I just returned home from the dealer and they showed me where the part is expected to ship on 13 November 2013 the key word is expected than it has to go thru customs ect another 2 weeks of waiting and that is if it in facts ship. the last time we looked the part was to be at the dealer PER Triumph corporate Yesterday 1 Nov 2013. Further investigation today revealed, PER TRIUMPH REP, None of the parts needed are in fact available to ship from Triumph and when some are available to ship they will ship it. So i aksed give me a new bike or take the required part off another bike to which the answer was NO can not be done. They have offered to alow me to use a DUCATI for my trip which is planned for next week. If I wanted a Ducati I would have bought one.
