Found a picture of an America with them fitted Fair comment but to be honest I have panniers fitted so you’d be hard pushed to notice. Also saw an image of them fitted to an America and actually thought they looked nice ... with the added benefit of no pogo effect whilst riding !
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.
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.
Appreciate all the feedback and now not so sure about the TEC units. Has anyone fitted Hagen 2810’s to their America ? Also wondered about fitting slightly longer shocks to raise it and hopefully improve ground clearance on cornering as forever getting that horrible grinding sound when the plates touch down.
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.
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
