Moderator Airhead Posted May 4, 2010 Moderator Posted May 4, 2010 Hi mits, thought you had sold it I wouldnt pay that much either WTF is P reg?, a year would have been better but http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Yamaha/XVS_650_A_Drag_star_Classic/98-07/picture/Monoshock_-_Hagon/ http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Yamaha/XVS_650_Drag_star/97-04/picture/Monoshock_-_Hagon/
Ttaskmaster Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Hagon shocks are THE best, especially for a 650 Drag I think their own website offers free delivery, too....
mits007 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Posted May 6, 2010 Hello all - Looking on the Hagon website, http://www.hagon-shocks.co.uk/HagApps8.htm they have great pleasure in quotng me £295 :-( There are 2 part numbers for the XVS.. I presume mine will be M62038?.. P regd bike = Sept 1996 to August 1997 regards, -Mits-

Moderator Cynic Posted May 6, 2010 Moderator Posted May 6, 2010 This any good to you? Basic jobbie's but yours would be somewhere between 99 and 180 quid. (You need to contact them for a quote) According to the Hagon website your bike shares its shock with the 91on 600 divvy. Betor shocks
Moderator Airhead Posted May 6, 2010 Moderator Posted May 6, 2010 Your lucky day mits? Sixty quid BIN
mits007 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Posted May 6, 2010 hmmmmmmmmmm... sorry, but please could you explain 600 divvy?... is that a diversion?.. (XJ?) so you reckon I could get a new diversion rear monoshock and it would fit the bill?... Regards, -Mits- This any good to you? Basic jobbie's but yours would be somewhere between 99 and 180 quid.

Regards, -Mits- Thays what 'Cynic' is saying, check it out on the Hagon site for yourself, 91 onwards 600 diversion.
mits007 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Posted May 6, 2010 I have asked for a quote from Hagon, and its 295 inc. VAT & delivery Is it worth getting the one from EBAY do you reckon?.... I suppose in the meantime, I could get the opne off my bike rebuilt?.. hmmm there is this guy who has a diversion at work.... heh heh heh!... Thays what 'Cynic' is saying, check it out on the Hagon site for yourself, 91 onwards 600 diversion.
Moderator Airhead Posted May 6, 2010 Moderator Posted May 6, 2010 Is it worth getting the one from EBAY do you reckon?.... I would consider it, but first make sure its for your bike, make sure the seller will accept returns, and ask if it is in full working order, old is not necesarily bad. My DT has 38000 miles on a 1979 shocker Dont make em like they used too!
mits007 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Posted May 8, 2010 Hi all, well this shocker on Ebay, has a returns policy and is of a yam dragstar classic... (Mine being the custom) Doing some digging around, it appears it will fit, can any of you experts give me a nice warm confirming nod?!?.. regards, -Mits-

Reason i ask is if they only want say 100 quid for a new one the second hand one may not be such a bargain.
mits007 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Posted May 8, 2010 Cynic: Have asked for a price mate, just waiting for them to get back to me... I just dont want the one on ebay to go!... decisions decisions!...
mits007 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Posted May 17, 2010 They never got back to me - left nuuuumerous messages and emails!... In the end, got the one from Ebay. Bikes on the road! woohoo!....
