All the early T300 series engines had a lot of interchangeable parts, right down to piston and rings, for instance the 1200 4 cylinder was just a a 900 triple with an extra cylinder. A lot of the ancillary parts were the same too, I know because I had a 94 trident and put tiger foot pegs, Daytona headlight amongst a few other parts on it. Put a Thunderbird cam and crank shaft balancer in it until I could get the correct parts, ran fine.
A bloke i know has a 900 Trophy his breaking, he has the engine left but the starter, Carbs and alternator has gone. I was playing with the thought of sticking it into the T/bird for the extra gear......
Yes - they even have a word for someone who wears gloves and throws snowballs! "Handschuhschneeballwerfer"
The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders are/were great fans of the Dachs (badger) hence Dachshund......
Sorry Jez, but the name was Schnitzelwiesel (Cutlet-Weasel) It lives in the area of Schlabbersack, close to Glibberbeutel!
