I found an 06 America in great shape. First owner dropped it but it has minor scrapes on the signal lenses and the bezel trim ring. I am looking to replace them. If anyone can lead me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Great site, thanks.

Welcome.
I picked up a low mileage '06 America a couple of years ago as well.
Great place to learn about the bike and great place to chat, especially when there is 3 feet of snow outside.

Welcome to the site, Rod! Congrats on the new ride, too. Check BikeBandit.com for OEM schematics, and you can get a pretty good idea what the parts might cost new from a Triumph dealer (or BikeBandit.com). I don't think the dealers like the part numbers from BikeBandit, but at least you will know what you are looking for, and can show the dealer on his own schematic. Also check our Classifieds section here, and maybe post a WTB (want-to-buy). Or if the scratches aren't too bad, just call it "character", and ride on!

Thanks everyone. I have fallen in love again, the Aprilia is giving me a dirty look. Oh well my wife doesn't mind me getting a little fresh nukey, as long as she gets to play too.

Welcome to the site Rob and congrats on the motorcycle. 2006 was the best year for these bikes. I actually have one of the faster "black" speedmasters from the same year.   If you don't have any luck with the indicators locally, I have some spare standard ones somewhere but postage may be a factor.

HEY!! He's an auto painter  We'll expect some input in your area of expertise there Rod  Of course changing the color to all black will have to go in the "performance mods" forum.

Don't worry about Pat trying to drink your beer. Just keep Pabst in the fridge, like I do. That will keep him away. congratulation on your new ride.

Pinwall can be great, done business with them myself and always pleased but they have no shame. Read the description of the part very closely.
