I'll keep you posted.
Old Scratcher,
if I could make a suggestion that you contact RAD Shockie repairs here in Brisbane about a rear shock.

They service the majority of M/C shops in Australia and ARE experts in their field.

I have had my rear stock Showa rebuilt (supposedly not rebuildable) about 30,000kms ago.
It was rebuilt re valved and regassed etc to suit my weight and agressive riding. I have maintained the stock spring but have a 5mm spacer.
this has raised my Sprint's rear by around 15mm.
My bike handles brilliantly on all bumpy bends on high and low speed corners.

Wotzit cost me? just under $200.00 AUD that was with my dealer sending them my shock.

I frequently have guys on sports bikes that are amazed at how my heavy Sprint (I am a big guy too) handles bumpy bends.

They could give you Aussie guys here very good advice. I have never heard of a Triumph or other brand owner not satisfied with their work.
Look in the yellow pages they don't have a web site that I know of.
