I would have a look on ebay and see what is around.Pick up something from another bike the same sort of size maybe ?

I did look around and everything, I was thinking about getting second hand one. But then I change my mind because let's phase it I am a pretty heavy fella so the second hand could soon enough bounce me like the one on the bike now.

So if they are good, I will get a set of them, it is pay day today so I am going to get some then.

At the moment the bike scare me a bit on wet road and turns, so I better get it sorted before the worst happen. ;)

I've got the most basic Hagon shox on my 400 and they're fine. I got the heavy duty springs put on as I weigh errr.....quite a lot ;) :lol: (extra tenner). They're currently 130quid (plus post and plus the heavy spring if you need) from Hagon themselves.

Thems the ones, except that when I phoned and ordered them (2-3 years ago now) I was given the option of black springs (which I took). Don't know if that's still an option but worth asking if you ring.
