    Tec Bike Parts - Rear Shock Quality?

    I've recently noticed that Dime City Cycles and eBay are both carrying these Tec Bike Parts shocks. They look to be a less expensive version of an Ohlins like piggy pack style. Has anyone ever used them? Good/Bad reviews? Price is very tempting, but I'm almost 100% sure that this is a "get what...

    Mufflers to go with Pandemonium?

    Was able to do a little "horse trading" with someone regarding my half mile Omar Pipes. I traded them for the Yo Mama pipes from Pandemonium. I won't run straight pipes without mufflers however.

    So glad to find this forum! I scored a '78 SE from a local seller. I've wanted one for a while and am looking forward to learning the bike inside and out. Can anyone tell me anything specific to look out for in these SE models? I couldn't find much difference other than the stock bars and...

    Where's the swing arm video?

    I have just about tripped over this rather long detailed video with a guy extending the swing arm. Now I can't seem to find it. Anyone got a link? It had him doing a 3" extension. Just in his home garage, and he starts by disconnecting the arm and sliding it back to where he wanted it. The...
