I hope it will be as my 2005 Triumph Rocket3 2300cc. Nothing from asia except the battery. There are parts from France, Germany and Italy. Can't wait. Gary

Do you know why the Brits don't make computers??

They haven't figured out how to make them leak oil !!

My Triumph R3, MGA, Sunbeam Tiger or Norton do not leak oil.But I am the only mechanic that touch's them. I also have no problem with Lucas!! Mine work. Back to my FAL's. Gary

Consider yourself lucky, Gary. Both my 1960 AH Sprite Bugeye & my 1954 MG TF leaked every liquid they contained by the bucketload, from time to time. Still, I'd give a lot to have them back- especially the Sprite.

Luck has nothing to do with it. I modified and installed rear main oil seals on TD, MGA. I restore my British cars and bikes to keep busy. The only oil drips on my bikes are from factory chain oilers. Gary
