Currently available shock absorbers?
Bryanj:
If you want to adjust damping Ikons are the best but cost as well

Took the 400F out yesterday after a 5 month layup - started/ran perfectly! :) BUT (there always seems to be a "but...") I now find the rear shocks to be less than I'd like. I replaced the old shocks last year with a pair from DSS which fit perfectly and look original however I'd like a pair with improved capability - some adjustment other than the spring tension would be nice.
Any thoughts for something better than the DSS?

Got Ikon on my CB750F1.
Fully adjustable spring pre-load and damping.
Transformed the handling.

I am finding the recently fitted DSS shocks a bit in the hard side for my bum compared to the old Hagon shocks that were there before. I need to make or find a C spanner to dial them down a bit and see where that ends up. I need comfort at my age! and I'm probably not going to be tearing about and grounding the foot pegs , or getting my foot trapped in the foot peg on my favorite corners any more.
Regards
Dave

My 400 had Hagons on it when I bought it and I don't recall it feeling excessively stiff. I replaced them with the DSS shocks because I wanted the stock look...I suppose I could put the Hagons back on and see how they feel... ;)

Remember you have to give new shocks a few hundred miles to bed in. They always appear to be very stiff at first.
