Hi, It's really the rubber seals I am after - float bowl, cap seal and a couple of o-rings. I'm going to 'freshen' of the existing ones a bit and see if they will seal. The CD175 I have is going to be sold, so I want to spend as little on it as poss! Mind you, it hasn't been on the road for near on 30 years and I'm surprise how well some of the bits on the bike have survived. I've hunted around and the XL175 seals look like they are the right size...

Alas the part number : 16010-302-305 for the gasket set does not show up on the DS site. So the next step will be to try and find an equivalent carb set, me thinks. I'll also call DS later.

Thanks Skoti but I can't see it anywhere on the DS site - unless I'm missing something!

Could someone point me to the right place to get a rebuild kit for one of these carbs? I really only need seals etc. Been trying to source something online with no real success. Maybe there is an alternative.....

Turns out my wife is interested in one so we may head over to Fowlers in Bristol. If she likes it she'll trade in her '19 750 Honda that she bought there.
I think she may be very surprised!

I would expect considerable vibration at higher speeds compared to the CB400. Is that the case or have they tamed that characteristic of a single?
Vibrations are no worse than any other bike I have. Triumph have had a few issues which seem to be mainly centered around Euro5 'features' (and so have other brands). If you want to see how good it is, take one on a test ride. I think you will be very surprised at the performance.

Mike, I have the Speed 400 and I love it. It's lights, plenty of torque and well built. It performs well - not super fast but I'm not after that any more! The 400/4, in comparison, is a much more revvy bike but still fun. (I have 2 of those!)
It'll be interesting to see how the RE Guerrilla 450 does against the triumph - similar type of bike and being launched in Spain - today, I think.....

The problem, Ted, with lined or half lined over trousers is that the lining catches on my boots and thus in an frantic bid to put them on, I end up in a pile on the ground!! I really like the Oxford ones but their lining is like the net material you get in swimming trunks.....

Anyone tried one of these ceramic oil additives? I was wondering if it was better than MoS2 (like the old MolySlip etc)
If it is really good, I would say mind your clutch

Actually I was thinking about it in my Guzzi Le Mans (which is a dry clutch) - but good point....
