Getting Use To The Triumph America

[Skeetman]

Until purchasing my used 2010 Triumph America, I had an 805 Intruder that I was very comfortable with and enjoyed riding the hills of Pennsylvania. I ride a 750 Vulcan when not in Pa.,and also enjoy riding the flats of Florida. i really like the America as it handles much better in windy situations but, I am a little uncomfortable with the position of the rear brake pedal. I am aware the the brake pedal is adjustable and will see how much closer to the rider ( I am 5’-9” tall) I can adjust it when I get back to Pa. In June.
if adjustment doesn’t work, I will have to consider other option. I have to do something so that I am more comfortable when riding as to avoid an accident.

Welcome to TT from Eastern Canada.
Lots of good info here so jump in and look around.
Post some pics of your set up when you get back to PA. Maybe someone can offer some insight.

I am taller than what you are so I have never really noticed it as it sits where it should for my riding. I would be intrested to see how you overcome this situation for yourself.
