As a Mechanical Engineer I love having access to information, I have purchased tons of books and trade publications that weigh only a few ounces because I store PDF's of the books on removable media. Makes it easy to carry a wealth of knowledge with me, also leaves more space in the tank bag for other items. :-)

Besides, think of the trees they would be saving.

If Triumph is worried about not being able to charge for it they can always password protect the PDF file.

Peace.
Would that were true.

I keep trying to tell you guys that the shop manual does not have that information. IT DOES NOT HAVE PART NUMBERS.

Tell ya what, buy one and find out for yourself.

I wish it was a true shop manual, but it isn't.

And I love those posts that start out with, "I am a mechanical engineer".
