TEC shocks

The shocks on my 550 are...shocking!  I've found TEC shocks on Ebay with piggyback reservoirs, has anyone used them and can  recommend that I order resprung for my miniature 10st 7lbs?

Johnwebley:
I have fitted a set of TEC standard  chrome shocks

For the price, they look good and  very similar to the original,

But, the spring is very soft, I need to set it on the hardest for a normal ride, no adjustment for a pillion  ,also after a reasonable time, the damping seems to vanish, I can feel them bottom out over bumps,

But, cosmeticly they look good
