    I guess the front spring kit will be okay, but how it compares with others I know not.:confused:
    I would not be inclined to just shove a new spring on the rear shocker. Is the rear shocker any good? Is it old and well worn (like me!), new (like I once was!) or just plain bouncy and incontinent (no comment!).:p It may be in need of a complete rebuild (feck off!!!! I can't help it!):eek: which means no amount of new springs will help.:( Most aftermarket shocks these days are rebuildable. Hagon did mine with a heavier duty spring after several years of service the same day that they received it. Easy company to deal with and efficient.:)

    Ah yes that's very true, didn't think of that, thanks, I may contact Hagon and see how much to do mine.

    Cheers

    Nice Trident.
    couple of points
    rear shock, YSS is much better than hagon for about the same money. Money no object get Maxton.
    Rear cowl. you ill need rear bodywork for a Daytona/Speed . it won' fit on trident bodywork.
    If you are concerned about sprag or any thing else go on a Clive Wood t3 master class.

    I did notice YSS on ebay and wondered if they were any good. Ah okay, I have got a seat with the mounting points built in, I take it that isn't enough?

    Thanks

    one thing with YSS they are adjustable length as well.
    Re seat the Daytona bodywork has a piece of rubber that is removed when the cowl is used
