1972 Triumph TR61972 TRIUMPH TR6 BY THE NUMBERS
1972 was the second year for the Oil-in-Frame. There were four models for 1972: TR6R (the standard Roadster with low pipes); TR6C (with high pipes running along the left side); TR6P (Police version); and TR6RV (a Roadster with optional 5-speed gearbox). Engine frame numbers ran from JG033084 to EG057252, built from August 20, 1971 to May 17, 1972. The paint color combinations were Polychromatic Blue Cold While with black lining. The mudguards (fenders) were also painted blue. This was the last year for the Triumph TR6C (the last one to roll off the assemby line was #AG044359.)

ENGINE CHANGES
The new Quaif-derived 5-speed gearbox became optional starting with engine #CG051405, with "V" added to the end of the model designation. Full-width cam gears were fitted for quieter operation. Starting with engine #XG043810, the cylinder heads were modified to accept 'push-in' exhaust pipe fitting. Gone were the threaded-in steel flanges which the pipes clamped to. In their place was new system (presumably designed to save money) that caused all sorts of problems. The heavy engine vibration worked the steep pipes against the soft aluminum heads 'hogged-out' the holes so that they would wobble around fail to seal. The solution was to machine threads into the exhaust ports to install the old-style screw-in spigots clamp the pipes to them, ala 1971 earlier. know, because did this exact same fix on my '73 TR7 cum cafe racer, "Yellow Bike" Starting with #XG043810, new style rocker boxes were fitted which replaced the small screw-in caps with large cover plates, which greatly aided in valve adjustment. Starting with #AG046174, the cylinder head bolts were changed from hex-head design to an Allen-head that that allowed the top end to be re-torqued without removing the rocker boxes.
GEARBOX MODS
The leaf spring used for indexing the shift cam was replaced with spring-loaded plunger, as before 1970. Starting with #EG056421, the high gear bearing on the 5-speeds was changed from 13-roller to an 11-roller, which required new 5th gear these are not interchangeable with the old ones. Starting with #CG051405, the clutch shock absorber inner outer plates were secured by through-bolts, now peened over to prevent loosening.

FRAME IMPROVEMENTS
The new oil-bearing frame introduced in 1971 was not without its problems. good overall design, it simply wasn't well-engineered by parent-company BSA's "brain trust" at Umberslade Hall, the overly expensive tech center BSA had lavished its dwindling resources on. This new design center was supposed to save the company, when in fact, it hurried its demise. Among the many foibles they made was to make the seat height of the new 1971 oil-bearing frame staggering 34-1/2 inches from the deck. Too tall for most riders. This was remedied for the 1972 Triumph TR6 with an extensive redesign of the rear frame all the ancillaries that went with it (side covers, thinner seat, air filters, battery tray, electrical suite, all of it). This dropped the seat full inches, to 32-1/2 inches. The new seat now hinged from the left, like it was back in 1970. The rear Girling shock absorbers (suspension units) went from 12.9 inches to 12.4. All of these mods were made starting with #CG051405.

CYCLE GEAR
Early 1972 Triumph TR6 models had lower front fork sliders with rough-cast finish 'styling rib' running vertically down their sides. Later '72's got polished lower sliders with no styling rib, much cleaner look. The front fenders (mudguards) got an extra stay to fight vibration UK models got lengthened front fender. The handlebar switch consoles were swapped left-to-right so that now the Left console had directional indicators (turn signals), the the kill switch; and the Right now had the headlight flasher button, horn headlight dimmer (low high-beam).
COOL CONICAL HUBS
New for the 1971 model year, Triumph introduced these gorgeous conical brake hubs, front rear, with all new brake hardware. The 8-inch fronts were TLS (Twin Leading Shoe) design that proved to be nowhere near as effective as the 8" TLS unit it replaced. The pivot arms cams had poor leverage being conical in shape, they were not full-width as were the earlier designs. The rear was 7-inch SLS (Single Leading Shoe), which also had leverage problems. These glitches were sorted out over the model years 1971 1972, before the front drums were replaced in 1973 with long-awaited front disk brake (just years after Honda). One must wonder why they spent what little money they had designing an entirely new front brake when they knew they were going to replace it in couple of years. Why not just come out with the disk brake in 1971? Alas, we may never know. However, the upside to all this is that we have lots of gorgeous conical hubs running around today, and while they may not be the most effective stopping devices, they are awfully pretty!!
