Title: Anyone recognise the brand ?
Post by: McCabe-Thiele (Ted) on October 25, 2020, 10:14:49 PM
My bike came with a pair of new shock absorbers already fitted - clearly not the original ones (old rusty ones came in a box)  they will do for now - there are odd mounting bolts fitted top and bottom with the top mounts being clearly having rubber bushes that are both different with extra rubber washers on one side - they look as though they have been a bit of a bodge fit.

I'm going to have to fit some new top bushes so they at least match. Does anyone recognise the brand as I can't see a makers stamp jumping out at me. I'm hoping I can get some aftermarket Poly Bushes or something similar so they fit correctly(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50530316501_eddaf6e980_o.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2jZc5Dt)Rear Damper (https://flic.kr/p/2jZc5Dt) by Macabe Thiele (https://www.flickr.com/photos/187487200@N03/), on Flickr if I cant identify them.

Could be TEC.

I agree, they look like TEC - they have a good reputation. I've had a set on my 750k2 for about 5 years now (only about 4000 miles) and the damping is just starting to fade. I've just fitted a set to my 500K2 build and they came with large steel spacer washers that go behind and in front of the shank of the top frame mount

Is there some sort of TM on their dampers ?
