Is there an issue with Hagon Shocks or is it just me,had my Commando since 2008 , Hagons fitted as part of the"recommissioning" . These lasted the best part of 11 years, Fairdo"s. no complaints 4.000 miles a year ish.Replaced in 2021,these then failed after a year and I was sent new ones for free. These in turn only lasted  until 2023 and again these were gratis replacements after only 2 1/2 thousand miles. These in in turn have now failed.  Hagons repeatedly have said there was a rogue batch, but this is now 4 times and is getting   ridiculous . Is there decent alternative out there. My first pair were £150, about double that now .

Ikons seem the way to go as you can rebuild them if seals or bushes fail.

You'll need to dig deep in your pockets tho, but worth it imho.

I fitted Girling Shocks to my Mklll last year and whilst I've only covered 2k miles since they have been excellent. They were nowhere near as expensive as Ikon or Hagon Shocks at around £160 for a pair. I don't know if they perform as well as Ikons but there certainly a match for Hagon Shocks.

..another example of a once-trusted brand name now just stuck on foreign made stuff, much in the way of Lucas, Wassell etc?
