TEC Rear Shocks
AshimotoK0:
Anyone have experience of TEC shocks sold by a guy in the NE ?

I saw some in the flesh at Stafford quite a few years ago for a CB250K and they looked a bit ropey in the chroming department but Trigger showed me some CB500/4 ones a year or so back (not sure of the origin of his) and they looked spot on.
I need them for a bike I am moving on so not worried about originality other than they are the same style as OEM (ie chromed not black)
Bryanj:
I think i got a set for a 500 from him and they look OK, not fitted yet so no comments on handling
Laverda Dave:
I've bought two pairs over the past 2 years for the 400/4 and the CB250RSA. I first looked at them from the guy that sells them in the south of England, he's a TEC rep. They looked OK although some of the chrome on the springs is as you say, a bit ropey but not on all of them and the shock body is fine. I order a set from TEC themselves and the set sent were fine. The set I bought for the RSA I bought from Kempton, the chrome wasn't good on the springs on the first set offered and I rummaged through the others and found a really nice set.
To be fair to TEC they do provide excellent after sales and are very helpful if you call them. The shocks are Australian made apparently to a Koni design? For me they are a bargain, they work well and are not the usual ugly looking poor quality Chinese pogo sticks.

I get all mine from George at TEC in the NE ;)
MrDavo:
Got a pair on my 750, the attachment of the top mounting eye isn't quite right but noone other than me has noticed. The chrome is good.
Can't fault the hadling though, and I do try hard to upset it. :)
