I'm sure that this list's experiences are somewhat distorted by the largely US
presence - the home market 1500 manifold joint is a very real problem to those of us
who've lived with it. One of the most popular items I sell from my trade counter at
Triumph shows is the downpipe gasket for the 1500 - most buyers take 2 so they have a
spare to keep in the glovebox.
I would be very interested to hear from any owners who HAVEN't had a problem with
the downpipe gasket.
Cheers,
Bill.
