I belong to a veterans riding group, CVMA, and for a fund raiser we were given a 07 Triumph Bonneville. Somewhere along the line the carbs came up missing. I have found several carbs on Ebay that could possibly fit but I have a question, are the America carbs the same as the Bonneville? They appear to look the same but I know looks can be deceiving. While I would not consider myself a mechanic I have been working my bikes, usually Harleys, and cars all my life, and that's a long time. Any help would be appreciated.
 
I have a 2005 Thruxton, I’ll check my repair manual later today. A quick check on parts numbers would indicate that the America and the Bonneville have the same carburetor. Depending on the motorcycle, if modded or not the jets might be different.
This might help.
