Hi all & Greg
During my rebuild this winter I also took a look at my dilapidated
damper and started my search for a replacement. I called Damper Dudes
and they were very nice and this is certainly what they do. I asked if
they had ever done a Triumph damper before and they were honest with
there reply in saying no. Although the earlier 3/8 pulley is available
the later 1/2" is not. APT offers a nice new machines one but I not
ready to invest my next paycheck for so little return.
I am not one to reuse any, & I mean ANY questionable part but after
speaking to several reliable sources I was told to examine the damper
closely. Sure the rubber was cracking but the timing marks were on spot
and it turned true. This is not a part that is buried deep in the motor
and is pretty accessible later. Check it carefully you might be surprised.
