By the end of the week i will find myself the proud new owner of an '04 thruxton. I have worked on tons of Japanese machines but have never touched a triumph. So the stupid question is.... do these use metric fastners? My guess is yes, but just wanted to make sure that I don't need to go out and buy a bunch of new tools

Yup the Hinckley Triumphs are metric, thank god! As as added benefit, no electronics say Lucas on them either!

you know Lucas didn't invent darkness, but they did invent sudden unexpected darkness.
