Hi PEDRO,

Cut me a good deal on a frame/swinging arm/tank/yolks involving a trade against a VFR400R (choice of two) and I'll get straight to it :D :twisted: . (they would need to go anyway, I'm running out of space)

My finances need to recover after Christmas and getting the Triumph finished so I will have to wait before any serious negotiations can be entered into, but, just as a matter of interest what do you reckon that lot would tot up to?

Cheers Geoff

Ha ha, the Triumph got a "before and after" slot in Classic Motorcycle Mechanics "Show us Yours" page this month (Oct 2012 issue).

Also getting some good publicity was Titan Performance as suppliers of good stuff to their T500 resto article.

Interestingly a Mr Alan Gilmore on the Letters Page states that he had some T500 fork springs and crank main bearings made, stating that he had some for sale.

Cheers Zunspec

Yep, they will be the bearings he bought off me and copied :clap: the ones I have been supplying for over 6 yrs, but now have proper outer mains remanufactured to go with the centres already made and the conrod kits
