Greetings..I will be picking up my new 2005 America on Monday. I have looked through the archives and messages for hints where to find accessories, like just the basics for starters (windshield before riding season, and bolt on saddlebags, hopefully that will lock). When I pick up the bike I am supposed to get a discount on accessories...but we will see how good that discount really is! The Triumph bags do seem too small and I think their windshields are, too. I also need a backrest and sissybar so I can load my luggage for trips. So...if there is no aftermarket stuff out there, I will press them for a really good discount...I'll bet that will work. yea, right. I hope they don't consider 'accessories' clothing. Don't need clothing...want bike stuff!!
I am familiar with some of the usual places to hunt for bike stuff, but that was for a Harley (don't throw rocks) but this Triumph is a whole new deal. I'm pretty excited for the riding weather now. I think it will be a more comfortable ride, better cruising speed and more surprises I probably don't even know about yet. The sportster is the only bike I've driven. My HD was very reliable and a good bike but after 10 years, I am ready for something else.
Thanks for your help in my search!!
