    www.pjsparts.com (the best place ever)

    www.british-customs.com

    www.newspeed3.com

    That should get you started. There are a LOT of places, including ebay and the Triumph dealer websites. Check in here in the classifieds section, can sometimes find GREAT stuff barely used for cheap.

    I have a question for YOU! My Mom bought a home in N.C, a town called Arapahoe, can you recommend a wireless home internet provider in your neck of the woods? I live in southern Cali and know jack shit about N.C.

    Thanks! BE safe and enjoy that Speedy.

    Re: lookin for mods for my s3

    Well, let's see if I can handle this one...

    It usually starts with mirrors,
    how about a little more blingage with some pazzo levers,
    then everyone has to have an exhaust to open her up a little,
    but then, ya need a tail tidy to make that exhaust look good!
    but wait a minute, she'd run so much better with a different tune.
    So next thing ya know, ya need a Tuneboy.
    What's that? remove a pre-cat?
    Alright, done that...
    What's that? A BMC air filter helps things too?
    how about some more blingage...
    let's powdercoat everythang that's silver... BLACK!
    well shit, now I'm grinding those purdy pegs, need some rearsets!
    How about a nice steering damper to go with 'em?
    WTF, I forgot about turn signals!
    Of course, there's always some bodywork features you could add...
    bellypan?
    seat cowl?
    I bet some Durrani wheels sure would look good, and make her even more flickable!
    But then I'll need some fancy wave rotors to go with 'em.
    Doh! I forgot to change the handlebars!
    Now I can't have that ugly front brake res. up there.
    Now I bought all of this stuff and forgot to protect it with some sliders?
    So how about some frame sliders, case cover sliders, axle sliders...
    wait, that should have been 1st, what's last?

    In other words, there's no good place to start, and don't ever think it will end.

    Two choices on the damper...

    Matris & LSL

    I have an LSL and it has been good although I hear folks with the Matris like them. One thing with the LSL is that it doesn't have a huge number of set positions.

    I think you got to start with the tail and the mirrors just so you can stand to look at the damn thing. Easy to do and can be DirtCheap.

    You're not another Jarhead are ya?

    So you haven't found the Master Parts Supplier List yet?

    Jeesh. Get with the program.
    I will never forget you, although I try very much to do so on a daily basis.
    My psychiatrist recommends medication. I'm not sure to which one of us he's referring to.






    Wait, I think someone just farted in my pants.
