Daytona Head and Barrels on 1200 trophy

[nick160460]

My 1991 trophy 1200 is having a 12000 service done at my local Triumph dealers, any way he phones to tell me the HT leads need replacement and asks if i know any thing about the engine, No I reply, he then informs me that my trophy has got a Daytona Head etc and Barrels !

Now I wonder, why is this and what advantages would it give me if any ?

No idea have I, so what does my fellow Trophy riders think answers on a postcard or on the forum

over to you

It means that a previous owner souped-up your Trophy's engine for higher performance. Quite a bit of money invested to gain a few horses.

HT leads normally suffer along with the coils from the heat underneath the shroud.

thanks for the quick reply would the Previous owner hvae done this just for the extra power o would it be a upgrade due to some other major failure ?

Just a guess, but most do it for the increased performance.

Thanks mate its nice to have the old girl home again even though they gave me a Speed triple 1050 to ride whilst in the workshop i prefer my old trophy, Sad or what

The Speed Triple is a fine ride! Though I wouldn't trade my 800 XC for one, I surely do like them.
