Great to hear they're giving so much enjoyment to so many people
Have to say I'm relieved that the clutch on mine was in decent order and hasn't been an issue - yet... It's light enough and with the Hyde plate it works great.
Norman Hyde did a stronger spring but having just checked he is out of stock . He still has the sintered plate, but it's pricey.
The videos from Classic Triumph have been a good source of info (as per Eddie's post above), and it's great to find there's always more to learn!

Having said this, I'm really liking the bike now, and I have another awaiting a refresh as my Wife has rather taken a shine to it. She hated her old '68 TR6 simply because she was scared she wouldn't be able to start it if she stalled it.

I've also noticed that Trident owners seem to be the biggest bunch of p*$$ takers on the internet! Essential to have that sense of humour

[QUOTE="B+Bogus, post: 433354, member: 1419"] Great to hear they're giving so much enjoyment to so many people ;) Have to say I'm relieved that the clutch on mine was in decent order and hasn't been an issue - yet... It's light enough and with the Hyde plate it works great. Norman Hyde did a stronger spring but having just checked he is out of stock :rolleyes:. He still has the sintered plate, but it's pricey. The videos from Classic Triumph have been a good source of info (as per Eddie's post above), and it's great to find there's always more to learn! Having said this, I'm really liking the bike now, and I have another awaiting a refresh as my Wife has rather taken a shine to it. She hated her old '68 TR6 simply because she was scared she wouldn't be able to start it if she stalled it. I've also noticed that Trident owners seem to be the biggest bunch of p*$$ takers on the internet! Essential to have that sense of humour :) [/QUOTE]
