Thanks for putting that together stacka. I hate to see people pay $500 for what is customarily a $100 part, especially when it should cost $0.
A little more info on mine - I bought my Speedmaster used. I have no relationship good or bad with any Triumph dealers. The dealer who put through the goodwill claim on my igniter replacement is 200 miles away from me, and we've never met. We did the whole thing over the phone.
I wouldn't be surprised if the dealers get an hour'$ labor on these goodwill claims, with the assumption that the dealer is doing the change out, so perhaps it's at least worth that to them.
