What ever happened to the bearing mods to put the axle under tension? the
biggest pucker factor I know of with a triumph is always having to give the
brakes a pump before they come up. A high firm pedal would be a big
confidence booster.

upgrade?
I'll let sons Sean & Mark work on this.
I do want to make the mod that prevents the pad setback that causes a
high
pucker factor.
