I sent you a PM on those Dean. Perhaps I will have a CFR to adopt for my bike.

There was a good article in CMP magazine #3 on the Canadian Triumphs. It mentioned that used units were selling for $400 to $650, and new in the crate ones were selling for $900 to $1250. There must have been some lower priced lots, as I have read on some of the Bike forums where a dealer in the US was selling the ex-Cdn bikes for $500 each in the crate, and had 15 to 20 of them.

Mind you, I'll take an article that was written closer to the days when they were sold, rather than conjecture from internet forums. The memory can get a bit cloudy after 3 or 4 decades, and legends can grow.
