Can anyone tell me if all 2003 speedmasters came with the round triumph silver/aluminium cover plate fitted to the LHS engine cover. My second hand bike is all black no plate attached. How is it attached, Glued?

All had the cover. There are some cases in which the the first year ('03) models lost that cover. I'm not aware of any falling off in later years. They are glued.

FYI the covers are available from your local triumph dealer as an aftermarket accessory - intended for the americas (which didn't have them stock) but exactly the same as the stock speedy ones.

Mine fell off; it was an 03. It was just attached with a rubbery adhesive. Mine now resides on the bike of one of our fellow members.


Learning from my mistakes... again and again.

If you get a new one to put on, clean off the glue that comes on it and use red rtv. It will stay then.

Mine fell off about 6 months ago on my '04 Speedy. Now I'm sure the finale resting place is some back road in southern Alabama. It was attached the same way as nuthin's, rubbery adhesive. I kinda like the look of it not there... but I don't think I have a choice in the matter anyway! It's probably just grown on me.
