And again a shock question
 

I own (ride) a 1992 model Honda TransAlp, 400ccm, built for the Japanese market. So far no problems at all, very trustworthy and so on, however, I would like to get a new shock. Anyone any experience with this one???

I would appreciate any advice, especially because the price is in my opinion very acceptable.

No personal experience of Hagon, but they're well regarded as an entry level aftermarket shock.

It's no Ohlins or Maxton, but it's a lot better than a worn out OE shock and should be fine for normal use.

I have heard of heavily laden Africa Twins on knackered African roads breaking Hagon shocks, but like I say, for normal use on normal roads with normal luggage should be no problem!
