TEC Bike Parts Reviews 177

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.

Wonderful service, Great communication
VERY easy to deal with
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.

Have now had a few items from tec in the last few weeks bought for a cafe racer triumph project . So far very impressed . And the guys at tec are always happy to help out with advice. Just great old fashion service.

Very nice parts! Cheaper than all the other aftermarket shops!

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.

Shocks are beautifully made and make the bike handle well. Really impressed with the value for money.

Rapid delivery and easy to fit. But most importantly, help when needed in selecting the right parts. Not expensive but don't feel cheap.

I have purchased two items from TEC Bike Parts for my Triumph Street Twin, a rear luggage rack and a centre stand . They both arrived very quickly and were easy to fit. Both parts were considerably cheaper than the Triumph parts and of comparable quality. I would recommend this company if you require parts for your Triumph motor cycle.

Fabulous company.
Top marks on customer service.
Happy to answer all your questions, and continue this great service when your ready to buy.

Shipping was reasonable, and fast! Tracking was provided.

I bought the Street Twin Centre Stand from Tec Bike Parts, and it was a breeze to fit. So easy to maintain the chain and clean my bike. Wish I had bought this earlier. Much cheaper than OEM, but excellent quality and for me it looks fantastic.

Will be buying from Tec again.
Great business, and clearly as passionate about bikes as I am.

I purchased several parts from TEC over the years - each time with perfect support from george, fast delivery and good quality products

Great service, good value and quality. Will use again.

good products , fair prices, sound knowledgeable advice and above all made in the uk.
