Intro is probably appropriate. I am called wiredgeorge. I am in the motorcycle carburetor business (Japanese) and I just purchased a 2002 Triumph America that I am going to pick up on Saturday. I live out in the Texas Hill Country with the missus and my dogs. I currently own a number of bikes such as a 2006 Goldwing for 2-up touring and a bunch of vintage Kawasakis.

Some questions about the 2002 America. It is red with silver on tank. I need to pick up a touch up paint pen. I found some paint pens at motorcyclestore.us in various shades of red. What color red is the 2002? 2nd question... I would like to pick up a service manual. I assume there is a factory service manual and I know there is a Haynes. I am not a fan of the Haynes; are there any other alternatives? Last question; does anyone know the carb spacing of the CVKs?

Have been browsing and have found a ton of info; just not the the things I noted above. God bless! wg






HOwdy! and welcome. What part of the Hill Contry? Im up north. (northern edge of HC) in Mineral Wells and my inlaws are in San Antone.
Call the Triumph shop for the correct touch up paint. it is a two part kit and its a PITA to get to flow right. I used it to fill in my harmonica tank badge, and tried it on my fender.,,, I ended up taking it off.

I have a PDF of the Factory manual and the Haynes. I cant ever seem to compress the PDF enough to send anyone. It fills a CD. So pm me with a addy and ill see if I can help you out.
