1971 truimph
« on: September 10, 2009, 06:38:35 AM »
I have a 1971 truimph Trail blazer 250cc and I have started on the complete restore and I am having difficulty locating parts for this bike. I know BSA made this bike for truimph and was wondering if any buddy could point me in the direction of a good parts dealer in the US or canada and was also wondering if any of the BSA version of this bike might have interchangable parts? I had to purchase Valve guides for a cub 650 and cut them to fit the cylinder head of my bike and I know there are no easy ways around it but any help is better than none thanks

Hi,

I've got the 1968 TR25W, the older sister of the trailblazer. I did know someone with the T25SS for a while, good little bike very similar to the TR25W (based on same engine). Many of the parts on these bikes are the same as those used on the BSA B25, simply badged differently.

I'm afraid I cannot speak for the US/Canada but there are lots of dealers in the UK who can supply parts and I suspect its the same in the US/Canada too.

In no particular order:
UK suppliers include eBay (lots of bits on there under TR25W/T25/B25 etc)
https://www.feked.com/shop/
http://www.britishspares.com/
http://www.draganfly.co.uk/index.html

http://www.motorcycle-uk.com/britbits/
http://www.suprememotorcycles.co.uk/BSA_Triumph_Unit%20Single_B25-C25-TR25a.pdf

eBay and the last one are the ones I've used in the past. I think many of the dealers will ship to the US if you get stuck. These models of bikes are, generally, very easy to get parts for.

Workshop Manuals/Parts Lists are very useful for working out what the parts are on your bike and ensuring you get the correct replacements.

Doesn't quite answer your question but hopefully gives you some leads.

Dlands,

  PM me with your email address. I too just picked up a '71 T25T for a steal and am in the process of bringing it back to life, and would like to share ideas with problems etc with someone in the same boat.

Contact Oliver Barnes on his website. His company-Tri-Supply is brilliant & based in Honiton, Devon, UK. I use him regularly although I must admit that he is only 15 miles away, but he ships all over the world. If he hasn't got it then no-one has!!
Regards
