Default Custom Hagon 2810 Rear Shocks Installed

Took less than 3 weeks from order to in my hands. Built to my specs. These are a bit over 1" longer eye to eye (15.125") than the OEM units. You will have to adjust your belt as it is too slack once these are installed. That will be taken care of when the Dunlops are installed.

And the last pic........I am working with Moroso on plug wires. Working on fitment and build. Super secret squirrel stuff and all.

Haven't ridden it yet. Middle of winter. When it's warm enough to ride there is still sand and salt all over the roads. Additionally, the wheels are currently off the bike and at my indy having new Dunlop Q3+'s installed. The bike probably won't leave the garage until sometime in March.

Ehh, I deal with it. It could be worse.

Went for a ride today. Had to start breaking in the new Dunlops and bed in the EBC brake pads. While I couldn't push the bike like I normally do because of scrubbing in the new tires I can say the Hagon shocks are fabulous!!!! The added length puts a bit more pressure on the front end and it now gives all kinds of feedback. That might be from the Dunlop Q3+'s as well. So, it seems I have made some very good choices between tires, brake pads and suspension.

Judging by some measurements it looks they added roughly 3/4". I can say I'm glad I had the Ohilns kit installed in the fork legs as well. The bike handled and felt good stock but now it's a pure pleasure! Very good all around bike.

Now that I have some heat cycles into the new tires, the clutch adjusted well and the all new suspension dialed in (both the Hagon rear shocks and the Ohlins fork cartridges) I'll be hitting my favorite 2 roads tomorrow. This bike has been transformed. Lean angle, traction, cornering stability.....all so much better. I can say that the OEM tires were not only low on traction but poor in profile. Oh, and I just had to get a personalized plate for this rarely seen model Harely.
