OK, this is getting out of hand. We all know (from the email with the 
company) that Saturn does indeed provide a different formulation for the 
turn signal fluid to Triumph. So it is not just a Triumph labelled 
container but actually a different product all together. Triumph engineers 
saw fit to go the extra mile and get a formulation that would dramatically 
extend the life of our turn signals while providing the highest lumens with 
the most accurate / regular blink rate in the industry. For this I would 
gladly pay the extra money for the Triumph product.

For those of you use the Honda, Lucas or plain Lighter fluid, all I can say 
is that I wouldn't want to buy your used bike. To spend all that money on a 
bike and then skimp when it comes to blinker maintenance just amazes me.

I would hazard a guess that the lot of you clean your painted surfaces with 
generic Acetone instead of the Triumph SS1 Acetone Kit as well .....

sheesh....
