America Tec Gas Shocks

Not an America but a T100 Bonny. I thought they were great, for the money.

 

I have a pair on my 2006 Scrambler. They are a good addition, although the main reason for the swap from stock was to lower the bike to fit my short legs! I would do it again.

 

I would rather fit Hagon (British) than Tec (Chinese) heard of Tec breaking from somewhere

 

Did one actually snap, or did it come undone ? I know when I fitted mine (with the extension piece) you had to make sure both parts were tightened sufficiently to avoid the half connected to the rod piston turning and eventually coming undone.

 

Hiya, I fitted a pair of tec shocks to my 2006 Bonnie, they were terrible, so bouncy, no damping and the rubber bush/ sleeve fitment was not up to standard. I sent them back, got a refund and bought some excellent adjustable gas shocks from " Burton Bike Bits " and received them the next day

I can't fault Tec shocks. So much better than stock on my old Street Twin, and at a bargain price. Jason can be rebuilt, but come with a higher price.

 

Well the " tec shocks" that were sold to me were just dangerous and made the bike unridable, I won't be buying any other tec products, it's " Burton bike bits " for me from now on

 

Fitted them to my Bonnie just before the Scottish tour ,inside the first day one of them had lost all of its gas left the bike totally unrideable l had to leave the group and limp home to change back to the stock suspension ( really need to send them back)not much of a bargain if they don’t work.

 

That is more or less what my tec shocks were like, total crap and they still sell them

 

The roads in staffordshire moorlands are bad enough to ride on with the best rear shockers fitted, all bikers should stick together and make a stand against the state of our roads, there's so many pot holes and low grids to avoid its unreal.
we are fast becoming a 3rd world country,

 

Agree, avoid anything made by TEC unless you want to get the Dremel out to make it fit.
Buy Hagon, they will build them to your weight. A very good company to deal with for tech support........ Unlike TEC

 

Totally agree, can't go wrong with Hagon shocks, maybe a little more money though if your on a tight budget

 

I only have bonneville T100's but understood they were the same as America, well that's what tec told me anyway !!!

 

Nothing more needs to be said after observing dozers dad's last statement on the Tec aftermarket products.
Time would be better spent trying to get the local council's to mend the pot holes and raising the horrid steel man hole covers to the level of the road surface, what is the point in resurfacing the roads without raising the covers first

 

It was mine that collapsed and fell apart actually on a ride. (Pictures on here many posts again) TEC. Replaced one shocker but all they are fit for is the bin as they just don’t work. Mine are adjusted up to the max and still bottom out and gives a harsh ride send horrible shocks up my spine
