550 YSS rear shocks
DomP:
That was my thinking Murf, been out and measured mine which is the same 19mm bush but clevis has a 21mm gap so being stainless is too much to clamp up squarely. I've been in conversation with Hagon today so will see what they decide, for moderately expensive shocks built to my spec I think its a bit poor that even after being returned they've come back wrong.
Murf:
Yes it definitely looks like they are making it up as they go along.
Definitely too big a gap to just clamp it up, also if you are using original bolts they are only just the right length for the original shock with its 19 mm fork opening.
DomP:
I've had a reply from Hagon, I'm not sure what to make of it.
Hi Dominic.
I have had the production team get back to me and the outcome is not what I wanted to hear.
They have been checking the stock of the components used in the assembly and the lower fork is a prefabricated part which we order and are manufactured in the UK.
We have more than a thousand pieces all measuring the same dimension of the lower fork we have supplied on your unit.
These are ordered long in advance and take over six months before we take delivery, so a quick replacement is not an option for us.
I fully understand your frustration, but all I can offer as an immediate option is the manufacture of a suitable spacer/spacers, or a full refund of the units.
I know this is obviously a disappointment but the only immediate solutions I can offer.
Bryanj:
Sounds to me like they have bad qc on parts in, but at least they have offered a solution for you.
Personaly i would put a shim either side of the bush, might be a bugger to fit but would keep everything central
DomP:
I'm quite surprised at their response. I will do Bryan, I thought they may offer a partial refund to keep me happy but shims it is😀
