    There are side panels on ebay but they aint cheap. If you want a laugh look at fowlers spare parts site, they dont have any but look at the prices,jeezus. https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/browser/manufacturer/triumph
    Try here, they dont show any on the listings but may have new stock in now http://www.triumphhinckleyparts.co.uk/
    or try here http://www.triumph-ant.co.uk/

    or http://stores.ebay.co.uk/National-Triumph, give them a call they are very well recommended

    Great bike by the way, very under rated. Enjoy.

    Hi Stu and welcome into the Triumph Playground - enjoy.

    Re your bike, I would 'fighter it if I were you.The plastics may look OK but for me the most important thing is does the bike run OK? If it does, I'd just be riding it all day.

    Hello and welcome! Have to say I agree with Biglad.......cost and difficulty in finding panels sounds like the perfect excuse!

    Sorry to disagree, clarkey, the binoculars means your watching the thread, your avatar by the posters avatar means you've commented/ replied to it! The handcuffs!?! I'd delete your browsing history if I were you !! ;-/
