Being looking for one of these for years since seeing a photo of a Steamer fitted with one in the Triumph catalogue:-

If anyone has one they wish to part with drop me a line.

Rare as hens teeth apparently. Mine has one from when I bought it 14 years ago. I thought it was a fabricated part by a previous owner, but I only recently discovered that it was a Triumph original part. I have never seen another one, and no mine is not for sale. The one in the photograph is much cleaner than mine.
It\'s ok , this will only take 5 minutes.

Are there any part numbers on the sump guard?

I wonder if these where made for Triumph by someone else?

I have wondered about if a Honda Transalp sump guard could be adapted to fit?

I have never taken it off so I have not seen any numbers on it. I used to have a Transalp, it is a much narrower engine so I doubt if it would fit. A wiser head than mine thought the guard may originally have come from an Africa Twin, but again it is a narrow fore and aft twin. Then I later found out that was a triumph original  part. You may be lucky and find a new old stock in a dealer somewhere. By the way it interferes with crash bars, so the Jack Lilley type cannot be fitted.
If you want to try some aluminium bashing to make one, I can take the measurements from mine it is a simple sheet, but with some rather complex curves.
It\'s ok , this will only take 5 minutes.

 :iagree it has a certain Honda look to it, Vara perhaps?
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
