I'm not a big fan of Ram Flo foam filters, and K&N seemingly abandoning these carburetors. They seem to have tripled in price in 15 years. So I'd like to keep the stock muffler look.

The Moss no name turn signal switches are crap - they fail very quickly. This has been discussed in Triumph forums at some length.

The Robey prices are more competitive if you purchase a membership for 20 pounds, which is good idea if you are going to care for a JH. It will pay for itself on your first order.

Robey defaults to an express premium shipping service with tracking unless you specify otherwise. You can opt for a much less expensive shipping method at checkout. It takes a bit longer and you cannot track the package, but you save $$$

As to the K&N issue. I agree, but then they have always been an expensive option. For the JH you can do some careful measuring and find what you need by sifting through the catalog based on size and style. I have had to do this on a couple of applications in the past.

I know we would all like to walk into our local NAPA and say "Gimme a widget for my JH" and the tech looks it up in their parts database, then hands it to us for $10. If one is looking for that experience, an obscure British Marque is not the car for him. He should get a Chevy instead.
