Triumph parts place in UK and dismantler in Auckland?

[ckai]

Does anyone know what the place is in the UK that is meant to be really good for Trumpy parts? And also who the guy is in Auckland the dismantles Triumphs as well? You'd think I'd know that latter since I sold some parts to him years ago but shit I must have drunk more than I thought when I was a younger lad 'cause there's no well in hell it's popping to the surface.

I'm just looking at options to replace a broken mirror on my 2010 Daytona. No it wasn't me :)

In the UK I've bought from Carl Rosner Triumph and Jack Lilley...the exchange rate has been really kind and they were both good to deal with.

But again, Tim at VGC has an account with Jack Lilley so depending on what you arrange with him, he may be able to help you out with new parts too

I've found it cheaper to get parts from the US of A than the UK. For only a mirror though, best to add a few other goodies in as well to make postage more worthwhile

I'd probably be looking into aftermarket mirrors, tbh.

I'm currently dealing with Triumph-Ant (http://www.triumph-ant.co.uk/) for a clutch. For my bike slipper clutches are rarer than rocking horse shit but these guys have at least one for a surprisingly low price. Will have to wait and see how it all goes.

aha Tim, that's the guy.

Thanks guys. I'll do some research and have a look around. It still has the other mirror so it might just come down to waiting a bit until the culprit can save some money up :)

mmm I like your way I think ;) I might have to make a shopping list...

I'm thinking this as well. Just gotta find some decent ones and compare the costs.

Thanks for the link to the Auckland guy - very helpful.
