Stanchion pre-shuttle 1965-67 (97.1695) (97.1649)

This Triumph T100 stanchion pre-shuttle valve 1965-67 is a genuine Andover replacement part for the front forks of classic Triumph T100, T90, and 5TA models.

Keep your Triumph’s front forks working smoothly with this genuine Andover stanchion for pre-shuttle valve models from 1965 to 1967. The stanchion — also known as a fork tube or inner fork leg — is a critical component of the Roadholder-style telescopic front forks found on Triumph 500cc singles and twins of this era. When stanchions become pitted, scored, or bent, handling suffers and fork seals blow. A fresh stanchion restores proper fork action and seal life.

This is a replacement for OEM part numbers 97.1695 and 97.1649, supplied by Andover Norton — the authoritative source for genuine Triumph and Norton spares. It features a hard chrome finish for durability and smooth fork operation.

If you are unsure whether your model uses pre-shuttle or shuttle valve forks, check the year — 1965 through 1967 Triumph T100 and T90 models used the external spring pre-shuttle valve setup. Shuttle valve forks were introduced in later years. Order with confidence from Fair Spares New England, your U.S. source for genuine Andover Triumph parts.
