The problem is the forward controls and the handle bars combined not just the bars. The problem will never be fixed just by fitting bar risers that will take some pressure off your wrists , but realistically there wouldn't be much there anyway because of the seating position on the America. Might be time to start looking at a different bike.

Best way would be to take it to a shop let them turn up the dampers and then turn up the rear shock as well, 6'2 you will need at lest 5 more inches of height to feel comfy.

You might try looking at your transistor it could be the cause of your problems. Even though it is a carb bike it will still have an transistor pack or similar that controls your spark. It is possible that failed. Try one from a bike that you know is working if that makes a difference that is your problem.
Although I'd also look for broken wires and poor contacts.
If your good with a multimeter and you know the specs of your coils and transistor than you can try and test them.

Im sure it needs the backpressure for low end tq ,, best get a good set of slipons..that sound good to you...

Triumph bikes are well made but the exhaust always suffer and turn blue due to heat .
Now this is common on lots of bikes but the good old twins have a high compression output and i would , just for your own sake , get the compression level out of the specifications and put a gauge on the bike . this is the safest way of telling if the rings are weak and done a lot of miles .
the color of the exhaust may be only telling that the metal thickness may not be adequate or poor chrome workmanship due to chinese metal .

a small amount of oil from the crankcase vent hose under hard acceleration is most likely normal.American bikes don't leak oil,they mark their spot!

0.031 to 0.035 inches or 0.8 to 0.9 mm

weak battery, have the battery fully charge and see if that will do the trick.

3) bypass the indicator relay: remove it from its socket and jump the connectors with a small piece of wire. Make sure you jump the right ones: the + from the battery to the indicator bulbs connector.

sounds like you have a float in the carb stuck or it has a hole in it and not shutting the fuel off

sounds like the starter soloniod has given up but before you resign yourself to replaceing it have you checked all the conections often these symptoms indicate nothing worse the a faulty earth conection
