Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Sorry I didn't see your more recent posts. I've heard good things about Hagon shocks so you should be fine. You may not even need new dogbones once you set it up. Probably your bike has ass-sag just like mine does, after 15 years or so of just wearing out.

Welcome to the forum. I want to go to Spain one day, my wife has been to Mallorca twice (Majorca)... VERY nice.
Make sure you post pictures of your progress. You can upload to the GALLERY here.

Hi,
For another source of aftermarket shocks try YSS suspension they have outlets in europe , thailand , usa, australia..
The latter place is Greg Fairthorne @ ASR Suspension (http://www.asr.com.au ) Just got my YSS PD Valves from him, paid last friday by credit card and they are here today not bad for going for one side of the planet to the other :banana:

I would look for an Ohlins on e-bay..I got one for my 90 1000 for $20 US, and sent it out to Ohlins USA and they went tru it for a little over $100..Try to get on with a spring for someone 20 -30 lighter than you cause those # are for track set-up and would be to stiff for the street.....Also I know a guy that makes shorter dog-bones (raises rear) for around $35 US deliverd.....
