I personally would not buy a Hagon shock. They may be rebuildable but most suspension shops will regas and respring an OEM shock from any bike so this isn't a big issue. I don't believe that Hagon's are supplied with any other springing options than that advertised on their site "delivered with the spring pre-load set for an average weight rider (75-100Kg)", and I don't believe the materials they use would be any better than an OEM shock given they are built to a budget. They lack features that the OEM shock has such as a remote reservoir and the ability to adjust compression and rebound damping individually, so to my mind this is a downgrade rather than an upgrade.
A decent aftermarket shock with the same features as the OEM shock and supplied sprung and set up for your weight and riding style is going to set you back around £600 (Nitron Race). If that's too rich for your blood I would look at the R6 mod, esetest has shared his personal experience of both this mod and a Hagon shock and has said he found the R6 shock to be the better option. PM Luke (DevilsYam) and ask about the costs & options for him to supply all the bits you need.
