Hi, I'm pretty new to Triumph so I have few question hope to have an answer for:
-I'm about to buy a 2004 Speed master with 5.000miles for $4300. Is it ok price?
-Is there alot different between 2004 and later model? It seems like the engine is smaller on the 2004.
- Are the hard saddlebags on 04 America will fit on 04 Speedmaster?

This is alot to ask but I get pretty excited about the bike and want it to be nice so hope experience riders can help. Thanks alot.

1. Guess it's ok. I bought my 2004 SM for 10500€ in 2006 and last summer local dealer offered 7000€ in exchange for the new TB. Different location, different prices. Usually more expensive here up north.
2. Not much. Different gas tank and wheels in the newer EFI bikes and some minor cosmetic changes like sprocket cover and such. 2004 is with the 790cc engine and from 2005 came the 865cc engine. Some prefer the old, some the new. I'm happy with my 790.
3. They fit. I think (practically) every part or accessory fit both bikes.

Hope this helps.

that doesn't sound too bad a $, the miles are very low. the '04 790 motors had the 'good cams' in them, a plus. The mounting pionts for bags is the same for those years and models.
