Hagon shock or R6 shock

Post by andy b »

I have a hagon rear shock in my kr1s wet bike and a standard kr1s shock in my race bike. Im going to overhall all the suspension on my race bike. I also have a 07 R6 standard shock which i want to get resprung to my own weight.
Does any one know if im just waisting my time and money on the R6 shock and should i just use the hagon( is it as good as the R6 one, the hagon only has 2 adjustments?)

for best optimisation, the R6 shock needs to be re-sprung and re-valved (and shortened depending on whether you want standard ride height).
Also, the airbox needs to be hacked about too.
I've done all that, and it does feel very good though, saying that, Hagon are much better than standard thats for sure.
