Re: [ST] '02 SSSA recall? - RAT website

99% of Triumph parts ARE available in the US. They have 
a large warehouse in GA. Almost all parts can be had in 
two days, if your dealer is willing to order them. Most 
dealers sit on orders until they have a certain 
quantity, they do not order one part at a time. The ONLY 
part I've had to wait for from the UK was a complete 
Tiger frame (due to the required VIN number stamping). 
Triumph is fine for parts - it's the dealers that are 
letting you down. Pressure your dealer to be more 
attentive. But do bear in mind it is expensive to 
overnight one bolt.
