Hagon Shocks USA

[Tyler1st]

Got em put on. Way better than stock

B1 and Team,

What is required from me other than the correct torx bit (which is T40?) , and a Simple Lift to get the bike off the ground?
I have read through the thread and would love if someone whom has done this install to share a simple outline of their process. Much appreciated!

Just a 17mm socket. I loosened bolts. Then hack bike up just enough to take weight off of shocks. Took bolts off. Took shocks off. Jacked up a little more to make up for extra shock length. Slid new shocks on. Put bolts back on. Let bike down from jack. Tightened bolts.  Super easy.

Perfect,

Just making sure there wasn't any sneaky little aggravations.

Just Called and got the 290mm and loaded at 25kg.

Any updates on the 290mm length and belt tension??

I was about to go for the 280mm and find the happy mid ground from the thread but I do want to gain a solid 1" of height out of this as well the handling and performance.

Thanks guys!

Isn't it a t40s? The tamper proof version?

My Hagons from ebay came with a Torx socket.

I haven't ran into any issues with my 290s. Love em! You're in for a real treat with your Cspec. I'm looking into purchasing the sportier pegs/bracket for my bike. The Hagon shocks already made a huge difference in lean angle, but I'm curious just how much better they'll be on a bike with the rearsets. Let us know how they work for you once you get them installed

Yes the tamper proof one. Anyone going to the tool store needs to know this. The regular one will not work. I'm only on 280 and got an inch easy. The one thing i did not like was the height it added.

Can't have your cake & eat it. Extra hight equals extra comfort. No easy way around it.

Yeah I know I looked in to em before purchasing the Hagon's. They do look neat. From what I've read though, they aren't that much better, considering they cost an extra 1k. It's a lot of money for a small improvement.

Extra 1k??? Sscustoms has them
For $939.  I don't know if they are $700 better lol. If I could sell my hagons to offset the cost I would do it. The hagons are not a huge upgrade over stock, I like them, just being real.

Fair enough. Was going off pricing in Australia. Easily an extra 1k here. If money wasn't an issue I would've splurged.

Oh damn! One of the members has put sportster shorty shocks on his and loves them.

So easy, until I tightend a little to far and ripped the Torx head off the bolt....

PAIN IN THE ASS mistake right here.

Sorry to hear mate. I highly recommend getting a torque wrench & following service manual guidelines for tightening crucial bolts on a bolt.

I checked through the service manual & attached diagram with required details.
