I have a 95 Tbird to which I have fitted Hagon front springs and a Harrison Billet 6 front brake,both of which are big improvements.The rear suspension is next so any ideas ?
The bike is a bit wiggly in sweepy high speed bends and I was thinking of a new Hagon rear suspension unit,which is about £250 UK plus fitting.Has anybody done this upgrade and was it worthwhile ? The Tbird is a second bike and I can live with the 'exciting' handling and use my Daytona Centennial when in the mood.Then again I do enjoy the old bike and dpending money on it is always a pleasure (I don't tell the wife).

IMO any other shock is an improvement over the stock one. I fitted a stock TBS one and it transformed the bike.

I have one that has about 6000 miles but now I have to think about selling it.
