    I recently bought a Nightstorm from Triumph Plymouth. I ride solo and with Mrs as pillion so went to find the C spanner under the pillion seat. It was missing.

    The dealer are saying they can't get a replacement because Triumph don't make the parts any more. eBay is also a negative.

    Does anyone know where I might be able to find one.

    Better still, if anyone has one they don't need anymore I would be happy to buy it off them

    update part 2

    adjusted my shocks to the third setting.
    i cannot tell you how much the handling has improved
    slow cornering is a breeze, and the bike feels so well balanced now
    its like day and night.
    FYI, i got the bike with the shocks on the softest setting.
