front end swap, im planning on that next year.

I've just bought these from wemoto, went for these over linear because theyre slightly cheaper and I'm not really a fast rider/no track days. Just looking to improve on the dangerously crud standard ones.
I'm taking it to a garage for them to install them, is it worth replacing the oil/dust seals whilst they're apart or only if they're leaking/damaged? Anyone know what I should be expecting to pay for this job?

No only if they are leaking. You don't need to remove seals to do this job.

Ah right, thanks mate.

If you take your time over buying the bits, you can do it for cheaper than buying new springs...I even turned a profit when I did mine.

Yeah I would have done too if the first set of discs I bought weren't like poppadoms!
