The 2T oil tank - I modified the Triumph's coolant header tank by drilling and tapping it to accept a threaded barb for the oil outlet.
I then fitted an oil level warning switch, which I found on ebay.es (Spain), taken from some obscure scooter that was broken for parts.

The Motogadget M-Unit Blue that I have fitted to replace the standard fuse box and plethora of relays that adorn a semi-modern Triumph.
It is also connected to a Motogadget M-Button, a device that takes all the handlebar switch functions and transmits them to the M-Unit via a single Canbus wire (the light green wire to the right), and a Motogadget M-Lok, a small, remotely installed security device that does away with the ignition switch.

The HPI ignition control box, mounted on a newly installed bracket which also carries a standard Suzuki GT750 coolant header tank on it's underside.
The ignition system is a self-generating unit that can be used for charging the battery - handy for if my belt-driven alternator should fail! :up:

Superb work. :clap:
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
