12 stone 9lb Billy. As mentioned to Hagon several times but they said my weight is not really imprtant as it's such a heavy bike.

I was over 34st when they did my custom Nitro's, which are a little harsh now for my 15st 7lbs :?

Strange, mine have 12 rebound damping settings. max damping should reduce the pogo effect.. BUT I did feel that sort of kick back off a bump when the shocks were brand new, however it dissapears as the shocks bed in. 
They also work best when you chuck it in hard & blast out of the corner hard on the throttle

I guess mine have 11 (the central, zero position plus 5 either side. At least that's what I counted but maybe you are right and there are 6 either side - I'll check it out again. I'll try them for a week or so and see if they bed in. But if you check out the Hagon-shocks site the heaviest duty Nitros are non-progressives and either have 30kg or 35kg springs. Can't help thinking that if they had put the 30kg ones on for me, I wouldn't have to have everything dialled into the minimum .... I'd love to be able to talk to an engineer at Hagons but each time I call I can't get past the sales department.blastedbones said:Strange, mine have 12 rebound damping settings. max damping should reduce the pogo effect..

I think I will order Progressive Suspension. I heard of lot of positives about the Hagons but I found a Harley dealer that will get the Progressives in for me in about 4-5 days and at a good price.
The only way I could get the Hagons was by mail order and the price was a fair bit more than Progressive.

Progressives are a good spring, but make sure you get the HD ones!
