I not sure if your have heard the news however TPUSA have ceased business with no communication as too reasons etc so I would recommend not to place orders with them until we hear communication of status.
This has been an issue for me as I have been trying to source the pistons for the 904cc at 11.5:1 and then having the engineering boring and Nikisal coat the bores etc completed in Australia to reduce the shipping costs of barrels etc which would be ridiculously expensive to the USA and the time without the bike on the road.
On the Triumphrat forum a USA biker is arranging pistons from the supplier who supplied to TPUSA for the 11.1 904cc kit so if anyone is seeking these pistons and interested a group order is being placed soon and the more piston sets ordered the more competitive the price.
The price at this stage is $330 US dollars plus shipping and as I am in Victoria Australia I will be pleased to assist with orders for Australian interest.

Yeah , I was reading those threads over on triumphrat too yesterday.

Another reason some dealerships have closed or stopped selling the Triumph brand would be the reason one of the most successful Triumph dealerships in the country just a few years back and for a time a big supplier of big bore kits made for the air-cooled Bonneville line, South Bay Triumph in Lomita CA, would tell Triumph headquarters a couple of years ago to stick it up their, well, you know what.

Matt Capri, the owner of the shop and now just selling Nortons and Royal Infields and performing service on all brand of motorcycles, has told me that Triumph headquarters continued attempting to pressure him to take in many more units and much more spares inventory than what he knew would ultimately just sit for a very long time in his showroom and back in his parts and accessory department.

(...yep, seems the latest Triumph management is playing hardball with their dealerships, and this is spurring many of these closures)

I spoke to Carlos not too long ago, maybe a couple of months , and though Matt Capri is no longer selling Triumph Carlos was still running the performance end of the business (TPUSA). They had also moved locations.
I have no idea as to the state of business today though.

https://www.triumphperformanceusa.com/ Is still, according to them, in business for high performance kits and services. A phone call would validate that.
