didn't have any problem getting Triumph to replace both of them under warranty.That's what I'm hoping on

I also wrote Palm Beach Triumph about it (which is also where the original owner purchased the bike) and will see what they have to say. I try to avoid the local dealer like the plague for many reasons.. it's worth the drive for me to take the bike into someone who actually works on these things a lot instead of 'only when the
have to'

Cheers,
Brad
