Featured Single seater America....

I removed the pillion seat, saddle bags, hangers & sissy bar today as i was bored just to see what the America would look like....
Hmmm... I love it however im not looking forward to telling the wife that she cant ride pillion anymore....

Cant work out the 0-60mph times as (a) i dont ride that fast :wink: and (b) it would need a calendar & there is nowhere to mount it

 

No way, i paid good money for the rev counter from the stealership

 

Well they were quite rare to find on ebay at the time & i didnt want to wait so decided to bite the bullet & buy it from Triumph About £100 i think it was complete with fitting kit & wiring harness (which isnt needed anyway).

 

Funny you should say that i have been looking into getting the wheels chromed or similar with no luck as yet

 

Cant seem to find a local company that will do them, seems most arent interested in chroming alloy wheels however apparently you can get a chrome effect powder coating done but would need to see it in the flesh first to check how shiny it is.
All the places ive seen so far on google that do motorcycle alloys are in the U.S

 

Im thinking a chrome & black finish for the wheels

 

Hmmm.... Thats also a possibility but would need a good few coats of decent lacquer afterwards otherwise i will never get time to ride it with all that cleaning & polishing :wink:
The factory lacquer thats already on them isnt that great & is showing signs of nastiness already

 

Scotland?
If i cant find anywhere local i think i will wait until the winter when it wont be used so that i dont lose any me time! :smile:

 

Its not road legal, do you think i would get away with just screwing a number on plate on the back?
