New Rear Shocks

I looked on eBay UK and eBay US for some decent original rear shock absorbers but it looked like there was nothing to be had. Truth is, even if any had been available, they would have been pretty buggered in any case. So, I decided to bite the bullet and fit some new Hagon shocks.

Luckily, Hagon do quite a large range of shocks including the "Classic III" which is pretty identical to the original. When ordering, they ask your weight (cheeky sods) so that they can tailor them for you and the bike.

I ordered on a Wednesday and they arrived on Thursday. Excellent service! They fitted the bike perfectly and a quick test-ride determined that they worked just fine too.

Here's a photo of them on the machine and a front cover of a period brochure for comparison...
