Dennis Oakes' Custom Triumph AmericaAccording to Dennis, the owner (edited for clarity), “2008 bike (carbs not EFI), the tank was damaged and replaced with a pre-2007 style tank, tires are Dunlop white walls, front fender is stock america with the bracket modified to clear the new larger front tire, the frame was cut where the rear fender struts were, the new rear fender is a heavily modified JJ (Jesse James?) fender, and is now mounted to the swing arm. Speaking of the swing arm it’s stretched 6″, the bike measures 96″ tire to tire, the rear tail light is a common bobber light, the seat pan was made to fit me and then sent to “Bitchin’Stitchin” in Denver to be padded and covered in leather. I relocated the battery under the seat and did away with the side covers, and added K&N air filters. The color idea came from my H3–it’s called “boulder gray.” The D&D pipes were on the bike when I bought it. They sound great but have some slight damage. I would like to replace them but they are expensive so they will have to wait. The America has always been a bike I liked but being 6’1″ with a 35″ inseam they just felt “too small” but now this is what I was wishing for.”

This was originally posted on BonnevilleAmerica.com, where I replied, “Out-friggin-standing. I love it. I’ve always loved the rear fender mounted on the swingarm look. Stretching it gives it all some “breathing room.” And it finally makes sense to have a sprung/tractor style seat. Another favorite thing? The painted headlight body, color matched to the tin. Very nice touch.”
