Speak with Maxtons, probably your best option, as they can manufacture parts if needed - spares for the standard shocks have been rare for a number of years now

Have a look at this thread too
Might help
You don't say what's wrong but it they are leaking from the adjusters you can strip them and rebuild them yourself .

are Hagon shocks any good just found a pair which fit the bike new pair £165 or them Chinese shocks which seem a bit on the cheap side value somebodies opinion

Hagon's are good shocks hagon nitro's are even better on the gsx1400.
I wouldn't go for cheap Chinese suspension units as they don't get good reports on any bike or seam to last very long either.
Good luck with your search
:cheers:

If they are Hagon Nitro's then £165 a good price, if they are not then they are expensive for what they are. As
@seth says, Hagon Nitro's are a good option (and if you need to check length, standard length of shocks are 330mm)

Nitros are £379 - likely these are basic with limited adjustment :)
