Here is the information I got back from the US Hagon distributor:

We've heard from Hagons regarding the shock for your bike, and they cannot supply an uprated shock for the bike. The spring is too heavy on the stock unit and a heavier spring will coil bind under load. They recommend a maximum load on the stock shock of 350 lbs- loading above that figure will risk failure of the shock.
So: given the loading you've supplied we can't recommend the Hagon unit if you plan on two up riding at all.
You did say that 95% of your riding is solo- the shock will be fine for you solo and with your 50 lbs of luggage.

Is this a real concern, or is it lawyerspeak? What happens if the shock "fails". I assume that means the seals go and the fluid comes out. Is there something worse that can happen?
What say all of you Hagon fans?
