oldboy:
What is the general consensus on the best rear shock to fit to a 500.

oldboy:
Forgot to add "reasonably priced" !!

Nurse Julie:
TEC Shocks. We have fitted about 10 (maybe more like 15 thinking about it) sets. I'll add the link in a minute.

SteveW:
They haven’t had any in stock for a while. I keep looking on their site for a pair for my 550.

Laverdaroo:
I contacted them to see when they were getting them in next and they said that the parts to make them were too expensive except in bulk so werent plannimg on making any more at all as its such a small market.
Shame as I had my heart set on  a pair.

Ended up with a pair of YSS ones that were £115 ish, cant remember. I would prefer the look of the TEC's but these will do. I  REALLy want a set of piggy back units but couldnt find any that were suitable at sensible money that didnt look crap with reasonable damping or looked great but had shite springs and rods. I've had YSS before and been quite surprised so I'm hoping for a fair result when I fit these.
