Triumph America Bellmouths

Was reading another forum and saw another Triumph America owner had just updated his bike to a K&N filter, he posted a few pics and I noticed he was still running the stock snorkel. I mentioned that the removal of the snorkel aids in air flow to the intake and showed him a picture of the Polaris bellmouth that I run on mine. Someone else added to the conversation and showed the ad for the Norman Hyde aluminium bellmouth which is a really nice looking bellmouth. When I was looking at removing my airbox completely I was tipped off to the Polaris conversion might be a better alternative and the more I read made up my mind. Just thought I'd mention it for any new America / Speedie owners who have just gotten into Triumphs, The Polaris part is about $20 and when you buy it you split it in half and get two from the one part, the Norman Hyde one is in the smaller pic and is around $130.

 

You split it right in the middle, so the small inner lip sits below the top plate and as the top tapers outwards it holds it in nice and stable.
