I have a Hagon for the 2005 I'll part with. It's 30mm shorter and has the remote preload. Being somewhat inseam challenged I decided to drop the seat height. Loved the shock but decided I was happier with the higher seat height so I'm back running the stock shock. PM or email me. $275 or ...

Just curious, what didn't you like about the lower height ? I'm  5'9" and have considered lowering my 05, I haven't messed with it because I like the ride so much the way it is.



At stops I  keep my rt ft on the brake and lean a little , I am able to flat foot my left foot. I am careful not to stop on a crown. I haven't dropped it yet but it's probably a matter of time.

Just a question like that. You can't have it modified? I always think that they change the end to fit different bike and height

Hmmm. Responding to the second response first. I hadn't thought about that. I'll have to check...



On what I didn't like on the lowered bike. To me the higher height feels more balanced. That said with the shorter shock I used the entire rear tread width and found the hero bob's more than once... And that's why I'll never be a top notch racer when the crew chief asks what's wrong and I say doesn't feel right...    :?

Well, modification is not a cost effective option... This is a great shock and at half price...
