Default TC Bros Reviews? (springers)

Hey


Anyone out there have any experience with TC bros choppers? I am liking their 2 under springer set-up especially the price, but have my concerns as usually, cheap parts aren't good, and good parts aren't cheap.


Also looking at their extended bolt set -up, lowering kit for the rear.
Thanks in advance, for good bad or otherwise.


Also, for application purposes, I am looking at putting these parts on my 2014 slim.


Respectfully
Wayne

Looks like a DNA front end out of the catalog and they slapped a different name on it.

As you said. You get what you pay for.

Have a look at led sled custom springers, not sure if that suits what you're looking for but they will custom make length, inline/offset and the finish.

Those were my initial thoughts, but from what I understood, DNA uses a two piece rear fork that is butt welded and that's where the inherent weakness is located.

TC Bros seemed to have addressed the issue.

Any other input out there? Anyone running this set up?
Any input on the rear suspension extension bolts?

Also, I'll look into led sled, thanks for the lead.

That's the Vibe I got from their simple site set up and product descriptions, I like the simple style. now just to convince the wife to let me spend my hard earned money on a front end for a bike that has a perfectly good one. lol

They're big in the XS game. I have their weld on hardtail kit on my XS and the quality seems to be there. It's nice finding quality AND affordable pieces. Give us a review if you chose to go with them!
