I'm thinking of replacing the shock absorbers on '81 My XJ550 as the 'Hagon' shock absorbers that I fitted 14 year ago in 1991 are now locking very rusty. In fact the Hagon ones started to have the chrome peal off the springs after just to years of winter riding so this time I decided to look at alternatives.

The ones I've looked at (remember I run to run this bike as a cheap 'Jalopy/hack/rat' ) are called SHOX and SHOKA which I think are the same firm/design.

They are available in Black, Chrome or a Combination of Black & Chrome (which is simlar to my Hagon made ones)

SHOX:

All advice greatly received

Thanks.
