Last year I bought Hagon shocks to replace my old, original units.
I like them fine, and for the model I chose, I only paid $188US for them last spring.
Melena followed suit later on last year.
This is the U.S. distributor:
http://www.davequinnmotorcycles.com/As far as I know, Dave Quinn is not a large operation, and I believe it was Dave I spoke to on the phone when I ordered them.
The reason for this thread is to warn any potential buyers of a small glitch with the shocks. I can't remember, but I think Melena experienced the same problem as I did.
That problem is that the steel bushing on the lower mounts is approximately 1-2mm thicker (wider) than that of the original shocks, and on the left side of the swingarm, where it fits into a 'U' bracket, it is too large.
This really is not much of a problem, as a flat file and 30 minutes of your time will have it installed easily.
Well, I just got off the phone with Dave Quinn, and he told me the 'standard' for BMW's (inc. R65s) is 24mm. Before I called, I went out and measured my old shock, and it measured 23mm, which explains why I had to remove some material.
Dave said that when he receives the shocks from the manufacturer, there is no bushing installed, so if you have a set of calipers, you can measure your old ones (or the 'U' channel) and he can install a narrower one before he ships them out to you.
