I replaced the original shocks with a smaller set I bought at Barber last year. I immediately hated them. The backend was squirly and handling was way different. I knew I needed better.
I've used the Hagons on a CB450 project and loved them, customer service is great. As a matter of fact, they said if I didn't like the amount of spring... they'd swap out the swings with beefier ones no charge. Who does that anymore?
So today was my first time to ride the /5 with the Hagons and it is perfect! It even helps to keep the front end from diving as much when braking. So important to have with this much weight. You won't be disappointed if you buy a set.
