    Hey hey, sorry for the delay, been busy polishing some alloy. The bike came to me fthy and big dings in the RH tor. Managed to find a replacement after a lot of number crunching A13000117 or whatever. I will post a couple of pics.

    The sprag has been replaced apparently? But thank you so much for the info. This is the first Triumph I have owned. Always had cruisers last one 5 years ago was a VN 1600 meanstreak. I just knew I would fall in love with the ride on a TBird. Bought her blind from a London bike shop but seems to be coming good. 1995 on an N. TOR S fitted , not sure on the shims but found the airbag today. What a massive bit of kit that is. Is there a removal mod for that????
