The first time I saw the America in the blue and white, I knew I had to have one. This is my first bike in a very long time and I love it! It's an '09 America with EFI. I've added the short TORs, the British Customs AI removal kit, the accessories listed above and she is running a K&N air filter with modified airbox. It's a great ride! I hate pulling up in the driveway or getting to work as I just want to stay on it all day. I bought it new in April and she's already had her 6K service. If I could only make a living riding this baby I would be in heaven.

Where did you get the stem clock? I have been looking for something like that for my 09 America.

Congratulations Dungbeetles. I knew my TBird was in trouble as soon as I saw your beautiful 09 America. Well done!

You got my vote!

Nice looking bike, tastefully appointed, and not over-done.

Basically looks like what would roll off the factory floor if Triumph offered a "fully loaded" model.

Nice bike I am about to take delivery of the same. With the short tors did you have to do any remapping ? The AI removal & K&N filters are fairly straightforward - but you mention airbox mods, what did they involve ?
Had no end of trouble tuning my 690 KTM when I changed the pipe. Finally resorted to tuneboy & extensive experimentation myself.
