I have the Protech from Rich Presley, I believe the Chisel one is Protech and Chiggy's also look like one. Protech used to make the Taffy unit, but the new/current shock has a thicker rod.

I've got the Bitubo and it's been great. They have gone up in price quite a bit since I got it though.

Yes, it's not like I harbour any grudges against Hagon or VE. I must get my website builder to remove them from my site. Just a shame I can't remove them from my advert in Sticky's 2. It's all down to how they conduct business and nothing to do with the quality of the goods.
According to the dealers I supplied the returns were lower than other brands but I'd keep up regular maintainance and check the condition of the shocks on a regular basis.
In truth I had the original trial one on my scooter for 7 or 8 K with no issues, it's 315mm but have had to take it off last week when I fitted an ADS exhaust as its too long causing the exhaust to hit the J hook on the stand.
I'll help out if I can with any issues or returns but in truth it'll be simpler and faster to deal direct with Hagon.

Erm... I have a hagon that has always bounced like crazy, am I setting it wrong? Is there anything I should know about these shockers that I dont know? Any light on this?
