    I have just purchased a set of TEC shockers and have a quick question. They come with adaptors to lengthen them another inch, do I fit these or keep them the standard length?

    I put the extensions on my Bonnie, gave it a better line I to look at, no probs with handling, took a while setting damping up, solo,2 up, and fully loaded but well worth it.

    Hi, Ive always had sports bikes until i bought a Bonneville and i must say it puts a smile on my face with how much fun they are to ride.. coming from sports bikes and using K-Tech suspension which has been great i then had them fit there new fully adjustable Tracker cartridge kits and there Razor piggy back shocks and it has transformed the bike and even more fun to ride. and its a UK company :)

    wound preload down from the top 10mm, left out the spacers, made centre of the eye 342mm and is a very good starting point for me. I weigh in at 92kgm and mainly ride solo, K- Tech suspension seems pretty good but will evaluate better when I get it over to the maltese/scicilian/Italian roads

    I have TEC bike parts gas reservoir shocks on the rear of my T100. I included the extensions as I wanted to raise the seat to ground height and increase the steering angle slightly.

    Worked like a charm, for only £90 iirc.
