Sweet! Love the tan seat. I think that's the first time I've seen the black ISO-Grips on an America.

Did you have to mod those grips to get them on properly or do they just fit? If so, what is the model number of the grips?

I like the grips too,and the fork gaiters.I was wondering how an America would look without the upper and lower fork shrouds.It looks good.

X2 on the black ISO grips. Love the overall look of the bike with the powdercoated parts.

Soren I ordered most parts from newbonneville.com incl grips,you have to grind down the ridges on the plastic throttle sleeve to make it fit.and the glue goes off really fast.

Beautiful bike! I think we have the same risers - I love mine. What did you do to the upper forks - just remove the shrouds?
...you're gonna feel a little pressure....

it's a great look. I've got some gaitors coming - can't wait to get them on. I have enough stuff mounted to the upper shrouds that I'll have to think about how much rework I want to do - but that's definitely a nice look.

Great looking bike Peter. Probably too many mods for you to list. Did you do all the work yourself or buy it in that way? What type of front guard you running? Good to have another New South Welshman on the forum.
