Well I've got it. My new America but not in the black I originally wanted (Long story). Instead mine's in the Pacific/Aegean blue colour scheme which I think looks really good too. Thus far I've only done some 5 miles on it as I rode straight home on Sat with the rain throwing it down. I'm now looking to riding it a little further especially as I've now had a chance to adjust the bars and gear lever more to my liking. First impressions are that it certainly has more of a V-twin sound to it and that it really needs the TORs fitting. Perhaps they can come next month. Sorry, no photos as yet but I'll keep you posted on how the running-in period goes!

kudos! and i agree with the TORs. nice increase to the decibels, and huge increase to the reponse
there are 10 kinds of people in the world. those that understand binary, and those that don't.

Way to go! Enjoy the ride! And ANY kind of aftermarket exhaust is better than the stock, so make that your first mod!

Hiya, Lee, welcome to the circus. You allowed to take your bike on the boat? That'd be cool, stopping off at various ports round the world and exploring them on yer bike. Have words!!  So, what's the long story as to why you didn't get the far-cooler colour, black? (I don't subscribe to this faster nonsense) We've got time. Ride safe, Neill
