I didn't know they put a smaller one on. I would imagine I would want a larger one.

Just looking at pix and , yes I would want a larger one for sure. But I would also like 2 front discs and fork shrouds too.

I can live without the fork shrouds, definately would like 2 discs, but that front wheel is gorgeous and I understand why they left it off..............

I like the wheel too but not as much as the ones they used on the 07. I just bought a set of those. It's all in taste since I know many removed the shrouds for the look they wanted. I just like them myself. Just like I like the older longer rear fender. As for wheels, I never liked the mismatched look of the wheels on my 04.

From the pic I saw it looks like about 5 1/2" give or take.

Didn't they raid the parts shelves and put on the regular Thunderbird single headlight?

Don't know about that but sure looks like they snagged the R3 speedo housing.

Yeah, I think you're right about this, John.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I like the look of the smaller light. I always thought the headlight and speedo on the 02-10 where oversized.
As the man said, to each his own.

To each his own, definitely. I like a big fat headlight. But the new Speedy looks good with what it has.
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

The headlight on the 2011 America is large and it comes with a clear lens. Costs a fortune though.

I'm almost positive the headlight from
an older speedy will bolt right on!
