    Been new to the triumph family for just over a year now on a 2012 America. Went out last spring/summer for many a wonderful ride. Enjoying the ride, style and comfort of the America.
    Came across your forum whilst searching for parts, which is the issue I want to raise. It seems that so many parts are no longer available for the America and requires further afield searching, which is not always fruitful.
    This time I have been searching for gear change rod ball joints. It seems the right hand ball joint is the only one Triumph do now. Is there a fix or alternative anyone can enlighten me to?
    Thanks for any help

    Welcome to the Family. Sorry I can't help with the bits but just keep searching and you will get there. Just a though but as most thread's these days are metric. Would it be possible to take any other gear linkage and robe the bits of it.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy
    Joe.

    hi everyone, update on my search for parts for my America. After contacting Triumph regarding the gear change ball joints I was informed that the left hand ball joint is no longer available! But the R/H is???
    Anyhoo, kept searching and it is available in the States! Carried on searching and came across a site that may be of use to others. It is a site for retailers who have surplus stock and low and behold I found one, yayyyy!!!
    Here is a link, I think I will check them out more often.
    https://www.surplusstockworldwide.com/
