I went with the cheapest set of Progressive and heavy duty springs set up by Z1 Enterprise,
I think they may have been $250.00 U.S.
I have 5 years and around 50,000 miles on them now and they still work fine.
I upgraded the original fork springs after 60,000 miles with new progressive springs and could really feel the difference, less spongy.

3.
7614-1429 Shock Absorber

The most expensive to $600.00, will help me on a race track ? or will I fill differences under normal drive on the road also?

What is best of Hagon and Ikon ?
The Ikon is mush more expensive and both say they will fit correct spring to my weight.
Ikon is much more expensive as I understand it from the offers I have received.
Will Ikon peform better?

I put a set of Hagon shocks on my KZ650-C1 11 years (15,000 miles) ago. They still look great and work great. Prior to those I had a set of S&W shocks that were also outstanding. The Hagons work better than the S&W shocks. Dave Quinn set the shocks up for me taking into account my weight, riding style, etc. I really like them a lot! Hagon makes a wide variety of styles at different prices. Here's the link:
