The Triumph America and Speedmaster 1200 represent the laid-back, cruiser side of the British parallel-twin heritage. These air-cooled 790cc and 865cc machines are designed for the open road, featuring a unique low-slung chassis that demands specialized hardware. At British Legends, we provide high-quality Triumph America & Speedmaster parts and premium Triumph America & Speedmaster accessories that allow you to enhance the touring comfort and chrome-laden aesthetic of these iconic cruisers.
Refining a cruiser is all about the "ride and feel." One of the most impactful upgrades in our Triumph America & Speedmaster parts catalog is the exhaust system; replacing the quiet factory silencers with short-cut or slash-cut stainless steel pipes not only sheds weight but also provides that deep, rhythmic rumble expected from a classic twin. To further customize your ride, our selection of Triumph America & Speedmaster accessories includes ergonomic improvements such as floorboards, tall windscreens, and backrests (sissy bars), ensuring that both rider and passenger can enjoy long-distance journeys without fatigue.
A critical technical nuance for owners is the chassis differentiation. Unlike the Bonneville or Thruxton, the America and Speedmaster utilize a 270-degree crankshaft (similar to the Scrambler) but with a much wider frame. This means that technical Triumph America & Speedmaster parts—such as center stands, engine guards, and seats—are not interchangeable with other air-cooled twins. Furthermore, when selecting Triumph America & Speedmaster accessories for the later EFI models (2008-2016), you must account for the fuel pump integrated into the teardrop tank. At British Legends, we verify every mounting kit to ensure your upgrades respect the specific geometry and foot-forward controls of your cruiser.
Mostly, yes. The main difference is aesthetic (chrome vs black) and ergonomics (handlebars/seats). Most structural Triumph America & Speedmaster parts will fit both bikes.
Yes. Upgrading to braided lines and sintered pads are essential Triumph America & Speedmaster accessories to improve stopping power on these heavier cruiser models.
