Hi, just fitted some Hagon fork springs to my 350LC, and filled the legs with 10w fork oil to 195mm below the top of the stanchion.
Forks are now very stiff and only move circa 50mm.
I have not ridden the bike but I thought they would have had a bit more movement?
Can anyone who has Hagon springs fitted tell me if this sounds OK?
Cheers

Cheers Air gap should be 140mm measured with stanchion fully compressed without spring fitted. www.hagon-shocks.co.uk/catalog/partdetail.aspx?partno=400-183-04OEB |

Cheers will try that and see if it gets any more movement.
Note - saw the 140mm air gap statement on the box but it did not say without spring and stanchion compressed.
Thanks
