Hi there great site you have, Im Al AKA phoebelala from North Yorkshire

I bought an America without test riding and I love it. In 4 weeks from now, im taking it to Germany,France,Belgium,Luxemburg and holland. However, I found out quickly that with a full face helmet I could not see the indictor warning light. So, I engineered a solution because I dont want any chinese or other low cost poor quality items on my bike.

Here is the you tube link

Thanks for the hellos folks, Its nice to find a forum for these bikes. I will have much to bring to the party.

With the bike itself, its a very low miles 1500 miles at present 2012 model and is standard other than the sat nav and indicator thing.
Oh, and I have also fitted givi style racks for the monokey side case range. Made by Fehlling I believe, these are great. I did have a go with leather ones initially but for a big tour they were just a bit of a worry. Ive ridden through mountains in rain so hard on past tours that im convinced it would have destroyed leather panniers or at least soaked the contents.

First of all: Welcome.
Secondly: Sorry to tell, but 2012 models are no longer from Hinckley, Europe, they are made in Thailand.

But nevertheless, they are fun to ride!

Last time I looked it was the American, Australian, New Zealand etc. where assembled in Thailand. Europe still assembled in UK. I say assembled as we know bits come from all over.

Welcome aboard friend. Clever idea with the indicator lights.
