Hagon shock for RSV

[Thistledown]

Called Dave Quin Motorcycles and ordered the hagon shock product ID HA M62097U with 300 KG spring. $464.00 plus 17.70 shipping gave him rider 220, pass 180, 20lbs each bag and 20 lbs in trunk. It is an 06 RSV with 81K on the clock and the second factory shock just went. took about 3 weeks to get. As suggested in some of the write ups, I cross tied the bike to plumb then remover passenger foot rest on right side and the plastic underneath. loosened top and bottom bolts then raised on jack stand to rear wheel just off floor. whole job took less than an hour. did the test ride, I think it will be just fine, It's as sport as an RSV gets solo and perfect 2 up. The adjustments on the shock are just as the factory set it, That is red spring all the way to the top (loose). I think it's a winner

Glad to hear it, keep us posted on how you like it as you put on the miles. I like the option they have of a preload dial. Ron:)

Well I know that the shock thing is an on going problem with the 2nd Gen, so I just thought I would pass this along to say that I have ridden a couple thousand miles and it works very well. From the factory setting was perfect.

Thanks for the update. If/when my shock dies, that's the one I'm going with. Ron:322:

Thistledown,

 

Did you have to get longer bolts for the hagon shock? I should be receiving mine Friday evening in the ups delivery. So I want to make sure I have everything so I can do the replacement hopefully Friday night and be able to ride Saturday.
