Hagon Progressive Fork Springs
« on: 15 May 2016, 03:30:30 pm »
Hello, would you recommend buying this kit for '03 ?

http://www.hagon-shocks.co.uk/catalog/partdetail.aspx?partno=400-088-09K

Also, it doesn't say what oil grade it is...anybody knows?

I've got them on mine, and yes I'd recommend. Works well with the Hagon on the back. I'm about 14st and it makes the front much more solid. The oil is 15w rather than 10w, if I remember correctly.

 :agree

15w oil improves the damping

If you're gonna buy why not request 15w oil anyway and see if they can help you out, it feels much better than the 10w.

I have 15w now and it's ok, until the forks heat up...

I'm sure that's the set I got and put in and found them too stiff for my liking, took them out and replaced with original and a few penny washers either side and they're working a treat now.
So I think I'll be throwing them on the buy/for sale page soon along with the rear spring for a lot less than the OP price :)

i got a pair of Hyper-pro off ebay and some heavier fork oil, made a massive difference, but was also at the same time i did a R6 rear shock swap so the combination were excellent.


I am about 18st all kitted up so the stock shock setup was not good, the rear was underspring and old, the front would dive all over the place, worst of all when entering corners when braking and coming off brakes, it just took for-ever to pick it self up and not bog down/run wide, not any more with the above 2 changes

Does anyone have any spare 'spacers' for front forks or know of the size off them at all? I've had a wee idea that if I cut those down I'll be able to get my stiffer springs in :)
