right i,ve go a puzzle . got my forks in bits of my 1998 trophy 1200. and the bush at the bottom of the fork is worn so i,ve spoken to my very helpfull team at my local triumph dealership . all well and good but why doesn,t triumph do the bush for the leg bottom. its simple to take off and put on but you can,t buy the bush you have to by the stantion leg complete . this is insane so why do i have to spend above £200 on the leg for the sake of a £6 bush .. and where the hell do i get a bush too fit .

I believe you found the solution to your question in the question. Why sell a cheap part when you can sell the larger part and make more money. I will go out on a limb for Triumph and say that maybe it is cheaper for them to store one large item that covers many items in the warehouse rather than having several boxes with many parts, this way they can cover several bases at one time but we pay the price. I need the back plastic housing for the headlights on my bike but I will have to buy the entire headlight assembly for $320.00 so I will keep looking on ebay. I feel your pain.

that sounds very much like it could be the case .
