Mk2a - Rear Suspension

Hi Mark,  having used Hagons for years,  I  have splashed out and had some Falcons made up. They are made to order, for your weight and riding style, and are fab. After sorting the front end ( progressive springs & rgm damping kit) this was the obvious way to go. Go smoooooth !

Are you using the preload and raising the bike at the back. I use rebuilt Koni's with adjustable rebound damping and when 2 up raise the rebound damping 1 notch and set preload to highest of the 3 steps and no lightness at the front. There are better Hagons now, but the basic one is just a copy of the original Girlings. I have fitted CBR600 cartridges to the front as well with std springs, the progressives I had in before did not seem to add anything compared to normal and cartridges work better with std springs so changed back.

Have you tried putting a cable tie round the stem of the Shock? This tells you how much travel you’re using(apologies if you know this)
