Triumph Trophy - General Chat / Re: Where to get the screw for the body panels
« Last post by Coconut on Sep 23, 2023, 07.36 am »
Like many Triumph parts, they seem to be bespoke to Triumph.

Part Number T3330941 - Any authorised Triumph Dealer can order them for you.

They are Stainless Steel Button Headed Bolts, M5 x 0.8 x 16mm
( some other lengths are also used ),
and are fastened using a 5mm Allen Key tool.

Similar bolts can be found, but with slightly different shaped button heads,
and usually needing a small Allen key to fasten them - often 4mm,
which may discourage owners from repolacing just oen or two bolts,
as two different tools would then be needed to remove the panels.

If you DO manage to find any please post details here
as I'm sure many Trophy Owners would be interested !
( Especially in view of the prices Triumph charge for their version ! )

Triumph Trophy - General Chat / Where to get the screw for the body panels
« Last post by ladisney on Sep 23, 2023, 05.29 am »
A few weeks ago I lost several of the allen head screws that hold most of the body panels.  (it's embarrassing)  Since I have no spares, and the dealer doesn't carry them, I bought some similar screws to put the bike back together.  I'd like to get screws like the originals.  Does anyone know where they can be ordered?

You are correct.  I was thinking about the Shinko Raven's that I put on my Kawasaki C-14.   They cost much less than the Verge 2's.  The Raven rear tire isn't available in 190/55/17  but is available in 190/50/17 which the Kawasaki uses - go figure.

I did get a good deal on the Verge 2's that I bought last year at the end of the season when there are close-out sales on and then store them until there are needed.

I've been running Shinko's for some time now and have been pretty satisfied with them.  I was happy with the set of  Raven's I had on my C-14 Concours.

Most of my riding is on the slab, BTW.

That was a quick edit !

Probably not, that's how I felt at the time  :034:

I had already provided the answer you were asking for again,
as well as a lot of other information that I thought would have been useful.  :164:

I won't waste any more of my time on this Topic.

Would it have really hurt so much to have simply written the answer instead of a silly little rant???

The Shinko Verge 2X costs about the same as the Dunlop Roadsmart 3.  It would be interesting to hear how many miles you get.

The pair of RS 3s that I just replaced on my FJR lasted 10,000 miles.  About half of that was high-speed highway riding in summer heat, including a trip from Boston to La Crosse, around Lake Superior, and return to Boston (4,400 miles).  The tires weren't in great shape by the time I got home but they were still rideable.

I know this will sound stupid but have you checked the "kill switch" position?  The other things it may be is the "fall detection sensor" and that should show up in a fault code, OR did you buy it new or pre owned and did it come with 1 or 2 keys.  If it was pre owned and one of the keys had been lost and replaced then cut to fit but never had it's transponder programmed into the bike it won't do anything except open the luggage and the fuel tank and seat release.
