    Im a daily rider here in Florida US, and I drive my bikes daily, and my truck so little the battery needs recharging montly an lucky if i get on e year out of it.
    I NEED ADVICE:
    ok, need shocks help, there's just too much info to sort out. im gonna buy TEC ( in the US), i am 6 foot tall , and 225 lbs(102kg),do i get these :
    TEC Alloy Remote Reservoir Shocks for Triumph Bonneville and T100 for 149$,
    or these:

    Hi and welcome Brian.
    I think I have your option 2 fitted to my Street twin but as yet haven't ridden it so can't provide much info. One thing I do note is the lower mount appears adjustable for ride height so if you prefer a higher or lower seat height (dependent on leg length I suppose) then this can be accommodated to a point of course.

    Some compensation for geometry may possibly be needed if using the extremes though.
