I installed 12.5 440's and took a ride. I got about 3 blocks and had to stop I thought I had a flat. The ride was so soft and smooth. I took it on the highway and went real easy for a while till I got used to it. I can say what a difference. 61k on the old shocks what a mistake to wait so long..
 
I guess I'm the fat arse on here at 290 I got mine on 5 was afraid to set it lower lol and love the ride I found out if I lose 100 lb it will go faster at least thats what they say:rolleyes:
 
Once you try hagons you will never go back to progressives. Although anything is better than the stock junk.
O.

We have a few big boys on here:D 290lbs(nearly 21 stone) now depends how tall you are if you are 8'-4" some might consider you thin:D

I can vow to that!!!! When I rode my bike the first time after chemo and radiation last summer, (went from 240 to 168 in ~3 months) I couldn't understand why it seemed so **** much faster! You'd be surprised the difference it makes. You won't notice the difference unless you lose it all at once like I did (DO NOT RECOMMEND)!
 
Sent my six year old 11.5"440s away to get worked on(oil leak) and installed my 12.5" stock shocks and boy does the bike feel weird but weird in a good way, the main reason I down sized was that I did not like sitting on top of the bike the lower shocks have you sitting down in the bike plus my wee 30"inseam helped a bit:D kind of getting to like the new found height so I might keep the big boys on, but no way am I reinstalling the stock exhaust:eek: why Triumph had Stevie Wonder design that set up is beyond me.:D

Aw come on Dave, you don't want those "old" Maddogs anymore do you ? ;)
