Most people who have been riding Harleys for years, like my self (35 years), will not give the T-Bird a second look. Because of the fuel injection, and all the modern eletronics. We like to do our own work, no one has ever touched a wrench to one of my bikes, but me. My 04 America is still pretty simple. I am still finding ways to rip out un-needed wireing and safty BS. So for this reason if no other,the older ones like me, don't want something we can't work on (and it don't have to be broke to change it). I don't know about these fashion show Harley owners out there, most of them don't know a spark plug from a rocker box anyway. To them its about playing biker 25 miles a month. But I do know that the people that I ride with think my America is the greatest thing ever. Some even go so far as to get mad when I show up on the softail. They seem to enjoy showing off "the new Triumph" to anyone we come across.
