Modern Vespa

Tomorrow i will recieve a test set of Hagon shocks with 14kg spring installed

This winter Hagon UK will try to develope shocks for the front for the mp3

Thanks for the update. Do you know how much these will cost?

Can't wait to see them.

well here they are

The shocks in your picture look like Rear Shocks.
I did not read you first post correctly.
I was anxious to see the ones for the Front I thought you were receiving.
I will post a recap of my solution for the Rear which has proven to work out very well.

Thanks,
Keith

Here is my solution for the Rear...
This will fit all of the MP3's in the US currently, unless the Gilera is different?

Drops the Bike about 2".
Picture shows Stock MP3 Shock, and the Hagon Shock in Chrome.
Also when you lower, the top 2 Screws on the MP3/500 Sport Air Filter need to be removed. It will be hard to get to them once you change the shocks.


Information for Purchase in the US.

The information on the Shock if you want to Contact Billy and order some.
Phone: 760.308.8124

Parts Info:
Road Shock 360S SS16234C SR Pair (360MM Length, Larger MM available)
10x24MM Bonded Bushing
8 x 3MM Spacers (Required to fit properly for 30MM width.)

The price is $219.00 plus the Spacers from Billy.

I really like the lowered look. How does it feel any different?

Are your Hagan's running a harder rear spring? I feel as though the MP3 could use a little more damping in the rear, as through corners with small undulations in the road, the back end feels a little squirmy and not 100% confidence inspiring...sometimes. Not like this is a serious problem, as the German's keep their roads well maintained unlike in the states. I know this is not a sport bikeby any means, but it does a pretty good job attacking corners. Although the center-stand gets in the way on hard left handers. Right handers got better with the new LV GT and no muffler guard to drag.

the stock springs ar 7kilo hagon comes with 14kg

I can't tell accept I can put my feet down and have a better warm-n-fuzzy when I stop. I have the Piaggio Gel Seat which help a little.

Interested to know how have you found them.

he sells them

Yes i know , but as they are a TEST PAIR and hagons can alter the internal damping setup ,i'm interested to see how he found them performance wise over the ones he currently sells, before i ask hagons about them as i live in the uk.

Well they are 1cm to short and wont fit will hit the mounting

waiting on other ones

I do have to wonder about hagons sometimes. I was at the classic show at stafford UK in Oct and asked about the availability of shocks for the fuoco .There still working on them was the answer!

they still are also for the front

Maksor, do you know if the Hagon trial shocks are designed to lower the ride height like the ones sourced in the US by Klaborde?

no 40cm ar same as stock if you want to lower i can supply 38, 36 or 34 cm shocks
