i've got a 95 speed trip. and put on a set of gsxr 1000 6 piston front calipers, direct changeout.....B. :-g

Well, then there is one part that my new Triumph shares with my old one.....the 6204 wheel bearing. That's strangely comforting.

Well after a little bit a questioning I was told that a T509 header was a direct swap to the Sprints....just need to have a mid-pipe made for it?.

Anyone else know anything of this would like to know for sure before i go and buy some useless headers.

Does anyone know if there are other alternators that fit an '02 T-Bird?
Triumph parts are hard to find and very expensive.

I dropped a rear shock from a 1994 Kawasaki ZX7 into my 1996 Adventurer with no mods required at all. The upper bolt bushing was the same size, the bottom clevis width and hole diameters matched the Triumph unit exactly, and the top bolt bushing is also the same width as the Triumph unit. The ZX7 shock has no external reservoir to deal with, is fully rebuildable, and has adjustable rebound damping. The shock is 1/2" longer than the OEM Triumph shock, so the rear of the bike is raised slightly. The spring rate on the ZX7 shock was perfect for my Adventurer and the ride is much more plush.
Mine cost less than $25 including shipping. How can you beat that??

I have a 94ZX600 shock in my garage that looks like a slightly longer replacement for the stock T bird spring. I was going to try to find a ZX11 spring to put on it to stiffen it and bolt that in. That would be a lot easier than changing my swing arm and dog bones to swap over to the 95 Daytona shock I have.

I would try it just the way it is. The spring rate might be close enough. If not, if you are handy with a lathe, you might be able to use the stock Triumph spring on the ZX shock. It is shorter but it looked like the OD/ID were close to the ZX spring.

There was a thread somewhere about Kawasaki alternator interchangabilty. There are 3 or 4 popular styles used on a lot of bikes. I hope somebody will chime in with more specific info, though.

I would try this, from a '99 Kawasaki ZRX 1100:

It looks like the right one. You might have to solder your connector on it, though.

I wonder if the regulator components are any better...meaning doesn't overcharge as much. A lot of other 90's era Kawi alternators look similar. Some Suzi ones are close (use gear instead of the paddle plate).
