Absolutly bloody amazing... phoned Triumph UK, you know, that place where they build these things..
It may be a matter of semantics but they really only assemble these bikes as most of the parts are OEM from outside suppliers. The carbs are from Keihin, one of Honda's larger subsidiaries.
You can cut out Triumph as a middle-man and go direct to a Keihin parts supplier (such as SUDCO, but that's in Southern California and you're in the UK) to obtain the necessary items. In fact, considering their lame response, I'd cut them out of any parts business and source my stuff from Bike Bandit or any other reliable vendor.
Or, you could take their advice and spend $200: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Triumph-S...#ht_3928wt_1733
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
