Staffo, not wanting to hijack your thread but here is the latest on my igniter failure.
I was offered by somebody on the forum (who will rename anonymous) to get the price for me of an igniter in the UK, and if OK he would post it to me. I emailed him back and told him not to bother as I had bought one from the US out of a crashed 2003 America. Needless to say the deal fell through and I was still without an igniter. Not wanting to bother the nameless person after refusing his offer I decided to contact Jack Lilley Triumph in the UK direct, by phone.
They quoted me AU$675 (Converted at the current exchange rate) which included postage to Australia. I ordered it last Tuesday and it was posted last Wednesday and I should receive it next Wednesday.
I had quite a chat with the guy in their mail order departmet and he couldn't believe that I have to order gaskets, and wait for delivery. He said they keep gaskets on the shelf.
Prior to this I contacted 3 Australian dealers. The lowest price was AU1169, the highest AU1359. I know I could have tried to claim from Triumph but, I have had no bike for 3 weeks now and I wasn't prepared to wait for however long it would take to go through my local Harley friendly dealer.
