TEC Bike Parts Reviews 177

Just fitted tec progressive springs and adjustable rear gas shocks on my newchurch bonneville what a difference easy to follow instructions a great ride just one note make sure you clean all the paint off frame bosses as the gas shocks are a very snug fit

Installed fork springs and adjustable rear shocks.
After 140 miles im convinced it was money well spent. My Bonnie SE handles way better. Tec bike customer service is good also.

Purchased the DNA filter and plate and the TEC bash plate for my Interceptor. Easy and fast post to Australia. Easy to install air filter and followed the YouTube video on bash plate fitment relatively easy. Good products hope to do more business in the future.

Just bought & installed rear gas shock on my Thruxton converted into street tracker a couple weeks ago. Riding style pretty different on cornering & bumpy road. Looks & feel good so far. And also the service very good starting with email discussion to package order and mailed just took a few days to come even though the adjustable spanner left behind was just told to Mat, then it come another posted later days.

I've bought several items from TEC and am totally happy. Many more on my purchase list. All parts are very well engineered, of OEM quality and at nowhere near OEM prices. Service is great. Delivery time is quick. No hassle with anything. As someone pointed out here - dealing with them is like dealing with a mate. Very helpful and happy to suggest. Emailing them in the middle of the night, I expected an answer next day at best. Wrong. I got it almost instantaneously. Some reviews here criticise the lack of instructions. Not quite so - most parts come with them. If not, refer to their excellent Youtube videos. And come on - if you ride a bike you should be able to handle basic spanner work anyway. (Part of the fun!)

I recently bought a Monza fuel cap for my Street Cup - Great quality, easy to fit. Service and communication was first class and the price (including delivery to Australia) was very reasonable. Keep up the good work guys!

Bought a TEC Exhaust for my Yamaha Traver 700, after contacting them to make sure the exhaust will fit. Ordered and received very quickly by courier. Nicely boxed, and on opening, I was impressed by the quality of main pipes and can finish for the money (it's quite a cheap system compared to others out there)

Unfortunately, I gave this review 2 fewer stars as there were no Fixing instructions, nor anything to direct me to Installation videos on Youtube (I later found that out after asking someone on the Tracer 700 owners group for fitting advise!)

Unfortunately again, the video was made using a standard MT-07, not a Tracer. Although many of the parts on both bikes are the same, some are slightly different... This makes fitting a game of trial and error, and frustration... all of which could be avoided by popping a simple 'Install guide' in the box - directing customers to the videos on YouTube?

I could not get the pipe to fit without it touching the swing arm in static position ... only after contacting Tec and getting a reply the next day late afternoon was I told that the fixing bracket is slightly different to that shown in the vid, and I also shouldn't use the spacer. I had worked that out myself the night before, but that also meant a trip to Halfords to get a shorter bolt that had a thread to the head (should have been included if they knew no spacer was needed as the bolt supplied does noes not have thread where the spacer was intended to fit)

It was a real fiddle to fit and I still had to forcibly pull the slip on end can away from the swing arm a lot, which has now left an uneven gap where the pipe and end-can join. This again could be avoided if the weld angles were adjusted.

It's on now and I still have to occasionally pull the end can away from the swing arm as it naturally wants to go back to that position. Not great.

Shame. It sounds great and the finish seems good. These small details could be addressed and it would be a cracking little pipe and a doddle to fit.

😕

One of the reasons I bought this product from Tec was the quality of the instructional video on their YouTube channel. This gave me confidence in the company which I am pleased to say was not misplaced, it's like dealing with a mate. The finish of the silencers is good and matches up well with the finish on the standard downpipes. And the improvement in the exhaust note is brilliant. I'll certainly be buying more parts from George in the future.

Brilliant stuff. I've just got myself a Triumph Thruxton. Spent quite a bit of money with them. First class service. Fast postage. If you have a air/oil cooled Triumph like me you need to have a look. The rear axle bobbins are a fantastic idea. Rear shocks are quality too.
YouTube install videos on the website to. Biggest problem I've had is getting a tidy set of indicators for the tail tidy.
They were even able to send me replacement rear shock bushes and sleeves for £3.00.& £3.65 postage

The rear sets are in my opinion a starting point for a perfect riding position but be aware that you will have to buy a longer piece of flexible brake hose and have to bleed the brakes in order to mount the reservoir in its original position and be able to replace the side cover. Also its just my opinion and your particular riding style could suit the set up out of the box but for me the distance between the footrests and the lever ends are too short and on both sides need to be extended. (the Bonneville is not a "short shift" kind of bike)... On the gear shift side there is no room for preload to be applied as the gear shift lever end is too close to the middle of your foot for comfortable control and on the brake side there is not enough leverage for fine control. Extending both sides is quite simple by shaping a piece of steel to suit the shape drill three holes and a few assorted bolts and your good to go. The video instructions shown on the website are just a very basic overview of what is a starting point for a great riding position. Tec have produced a fantastic piece of kit here but you will have to mess around with it to make it work well. Any adjustments should you need to make them are well worth the effort and I would highly recommend this product. P.S Buy them from eBay because if you buy from their own site they charge you extra for delivery.

Purchased several item from TEC, all excellent quality at a fraction of Triumph and other aftermarket suppliers. Latest purchase, Street Twin fork upgrade kit, unbelievable, transformed the bike. Combined with the rear shocks gives a magic carpet ride and no more tracking on grooved surfaces.

J'ai installé le TEC système d'echappement sur mon Tracer 700 et je suis bluffé par le son, reprise moteur etc.

Moins de 300 euros pour le système en inox avec le chicane demontable - c'est une affaire !!!!

I know I will again !
purchased the solid brass billet fuel / gas cap for my much loved "Triumph Bonneville" 2014 model {black model}, so over the moon happy to find a company overseas (I'm in Australia) that was easy to communicate with, honest, with great products.
AAAAA+++++ fully recommend TEC bike parts.

After much research, I finally found a set of adjustable folding rear sets that would suit my café racer build. The Tec rear sets were of excellent quality and the removable mounting bolt gave the interchangeability I was after. A quick bolt measurement and a quick grind of the hex head to make the bolt recess in the mount they were attached adjusted and were good to go. being a 10mm mount this gave a sturdy platform to stand on confidently when a leg stretch was required on the longer jaunts.
