MY A4 WAS NO DOUBT OWNED BY A BIG GUY AS THE NICE SHINY SHOKS HAVE VERY HEAVEY SPRINGS & I FIND MY 11 STONE FRAME BOUNCING OVER BUMPS! ANYONE GOT SOME AFTER MARKET SHOKS FOR SALE THAT HAVE SOME DESCENT DAMPING THAT EITHER HAVE OR CAN ACCOMODATE SOFTER SPRINGS?
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A GT750 KETTLE THAT CAME WITH NEW IN BOX HAGONS BUT THEY ARE ONLY 12INCH SHOKS!

Thanks for link. 365 centres seems long? Not keen on reflector type.

Have not decided what to do with the two Kettles i bought. One is a Tax free UK J with Drum front brake other is a K that has twin disc at moment.
Like many of us too many projects!!

Hagons are quite Firm/sporty..... have you thought of something from a lighter bike ie Z750/550?

Have Hagons on my H2C with no problem. I just think these Shoks on my Bike are with hefty springs. Likely to have little damping as many after market shoks.

Sam, Ive got Hagon Classics on the back of my A4 (and progressive springs in the forks) - handles well for an old girl.
What Kettle have you got ? can you put some piccys in The Bottom Shed section - I do like a nice Kettle :D

I have two Kettles in Kit form. A k with no engine! A j in too many boxes!! Both UK bikes. Bought them off a friend that was desperate for some dosh. Still not sure what to do with them. Until i got the Zed it was going to be my work horse(electric start) but now not decided.
