Alternative damper for TL1000

[tl_tub]

so is it too early to tell us how it feels??

[98tls]

A whole lot better than the old one.........need to have a bit of a fiddle with the adjuster and see what works best.......maybe even change the spring......

[DEATH_INC.]

How's yer spring shock (if ya call it that....the one the springs wrapped around) I've seen a few of 'em seize and bend/break.

[98tls]

Still ok..........am going to take the bike down to a guy thats pretty good at setting suspension up....measure the sag etc....not to bothered if i have to change spring out as there not to expensive.....after forking out for the damper unit i might as well get the rest of it right...........

A mate got one fitted at Cycletreads.Good value and works well.

Hey Sensei.........ive got computer problems.........again.......i tried to get back to you but when i try long pms i log out......buggered if i know why.......anyway heres the thread on hagon.......as you can see it uses same mounting points but comes with brackets...........no reason why you couldnt re-weld mount and fit a steel plate either side when refitting oem rotary............cheap anyway................

hmmm.. that looks interesting. 98tls you still running the hagon? how does it compare to the bitubo and/or ohlins? how much of a mission was it to get the suspenion setup?

[98tls]

Still got the hagon and yea very happy with it.A whole heap better than the rotary and way cheaper than an ohlins......not going to criticise the ohlins its probably an awsome bit of kit but in my opinion grossly overpriced..i have never ridden a TL with a Bitubo but have spoken with many that have and are very happy.......that to is way cheaper than an ohlins,as far as setting the Hagon up..easy to install......i adjusted the + a bit from the settings it came with and havent touched it since.
