Well, my time come. A red Jag did a right turn on a bus lane without looking and we (my wife and I) crashed direct into him around a month ago.

We're fine and recovering, albeit was a bad experience for my wife as she's new on the bike world and has been less than 10 times on the bike with me, now is time to start to sort the bike out. (the bike has been write off but I'll keep as a track bike if can't put back on the roads (Cat B that I'm pushing back as the statement by the engineer is "not financially viable to fix")).

On the parts that I may need one is the right side foot rest and foot brake lever. Anyone knows which part will fit? (quite hard to find the sprint parts).

Thank you.

Important part first, glad you and your wife are ok

Apart from ebay, fowlers or world of triumph. you can get decent non standard footrests from all over. you will need your vin number for ordering genuine triumph stuff. here is a starter for 10

I was actually looking for non standard ones, but I have no idea on which ones will fit. I have no problems to go for any "track" parts.
Thank you, I'll take a look at the website.

Thank you for all the replies.

Yesterday night and today afternoon and put my hands on and managed to weld all the plastics, not that bad to be fair. I will reinforce some parts with patch and fibre glass to be safe.

Answering the questions, looks like to be only plastic damage (and the right side of the nose frame which is made of metal may need replacement).

Tomorrow I expect to get the bike on a flat and straight road to feel her.

New update for you gents. Rode yesterday for a bit just to try it. Riding straight as should be. Brakes working flawless (well it’s a sprint non abs one, but they are working as should be). No major damages noticed.
Just need the brake pedal adjusted or replaced and is ready to go.
Bought some wrap as I don’t want to spend money on a paint job right now.
