The bike is everything I wanted in a bike, the power, the handling, the weight, and definitely the look. Mine is all black, I couldn't wait on the Mulberry, just had to have the bike then. I wasn't even aware the old Bonnies were still being made, pulled up behind a guy riding one at stoplight, flagged him down, looked at the bike, talked to him, and literally bought the America the very next morning. I have always wanted a Bonnie ever since I was a kid, but this is a Bonnie with some attitude which is even better.
The guys I ride with are all Harley guys, they even are green with envy, oh they rib me about how quiet it is, but they love it too. And I can outrun them, or at least I could before putting on the windshield, that may have changed now.
The bike does need some noise, not a lot, but it's just too quiet, I'll be changing pipes right away.
Triumph did it right, I've had zero problems, and have had lot of looks and stares, and when fueling it up, I get a lot of conversation. A great classic bike with some balls.
Upgrades/Accessories: I have added, RPM Gauge, Sissy Bar, Luggage rack, Light bar, Windshield, Running Boards, Leather bags, Temperture Gauge, Leather Tank Casing for my cell phone, and touches of chrome.
I need to locate a handlebar sunglass carrier, anyone know if it's available anywhere, preferably not a Harley one?
I also don't know how to re-jet the bike, does anyone know?
