    TEC shocks - anyone try them?

    Caught this vid on youtube.

    Been looking forward to this upgrade, and with all the exhaust work finished its time to move onto the suspension, the Scrambler is pretty over sprung, and w...


    Has anyone tried these on a GS? They have a US branch and they told me they will fit an 850. $129 plus shipping from CA.

    I bought some, can't tell you if the "shock" is any ,good because they are sprung so hard that I don't compress the spring. I weigh 300Lbs, and that is at the lowest setting.

    “Remember When in doubt use full throttle, It may not improve the situation ,but it will end the suspense ,
    If it isn't going to make it faster or safer it isn't worth doing

      Have a cousin who lives in Crawley, England. Pilot with British Airways. Rides a 2011 Bonneville. Installed TEC shocks last summer.....same model as shown in the video and he loves em. Saw him 6 months ago....weighs about 14 stone........200 pounds.

      The video, Jsandidge, clearly shows that with the one shock installed..easy to compress to the bump stop.

      Thanks for the link.....looks great.
      I think I'll try them. I contacted the guy in the video. He says that while it is true that they are stiffer than stock, he really likes them. The damping is better, and can really feel the road better in the twisties.
