The Loft of Plenty

I had another good root around in the loft this afternoon and found several more crates of steamer stuff.











I also have an engine (45000miles) and a front wheel to go in what must be the biggest clear-out of steamer parts from my loft since I did this a few months ago.

If you want something from the pile then make me a derisory offer /swap for beer and I'll send it to you.
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Oohhhhh Steamer bits  :love10

I'm assuming the speedo is in miles since you're in the UK ?  If it's Kmh I'll take it.

I would like the side stand, gear shift lever and smoked screen if you would ship to Canada, V4A 6S6.

Good grief, how could forget you had all that, you must have a loft the size of the Sistine Chapel  :icon_scratch: pm coming soon.
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

Steamer speedos (all the ones I've ever seen) are dual scale worn the miles being the more prominent per ring.

Speedo is mph as it is a UK one. Everything else is good to go through. I'll weigh it and let you know how much to ship it to Canada as experience tells me it can be prohibitively expensive. But we might get lucky this time.

There is more in there yet Sin. My wife hoards stuff and the bike stuff is at the back which means it takes a real effort to shift it about.

That's what I have as the bike was a US import.  I'm thinking Canadian models and most of the European models would have Km on the outside.

Cheapest shipping option is fine with me I'm not in a rush.


Thanks

No wonder Triumph ran out of inventory of spares for Steamers...............

:ImaPoser if Nick and Sin teamed up it would be a steamer parts convention.

The rubbery thing. Free plus P and P.
The hub is part of a complete wheel which I'd like to sell as a whole thing ideally.
