😂😂😂.
Just read your thread again about the TEC shocks. I bought a set for the RE Interceptor although not fitted yet.
Did you find them a bit harsh and stiff for the first few miles as reviews have said? Apparently the soften up pretty quickly and then you can dial them in. The remote type I've bought for the RE will certainly be an improvement on the originals!
PS - Don't forget to send me the bill for the TL toolbox 👍🙂

I’ve only just bobbed em on Dave, it states they’re hard to start in the meagre info that comes with them so I’m expecting that.
It won’t be turning a wheel for a while but I’ll let on what occurs when it does.

I’ll get round to it mate, keep forgetting
