Hi Mick & everyone,
My pennyworth as follows:
Valve shims - 25mm dia as used by various Jap bikes are much cheaper than Triumph ones (though watch out as XJ ones may not be 25mm...)
Early 2-pot caliper repair kits - use Honda CBR600 (though not sure which model) as apparently Honda include spare pins which Triumph don't despite them really being needed on mine.
4-pot calipers from GSX-R750s are replacement for Triumph 4-pots on Tridents and apparently the repair kits are the same - again not sure of specific model/year
Have heard of ZX-10 springs in forks as an upgrade...?
However, there must be MORE!!! I'm imagining Headstock bearings, fork bushes, Clutch plates, clutch hydraulic parts, most bearings, ignition coils, most O-rings and sealing washers (if we knew sizes we could buy most from plumbing store for pennies) non-model-specific fasteners, brake discs? (I have just seen something about interchangeability with a Le Mans...) etc etc.
I wonder if the Triumph Owners Club might have anything on the matter - though I am no longer a member?
And on a different parts intergangeability tip: if a dynamo is basically a motor with movement supplied rather than current, how come we fit both to a bike? Surely one would do and just have a relay for it to do the starting - if permanently meshed it can then take over generating duties once the engine's running. I must be missing something here but I can't think what...?

And as a sideline
