Bike Covers

No matter how hard you try, bikes in storage are bound to get dusty. Using an old blanket can be an invitation for damp to cling to the machine, eventually leading to corrosion. I have seen bikes which have been stored for years without correct protection and they can get into an unbelievable state. We now offer two levels of protection. The OXFORD Dormex breathable dust cover allows air to circulate and has an elasticated bottom for £21.28 + VAT. For longer term or winter storage the VacBag is a sealable plastic bag that you simply wheel your bike into, extract air using a vacuum cleaner, and seal the neck with the strap supplied.

New packaging

In an attempt to improve presentation of our products, certain items will now be sealed in tailor made plastic bags. The main items are all our gasket, oil seal, tab washer and O ring sets, plus tappet adjusters and speedo/tacho cables. This makes storage and packing easier and safer. Whilst on the subject of gaskets, there has been a price increase due to the makers having to stop using asbestos during manufacture. It had to come, but it has led to an unavoidable price increase. Console yourself and pop in to your local "Yamusaki" dealer and check out their gasket prices for older machines!

Wiring harnesses

We have changed our supplier of wiring harnesses in response to customer comments on the quality of the previous suppliers goods. We have noticed a gradual decline in the quality of fittings used along with obvious cost cutting measures reflected in the quality and incorrect colour coding of the wire used. So we now have harnesses which have all the correct fittings, with decent wire in all the right colours. For earlier models they are available in the cloth braiding where that would have been original equipment. We can also get later harnesses with cloth covering if required but there may be a 2-3 week wait for these.

T160 Fork Covers

Of new manufacture, we now have the correct T160 chrome fork top covers. It is not unknown for T140 items to be sold in their place, but they are not interchangeable. The are the correct length and fit. £20.08 + VAT.

T150 exhaust camshafts

Due to the unavailabilty of new T150 exhaust camshafts, we have commissioned a run of new items to factory specification including nitrided finish. Also suitable for T160. Current UK price £109.75 + VAT.

Twin Disc conversion

For those of you who find the single front disc a little lacking in today's traffic conditions, why not consider a twin disc conversion? We have now had the right hand slider manufactured to our own pattern as opposed to converting a plain right hand slider so this is now as the factory originals. The whole kit with 2 Grimeca alloy calipers and braided hoses is available for around £375 + VAT depending on exact specification.TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE.

T150 Exhaust Manifold

From a new manufacturer, these are the best we have yet to stock, with excellent fit and finish. Correct fillet between outer and inner pipe and outer pipe ends are swaged rather than a welded on stub. £71.50 + VAT. Downpipes from the same manufacturer also available at £52 + VAT.

T150 Primary Chainwheel

Likewise we have complete transmission rear sprocket assemblies complete with shock absorber and chainwheel which are on offer for £90 + VAT. These are the earlier 'short-nose' version but can be used on any machine with the spacer supplied. Spiders and chainwheel also available separately.

Dural Oil Filter Cap

Next time you change your oil (remember to use a good quality 20W/50) take a look at the screw-in retaining cap. If the threads are marginal it can pop out resulting in total oil loss leaving you stranded. We have had them machined from solid alloy as per the racing bikes. Externally identical but a vast improvement over the original. £5.50 + VAT

Oil tank magnetic drainplug

Fits all unit Triumph oil tanks, now stainless steel, removes any metal particles in the oil system, particularly useful after an engine rebuild. £4.46 + VAT. Order part number 82-5343A.

Available for both Twins (£76.03) and Triples (£82.90) both plus VAT. For T150s/R3s 6V coils are also needed. Suppressed plug caps are also recommended (see below).
