They're British old chap, so unlikely many HDF members will know them! They are available in North America, but I haven't seen much reference to them in here. I have a set of the 'normal' grade ones on my SuperLow, which are better than the stock shocks, but not a lot better.

If you can afford to try the 'Nitro' model, on your link, they should give better ride quality IMHO. Also if you do buy, phone Hagon, when you will get good service, on things like correct springs, suitable length etc. Don't buy shocks in a box off someone else's shelf.

Hagon shocks have longer travel than most Harley shocks, so you won't be able to use short ones, due to moving parts of the bike hitting fixed parts, but Hagon will explain that (as they did to me).

My pleasure! If you do buy them, post pics of your bike. I'm considering upgrading to Nitro myself, so will also appreciate feedback on their ride quality.
