Well, after spending months researching, reading this forum & TriumphRat & putting together a list of
what I need now &
what I will add later, I finally put my order in on 07 America (blue/white).

It will be my first real bike and I will have a trial by fire riding it home this Saturday (hopefully). I completed the MSF course in February and have been itching to get all the stars properly aligned for this. And now the day is finally here.

I've already tried to contribute some info already and hope, once I have the actual bike to reference, to be able to contribute further.
Thanks for the advice and support!
I've taken the proverbial red pill. Now that I am in Wonderland, I will see how deep the "rabbit hole" goes
