i bought a pair of the TEC shocks (to suit 750zephyr) for my shed 7 project bike which has stalled in progress atm......they are cheap for a reason and the quality of finish is not great, possibly cheaper materials?

anyway, i bought an old katana not long ago as a runnaround and thought i'd give em a try on that, made my own lower shock mounts as it needed a fork type fitting and i wasnt over impressed with the 'alloy tie rod ends' that came with the shocks. i have to say that i'm really impressed with them, only done a few hundred miles so far but have a couple of mates also using them on bikes that are ridden regularly who feel the same way......doubt they'll last forever but as a budget alternative, why not :wink:
