You are more then Welcome Wookie!! Farting around, since you mentioned TI. I pulled a bunch of hardware off a donor Triumph Speed Triple waaay long time ago. Kept them for whatever reason?? But they "might" be TI too? Not magnetic whatsoever! SS usually has a hint of magnetism, these don't. Mod stuff isn't my bag, those miniscule grams loss here and there are not in the picture. Always thought TI came with that iridescent rainbow of colors? See i know Nothing, still learning..

A few more jobs crossed off the list (it may appear a strange order that I do things in but my process is to start at one end and work through :)) All the engine mounting hardware was really rough so I have made new bolts from stainless rod with flanged nuts welded on one end (first time welding stainless) the spreaders for the rubbers are stainless tube and the rest of the parts are alloy. I decided to integrate a ground point in one of the rear spacers to tidy the wiring and also I think the factory engine ground point is marginal at best. Have also got the horn mounted so "onwards" :)

Question: What do you do if your wife is away for a couple of weeks visiting her mother in Germany ?
Answer: Order 95% of the parts you need for your motor without the "yes it's expensive but what choice do I have?" conversation

Or if your wife's home you can have them all shipped to your buddy's house.  As long as your wives aren't good friends, haha
