I just bought a Bitubo for my hybrid GPZ1100, I have no complaints, it does require some more setting up but the quality appears excellent and the ride is good (because my bike is a lot lighter I might need a softer spring). So far I'm happy with my buy, my previous Hagon only lasted 13mths (out of warranty, blown seal) and I could never really set it up to suit me so instead of putting money in for repairs I bought the Bitubo.
First Permanent ride the Z1R since Dec1977 (220,000km) as of June 2015
Second permanent bike 1989 FJ1200 dyno'd 140RWH, great bike.
Third ride is now the Frankenstein 1981 GPZ1100B1, 1983 fully recon motor fitted LOVE THIS BIKE
Forth my work bike FJ1200 1989 (same type as FJ above)

I was looking at Taxxion suspensions for rear shock replacement for my KZ900 project, and they sell them. They also state that when ordered from them that the shocks are set up to the rider weight and riding needs. Traxxion has a good reputation but I don't know anything about Bitubo. Shocks are said to be comparable to Ohlins only less expensive ( sales talk ). May give a set a try.
