High Gang!!!
I took some pictures of my 2004 America and decided to post them(customs section) for the world to see. Here are some details:
2004 America
Speedy Risers
Custom steel braided control lines
Freak
160main,42 pilots,Yamaha V-Star 1100 needles,3 1/2 turns
Corbin 'baby gator' skin seat with green piping
Hagon 1" lowering shocks
Custom 5-1/2 chrome wheel w/stainless spokes
Dunlop 180/55 ZR 17 rear tire
Bub Slash Cuts
Kuryakyn halogen silver bullets
and only the cool chrome stuff offered by Brent and the Triumph catalog
I have a video/sound bite for the Bubs but I have to figure out how to let you see/hear it.
God..I love these Triumphs. They are so easy to customize.

The wheels are custom built due to the scarcity of the Triumph America and the wheels' offset. They are not 'off the shelf' items. South Bay Triumph takes your wheel and transfers the existing hub assembly to a new chrome wheel and then laces up the new spokes to the hub. It fits perfect, uses your existing spacers and allows a tire of up to 190cm(190 is the widest that will fit on a lowered America without rubbing).You could probably put a wider tire if you didn't have a rear fender. If I had thought of it I would have had the hub assembly chromed when it was off the bike. That will come later when the swing arm gets chromed. FYI..South Bay Triumph will powder coat the same wheel the color of your choice. I have seen them do the wheels in red, black, yellow, and a creme color that looks awsome. With the lowering shocks, Corbin seat, and the 180 low profile tire my ride height(my arse) dropped 2-1/2 inches. The bike handles way better now that there isn't that big pillow back there. cheers..

Interesting that the rear hoop looks bigger than the front all of a sudden. Looks really nice. Any plans to bump the diameter of the front wheel up?

Nice Job. If not too impolite to ask and save me some research, what did the Corbin 'baby gator' skin seat with green piping set you back?

Maybe. If I drop the front then I might install a 21" wheel. But I don't want to mess with the handling. I may just bob the rear fender. It will give the illusion of a larger front tire.

No problem. $329 Tax incl(Me and Corbin are both in Cali thus I had to pay the tax). It took 3 weeks to receive it and the gator skin, piping and studs are included in the price.

Check out the corbin site. One price fits all. Kinda nice! I guess they figure if they are going to make your seat custom, they can pic from the gator skin pile as easily as the leather pile, ya know?

Great job making it "your own." Everything fits nicely together and the total effect is quite a beautiful ride. I especially like the Starbucks sized cappachino holder you added. Is that a standard thing out there in the basin?
