Well rear shock is on the way out. Need suggestions.

Well my rear shock has started to piddle oil on the floor and getting a little loose feeling in the rear. This winter it will be time for a new shock. I know of Hagon and Works shocks are there any others out there? Which would be best? Mostly 2 up interstate commerce. I'm about 230 and the wife is about 110. Thanks

The heavy duty Hagon should suit your needs. That and the Works seem to be the main options other than Yamaha's original equipment shock and that one is expensive ($579 here in the Great White North) and, on my bike, only lasted about 50,000 KM (about 31,000 mi.) - pretty sad. I'm very happy with my Hagon as it does a better job than the Yamaha shock ever did and costs less than both Yamaha's and the Works. The Works shock is good but I don't see it being worth the extra money over the Hagon (Around $800). And the Hagon is rebuildable when it does finally wear out.

I have the Hagon and like it. Put it in last winter after my OEM shock bit the dust.

I just put a Hagon on Retredgolfers scoot a few weeks back. See how he likes it. They get the info from you about weights, riding preference etc and build it up custom. Just make sure they have the correct shipping address. LOL Eddies went back and forth across the county 2 or 3 times looking for my house.
