Does anyone know a decent on line parts company in the UK, that has parts instead of the out of stock or back order excuse Thanks
Yeah, they have similar issues in UK to US dealers with many not knowledgeable about what is available on order or not.
World Of Triumph part of the massive Lings Motorcycle and Auto trading empire are reliable in my experience.
Dealers throughout the world often have one off quantities of parts from previously uncollected/cancelled orders or very high stock rotation items like indicator lenses and common servicing items. The rest is back ordered from their Corporate Group or National Triumph distribution centre. If your in the UK the slowest is from Nat Triumph but if you were overseas like the rest of us it means a wait of months not a week or two.
The Aussie Triumph Dealers Nat centre has a 4 colour parts listing code. Green if 2 or more in stock, Yellow low stock in Oz, Red if only on order from the UK and Black if CONFIRMED no longer in production or stocked by Triumph UK.
Many of the accessories for earlier models like the 2004 -2009 Rocket 3 Standard, Classic; 2010-2018 Roadster and 2008 - 2017 Tourings ceased production or dealer availability from around 2012 and were no longer included in annual catalogs despite still fitting later years Rocket production.
Many of these no longer stocked items are available used or new on eBay or on dealers shelves still to be discovered. I have found a few such sources over the last couple of years and despite them drying up I still have some items and come across a few occasionally. The key issue is knowing what is and is not easily available and which model VIN variations its fits or does not and an idea of value once located.
Lots of 'it' is obtained or obtainable and documented here in the forums and Classifieds - so happy reading and buying.
