Do you know what the letters TAS stand for?  I'm not finding it.

I've had good dealings with this company, no problems, although I am using a Redwing shock @ 12"or 320mm because I did not want the cover over the springs, wanted to see open coils all the way. BTW , the Redwings are way too undersprung, or soft. I dont remember the gross weight rating. (I weigh 175)

Here is a pic of my rear which is in progress :
Found this bike in completely stock condition in Feb. 08. Paid over twice what my new one cost 30 years ago. Am trying to re-create the look of the late 70's Drag Bike styling.More later. 4-2-10 It ain't stock any more and I have no idea what I am trying to create !

I have had a few dealings with TAS and I want to say that they are a great company to purchase from. Mathew has been above and beyond with customer service.  Note that if it ain't on the online store, email them.  They may actually have it or they can get it.  Shipping speed is faster than I have ever seen.

Order late Thursday, out Friday, handed to me by the carrier on Saturday.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Yes VERY fast shipping! Got the shocks on the bike, look good. I did have to remove the metal bushing on the upper rubbers to get them on the mount and the width of the shock head is smaller/thinner than the stock ones so it will require a bushing of some sort.

Mine went on very tight without the center bushing.  Glad it did.
