I have a good idea for the quick detach trailer hitch that would leave almost nothing on the bike and not require any bolting or unbolting of anything. Not sure when I'll get time to fab it up but I will eventually.

A colour matched plug, to pretty up the hole which is revealed on the fender, when the pillion is removed.

A fuel gage would be nice. I mis mine that I had on the Tiger. Would be nice to not have to guess if we were going to make it to the next fuel stop.

I, I hate to say this because some thing will come up that I'll want the moment I send this through, but I'll risk it. I'm pretty much done with the goodies. I'll go with the braided steel brake cables when the OEM's need changing and go with floating rotors when the front ones go. Are the floaters that much better by the way? The only other thing I can think of is some clear lenses for the turn signals.

I'm likin a lot of ideas you guys have here. I know I've wanted that sixth gear from day one. The kick-start I thought about too, but figured it was something I didn't have to have. It would be nice though.  There have been several discussions about the turn signal lenses here and it seems to have quite a lot of interest. Someone ought to pick up the ball and get some made. Clear and red for front and back. How about it? Does anybody know anybody that has access to the magic formula and the mold or machining capability to make, say 50 sets of each?  BTW it was a good idea to have this thread too. Wouldn't be a bad idea to send it to Triumph after about six months and give them something to get to work on for the future.

I think it would be cool if the maker of the clutch lifter dress up kit as seen at Brent's website www.newspeedmaster.com could make a matching one for the shift linkage arm.

Now that I have the knee pads on my speedy tank, I again wish someone would make an idea of mine: Using a magic marker/felt tip pen body and tip, fill it with an armor all type substance instead of ink. Viola! A small detail size tip for applying armor all type material to hard to get to bits of rubber and vinyl without getting it smeared all over the freshly washed and waxed paint.

A quick release sissy bar/backrest. I really don't like the look of the sissy bar but it's necessary for 2 up. My friend has a Harley with quick release sissy bar, it's awesome. On and off in about 0.5 seconds.

50 more horses 6th gear (I've got the 18T, and still want 6th) Some spikier handlebar spikes than Kuryakyn makes A much cheaper quiet drive kit with a little higher ratio to boot. A freak kit that doesn't make me freak at the aftermath left in my wallet. Oil plug like most vehicles. Eliminate the crush washer 1 bolt with rubber 0-ring for seal. How bout even a bike to bridge the gap between 865cc and 2300cc? MORE CHROME FEATURES Its like a kid taking his christmas list to santa

You're in luck, Triumph just made it. For that extra 50 ponies it's called a "Thunderbird". HEHE

People, people, people, this thread is for items you'd like to see for the America and Speedmaster, NOT THE EFFIN THUNDERBIRD. Take it to other bikes (and see how long that lasts before the name-callin' starts).
Okay, okay, I participated in the digression (look it up), but let's just move forward in the original direction.

Friar John, Sure, no problem. Let me see now. For the America I would like to see the engine increased in size to around 1600 cc's. I would like to see either a shaft drive or belt drive. Water cooled engine. But I would like the profile of the bike to look exactly like my America.

How can it look just like your America with a radiator? You still want cooling fins with that?

Heh, I have been doing a bit of looking about and it takes a lot of cash. Be nice if the Speedy came that way from the dealer.

Special device to fire "cell phone seeking projectiles" into passing cars as they turn in front of you and a cleaverly designed "cage death ray" that desintegrate instantly all metalic objects (not hurting the organic) for cars that turn in front of you. and a small 1,000,000 decible blaster that would blast obcenities at cars that turn in front of you.....and a device to hold my Tommy Gun so you could shoot at cars that turn in front of you ....and.............
