ST rear shocker ?

Post by Sibbo »

My '83 ST has been running an old Mazzochi Ducati rear shocker for the last few years but the nitrogen bladder has apparently blown ( according to the bloke at the shocker rebuild shop) and parts are not available . He's trying to work out another system but I think it may be time to buy another shocker.

MotoBins has the correct Hagon at 249 UK quid + postage , that's about $500 A in round figures .That's expensive but I suspect not as expensive as some.

Can anyone tell me about other options or sources , new or secondhand ?

Have you tried http://www.hagonoz.com.au/services in Australia? They are the local Hagon distributor for you.

I sure don't have any idea of their reputation or quality.
