Save my spine

After the first ride this year I now realise my shocks are as much use as a bicycle to a fish! They are the standard rebuild one that RWHS use.
So whats recommended for a pleasant experience from UK suppliers (preferably not Hagon as I found them quite arrogant during a previous build).

Contact Motorcycle Revival, there's a bloke called Simon who is very knowledgeable. Ive used them a couple of times and would do so again. Their website is primitive and not up to date but don't let that put you off, just get the email address off of it and message him.

If you say I want a shock that looks like blah blah to fit a whatever bike for roughly £??? price he'll probably offer you two or three options.

I don't go a lot on hagon personally. Helpful but their products are a bit crude in my experience. There's much better stuff out there for sensible money.

Olly

Maxton do a range of twin shocks which would be suitable, T260 range.
Guessing they won't be the cheapest out there, but they would be custom built for your bike, they would look good & not out of place & more importantly, work & work well, https://www.maxtonsuspension.co.uk/files/t260-c.htm
All you would need to supply is some measurements such as length, mounting hole diameters, bike weight & rider weight, etc. The lower diameter of the shockers would have to be considered too so save having to cut out the chain guard for clearance.
Alot really depends upon how original looking you want to keep your bike.
