Title: Greetings from Hiram (Atlanta) Georgia
Post by: b737doc on December 30, 2006, 02:16:07 AM
Greetings, new to the site, very nice and informative. I have just received a 1972 Triumph T120 that I plan to restore back to as original as possible, and found the site via "google".  I am also a member of "bonnevilleamerica.com", which I learned about after buying a new Triumph Bonneville America in 2005, which now has 12,500 miles on (whew)....
 I work for Airtran Airways here in Atlanta, and have been here for 11 years as a Aircraft maintenance technician working on Boeing 717 and 737 aircraft. Is there anywhere in the US that I can get parts for my T120 that anyone knows of?  I also need a wiring diagram for the bike, as the harness got caught between the chain and sprocket during unloading, and ripped it out. Glad to be here and will be visiting frequently....B737doc

If you obtain a copy of the 1972 factory workshop manual then that will contain the necessary wiring diagrams.
You can probably get these from J R Technical or Bruce Main-Smith in the UK but I'm not sure exactly where you will get them in the US.

Wrong side of the Atlantic for me but here are a few links that could be useful for parts/manual etc.:

Avoid dealing with a certain Chicago parts supplier.
