I have a pair of absolutely as new TEC lowering (20mm, 7/8") shock absorbers for the Interceptor or GT models.  I used these for less than 500 miles and they are too stiff for my 135# on an Interceptor that has been lightened by over 30#. I had to go with very custom IKONs which cost over $500.  These TEC shocks are the softer option, but they did not sag at all under my 135# and with the bike lightened 30#, as noted.

There is not a chip, scratch or blemish on these shocks and they have the correct eye bushings to fit the RE 650cc frame mounts.  The 20mm lowering allows many riders to "flat foot" more easily and there is no necessity to pull the forks up or alter the side-stand.   To use the OEM center-stand, however, you have to be much stronger than I am or (what I do) is to run the bike's rear wheel onto a 1" thick board, which makes it very easy then to use the center-stand.  Shock finish is gloss black.  See TEC USA website for photos.

Price shipped is $150.  Personal check okay, after it clears.  Continental USA shipping only.
