Default Motorcycle Data

Alex;

There is limited CFR data for only six Triumphs (they are listed as Model year 1956), but there is information for some of the later models of motorcycles used by DND such as the Armstrong, Can Am, Kawasaki and Mathias Trapp to name a few.

The Triumph had its own Ordnance Parts Catalogue as well as a Data Summary and User Handbook, so there is still some surviving vehicle related documentation.

Thanks a bunch! I just started a Canadian military bike thread in the 'Post War' section. Where can folks access that info of which you speak, Kemosabe?

Rev high!

Frank,

I have the data for the Lynx', I will send an email shortly.

CFR 35811 belongs to CR2-2 and I believe it should have a 67 prefix.

Colin

Is this info easily shared? Would it include the serial no? I too have a TRW and am trying to identify it..

Sure, let me know what the serial number for your motorcycle is is and I will tell you if it is in my database.
