We have a few boys over there now aswel. One chap and I can't remember his user name but he has been a great help on the forum to a lot of people. But I have not seen any posts from him lately. Regards Joe.
Hi and Welcome to the Forum Sean If nobody on here has one, try e-bay, you can set up and save a search so you get new alerts when a new item comes on, most people can post to Ireland without too much trouble.
Hello, good morning and welcome! This is shown on the web page as available but no specific price :- http://www.triumphhinckleyparts.co.uk/partView.php?PartID=655 I've bought stuff from them before and it is reasonably priced rather than cheap. It's a right, royal PITA when someone responds to a specific enquiry with an answer that seems entirely irrelevant to the original question .... so, I will apologise immediately for doing exactly that! I know you're seeking a rack and have good reason for doing so but finding one for a T3 won't be particularly easy so have you thought about using a tank bag? The right one will carry almost as much as a small back box; you have a steel tank so can use a magnetic one - you can always cut a piece of towelling the right size to go under the bag if you're worried about the paint;and it puts the additional weight in a much better place on the bike (unless you're a weedy short@rse like me!) than behind the rear wheel spindle! And they are more plentiful and available than T3 rear racks ....... Good luck with your search.
thanks for the reply a back box is needed because i need to be able to lock it as the bike will be parked on the street so need to carry a couple of heavy chains rain gear and store my helmet will be looking into the link you sent as it is very helpful thanks sean
