    Hi all, happy weekend.

    I hope someone can help, I have a very specific suspension question regarding my 2013 Triumph Speed Triple (Non ABS). The suspension is Showa from factory.

    Would anyone happen to know the grade of aluminium alloy used for the gold fork outer tubes? Would it be any of these aircraft grades.... L168, T7511, 7075)? They're about to be re-anodised and the engineer would like to know the exact alloy grade for the best result.

    Thanks ever so much.

    Dan

    Write or call a triumph dealer?
    They are usually pretty helpful if it doesn’t involve a warranty claim, missing parts, corroded wheels, squeeky brakes, wrong software, quick shifter (sorry, shift assist..) errors, workshop errors, non-delivery of goods, incorrectly booked in and confirmed services etc.......
    So, you might be ok!!! :):)
