I am debating on whether to have TCS convert my rear shock, or to just drop the cash and buy new. Funny thing though....I dont have the cash. Somebody tell me what a I wanna hear, lol. Thanks

have tcs do the conversion. you won't believe the difference.i have a tecate 4 and nobody and i mean nobody builds a zero preload rear shock for it and i had to have a no preload conversion done to it and i love it.i've seen alot of people have thier rears converted and they work just as good as any shock out there.i gaurantee it.and it's half the price of a new one.

Killer,
How long did it take from the time you shipped it out to get it back? How much was it, roughly? How was the customer service? I have the new TCS no preload triples up front and absolutely love them, plus I got a killer deal on them, $750 shipped to my door. Thanks again, Chris.

I had TCS totally rebuild my rear shock and it is night and day better. I had them revalve it, new spring, and hard anodize the body. It was around $300 and took 2 weeks. I would highly reccomend them. My buddy has an R and did a Works conversion on his rear and it is not even close to mine.

I sent mine in on a Monday & had it back on Friday. No question about it, it works great. Was set up as zero preload.

If your talking a 250R rear shock TCS can't rebuild them to be a true zero pre-load due to the lenght of the shock body. What Todd does is set it up with lots of sag. It still works excellent but it's not a true SCS. Only way around it is to buy a new shock.

My stock rear was converted and works a lot better than it did.
