What was Triumph thinking putting that on the tank? Gez.

BTW, for those who never owned an "orginal" Triumph a motorcycle mechanic I worked with for a couple of years told me they were not very good bikes for starting up and for reliablility back then. I've never owned one of that era so I can't comment on that. But I do know they have points and condensors for their ignition system like my 1978 Suzuki GS550E used and they are a pain to setup and even harder to buy/find these days. For my 78' I had to buy used ones from a junk yard at pretty high prices. ($10 per set and you need 2 sets)
