    Don't believe everything you see...

    The other day i installed a Hagon rear suspension damper on my TL...all was good...so i thought.......anyway i posted up a few pics of said damper..installation etc on TLZONE a overseas based website for tls/r owners.....this bloke posts up a picture of the damper taken at the Birmingham bike show at the Hagon display...see pics....he politely pointed out that the way i had it installed upside down to the one at the hagon display......bugger........a bit embarrased i thought i would have to take everything off again and refit......this thing came with no instuctions to fit but seemed straight forward to me and my decision on what way up it went was based on the fact that the way i did it gave easy access to the damper adjuster....the other way it would have been very hard to get to...anyway just to check i sent away a pic of it installed on my bike and the pic taken at the bike show in england.......got a phone call tonight from the big wig at hagon who informed me i had it right and the one at the show was assembled wrong.......phew........just as well i checked and didnt go trying to change it eh........

    What's the damper like? What are the main benefits over standard? Well done on the install looks great!

    The way you did it is normal - less unsprung mass with damper body at top.
    Cheers
