    I have an ‘09 America and I’m about to install two new nology ignition coils but I forgot to take a picture or take note when i took the wires off the back of the coil when testing with my reader. Can anyone let me know which color wires are postive/negative? Thanks in advance. Scott

    Hey, obviously due to holidays tedium, my mind has set to wander and thus a project has presented itself: Has anyone yet fitted the larger 20l tank of later model America/Speedmaster or the Bobber even, to a 790cc/16.7l model? Or is this a simple/common 'upgrade' I haven't done yet?

    Hey all. I noticed on my ride this weekend that the shifter lever sometimes fails to return to home position when up-shifting. Is there a spring on the outside linkages? I did see that there is a spring on the shifter shaft on the inside behind the clutch from my Haynes manual. Anyone have...

    Hey guys. I'm wanting to change the tank on my America but can hardly find any online anywhere, at least not the shape that I'm after. What is the best alternative that will fit an America? I'm guessing the Bonneville tanks would look too small. Whats the best alternative? Thruxton? Is there...

    Boredom set in and with it came some frame clean up. I got rid of a few mounting tabs, passenger pegs, which also led to relocating the battery, fuse box, wiring and i kinda have a crab claw for a left hand so I had to include moving ignition to right side. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my side...

    Hello everyone, In the market for new brake lights after seeing how easy it was chopping some fat off the rear fender.

    Hi Everyone, so, i have posted recently about a 'possible coil issue', which garnished a modicum of helpful/informative replies. Having read a bit more into this issue, replaced the coils myself and had the bike serviced (by reputedly Melbournes best Triumph mech) which included re-jetting (to...

    So, I have an 02 triumph bonneville america. Pipes sound mean as hell, sounds like a European race car. I noticed a lot of my hoses were dry rotted, so I changed them out. When I went to start the bike again, it now has this very loud chirp. It was never there before. Anyone have any ideas as to...
