The '71 T100R that I picked up a couple weeks ago has buggered up switch gear, not a bit ta-do but the plastic levers are broken. I have never been a big fan of trying to change just the paddles... all those little springs and all that...

Is the wiring for a '72 Exactly the same as the '71 so that I can do a plug & play swap...?

Thanks,
Rob

Rob, the 71 & 72 should be identical, but the way the brits sometimes changed things you can never be 100 percent sure. I also mailed you a copy of the science museum letter for my bike. I also have a parts manual that I believe incudes the 71's if it would help.

Thanks Rolf,
I'll check the colors of the wires and all that when I get the switches and hopefully they are the same. I'm actually buying them just for the paddles.

I do have the parts book but thanks.

What is this science museum letter all about...?

I need to go find the fellow in Warren that bought my '70 Daytona back in, wow, 1992.??? Curious as to what ever happened to it. He bought both the '70 and the '69 T120R from me...

Cheers,

They can supply you with build date, ship date and consignee for your triumph. Was Charlie Vincent the guy who bought your bikes?

Rob D

Ahh, great, looking forward to getting that info...



You know I just don't recall... I'll have to paw back through a few registrations and sales slips to find his name. Is he the guy you geot your '70 from...? Say it ain't so...

Thanks,
Rob

I got mine from NH. Charlie Vincent lives in Warren and was a top New England racer for triumph in the 60's

Rob D

Oh, Nope, not him then...

What are you bringing to the Euro Show at Sunday River...?

Rob D

Yeah she ani't no show winner yet Rolf but thanks for the offer... I'll just ride a Guzzi over.

She doesn't have to be a show winner to go. They're all fun to look at and or ride.
