Errrr, did you call the dealer that's 250 miles away with these questions?
I'm sure they could look up the screws on their fiche machine and mail you
some replacements. I'd imagine they'd even warranty them if you're bike is
still in warranty. If not, I can't imagine a couple of screws costing that
much.

Subject: [ST] Ghosts of Triumph's past, or Shake, rattle, and fall
apart.


Sunday I went for a ride, the first in a week.  After fueling up, I went up
to the Overlook at Red Rock Canyon.  As I pulled in and went to turn of the
ignition, I noticed something quite strange.

The key wasn't there.  Doing a double take, I determined that the key WAS
there, about 2 inches UNDER the triple clamp.  Fortunately, my Triumph key
has the little triangular soft plastic key ring from Triumph, which is
somewhat larger than the hole the cylinder sits in.  Otherwise all sorts of
mayhem could have occured when the IGNITION CYLINDER decided to take its
leave from its designated position.

I have two questions now:  How does one go about getting warranty service
when the nearest dealer is 250 miles away and all that's needed is a pair of
screws?

Second, can anybody provide the size, length, and thread of the two screws
that hold the ignition cylinder to the triple clamp?  The screws come in
from underneath, and may or may not have washers.  Since my screws are loose
somewhere on Charleston Boulevard, I have no clue as to what else may have
been under there.
