Any body use these shocks ?
I know they are not a set of ohlins but the twin shock scene on eBay etc seems a bit scarce and saw these might be good value for money .

Are those like the ones Ted has had on his shed for a while - he seems pleased with them. If so I know a few on here have bought them I don't know how many have tried them yet.

not meaning to cause a stir here but views are only of use if based on experience, Ted says he's happy based on trying them on his shed, what is z1b's experience here

You get what you pay for - fitted a set of Tec Shocks to my Mark 2 & they were C..P! - not enough damping / bounched like a pogo stick.
Bit the bullet & purchased a set of IKON shocks from Norman Hyde & they are superb.

not necessarily gary, isn't it more likely down to the individual
different people have different ideas of what a good set up is
different weights
, riding style etc
