Let's see if I can get the pictures right...Nope...only got the first one to work.

Anyway, She's a 2006 America, Have the sissy bar, luggage rack, summer screen, light relocationg kit, River Road bags, and had floorboards until the most recent tinkering with her. The pegs feel like a cross between floorboards and pegs, and if I choose to set them up, I can swing them out to fully stretch out like I have hiway pegs. Not bad.

I've added the chrome strip under her tank and just had to put my flames pin stripes on. Same ones I put on my car.




This is how she looked the day I picked her up.

This is on the Baker City ride. Little dirty, but still gorgeous.

At the shop waiting for more treats to add to her.

The new pegs, decided that floorboards weren't right for me.

First pic of her with the new pegs.

It's a rubber pad to keep you from scratching the tank.
I have one that I haven't put on yet, because I want to get the scratches fixed on the tank.

The rubber tank pads are a little harder to find, since many people get the leather tank bibs. I like this better.

Brent, those pegs are great on my bike, just had to get some nylon washers to fill some of the gap since they are not Triumph size. Need something like a dental hook to move them if I want to change pegs, as they drop into the groove for the C clamp. Otherwise great! Thanks

Paint it pink?! EEEEWWWW! Gross!
Besides, isn't that Mary Kay?
NEVER will I paint her pink! She is just gorgeous in her sleek black, blinged out with a nice touch of chrome!

Z, I'll make a deal with you since you wrote "please dont paint it pink! ever! PLEASE!" I'll paint my bike pink when Karen paints her bike pink, ok? Seems like that might be, oh...I don't know....NEVER?

Yeah... the pad can save the tank from scratches caused by a buckle or a zipper for example. I have one on my Trophy but not the America. Maybe have to look into that.
