Triumph - Gearchange Rod - T2081557

Couple of takeaways from this on a 2016 Triumph Thruxton 1200R:

The headlight bowl has a different part number on the inside than what you order. That's kind of annoying but swapping it out is easy.

The gear change rod has is threaded on both ends and threads into the lever pivot and the transmission pivot. On the transmission side the retaining bolt is a left hand thread. I had to order it as none of my bolts would work. If you try and force a normal bolt on you will strip the thread. I think that's why the PO of this bike broke it -- he tried to tighten it 'righty tighty' when it actually tightens lefty. The bolt on the lever side tighten normally.
