Alternative damper for TL1000

[98tls]

Bought one of these today....its a Hagon unit thats just been released for the TLS...at 217 pound its a cheaper alternative to the ohlins and compares in price to the Bitubo one piece unit,reviews seem very favourable and cant wait to get it on.The old damper unit with its bad rep served me ok until i had the $ to buy this but now will serve out its sentence as a paper weight...

that looks nicely robust! i still think the bitubo is prettier though

in the short time the bitubo was operating on mine i couldnt quite get the settings sorted, but it sure made an improvement taking out that old worn soas

Not sure on that one Brent.....theres a bit of a wait for the Bitubo at the moment and this came along so i thought bugger it i"ll have one.Hagon have been around for years and the reviews on TLZONE seemed good so itll do me i reckon...

[tl_tub]

im not sure how many others have the bitubo, but when im all up and running again we should do a swap to see what the difference is

the fitting of your hagon looks much simpler than the bitubo as it doesnt have the remote adjuster, which was rather difficult to try and get in and around all the bits and pieces with its hose attached. all the best fitting it! make sure you get some photos with it installed!

So $465 Inc GST for a Brand new Ohlins Damper off Robert is dearer ? than $217 Pounds which works out to be 3 to1 $$$$ would make it around $651 + postage & that cheaper How ?

i can promise you you wont buy a suspension damper unit for a TLS for $465..your talking about a steering damper ya wally.......

Yeah, i was going to say, ohlins are about 1400 new i think arent they?

Heh, got him there! I must admit Sensei, I too forgot about the separate damper/spring thing on the TLs and figured it was a steering damper

[Sensei]

My mistake still wouldn't buy anything but Ohlins .

[98tls]

i share your sentiments on the ohlins sensi......if the budget could stretch i would have for sure.The Hagon works on the same principle as the ohlins ie seperate spring damper unit as oppposed to the Bitubo that is a spring/damper unit combined.....whether its as good as an ohlins i have no idea.i dont race the TL and am not carl fogarty so i reckon the Hagon will do the trick.
