My Triumph Daytona 675 Build Thread

[iSpoolin]

Got the Daytona on June 12th 2011, 2006 Graphite Grey with 4700 miles!

I now have 5700 miles, anyway i'm a mod whore. Always have been, always will be :nod:

I believe i've done a good amount of mods so far, and i'll continue the list as I go!

The day I brought the bike home from Yorkstown, VA:

First mod, Techspec Snake Skin Tank Pads:

and this decal:

Next up was Stealth Rear Turn Signals and a homemade Fender Eliminator, Gold CNC Billet Spools:

Next up was Removing the Front Reflectors, adding Triumph Reservoir Socks:

My latest mods were Proton Front Flushmounts, and 5000k HID h7 Low Beam and H11 High Beams:

I currently have an Akrapovic Slip on on the way from Riders Discount also!

I have many future plans for the bike, she'll be with me for years to come so im in no big rush but I doubt I can wait haha

Future plans:
ASV Shorty Levers (Black)
Rizoma Grips/Bar Ends (Gold)
Carbon Fiber Front Fender
Color matched headlight housings w/ Gold shrouds
Carbon Fiber Heat Shield
Gel Seat
Seat Cowl
Remove Passengar Pegs
Powdercoating stock rearsets (Can't decide on gold or black, opinions?)
Painted Gold Rear Subframe
Powdercoated Black KickStand


If anybody has any ideas to throw into the mix feel free to inform me of them! I'm always down to hear some ideas!

The bikes mainly a street bike, which I take to shows regularly, already won a couple of awards on the Daytona , I plan to pick up another Daytona next year sometime just for a track bike :bowdown:

If you remove the passenger pegs, you need the Daytona hump.

I would, but my girl will still ride from time to time, which means I need to be able to put the stock seat back on.

thats a sweet ride :thumbup:

Thanks!

she sure is beautiful. The bike that is, no gf in these pics...*AHEM* !!! :lol:

Can I ask what you pay insurance wise?

 

[yellowfz]

Is that a oil leak , I see a little spot under it , typical Triumph .
Nice looking bike , but you have to ride the thing .

Thanks!

My Daytona 955i has a keylock and the Daytona hump is removable. I have the hump and the passenger seat that are interchangeable. Just sayin if the pegs come off, the hump would look more appropriate.

Does the 675 have the removable seat/hump?

lookin good, i especially like how much your forks pop against the graphite.

I'd say get a seat cowl and powder coat your passenger peg hangers.

It would finish it off during the times you have them on there, and they would probably look good on all the time. They would also match the front ones if you powder coated those as well. I would have them done in black if you are already set on gold for the rear subframe.

I thought about doing mine black but i don't know how that would match the blue frame.

How about a smoked tail?

Thanks man!, and I am debating on doing them in black at least. I'm still kinda hesitant about the Gold Subrame, but it looks good in my mind. I need to do a photoshop.

and I myself am gonna go with the clear tail I believe to go with the Protons and pull it around the bike.

 

[sm00thpapa]

Very nice bike, I'm jealous! :bow:

 

[bmw675]

yeah, the gold subframe might be too much. although you can't see too much of it.

I still want to know why i see so many gold calipers and mine are just black.

Yours is the SE correct? That's why. All the normal models have gold calipers and even the SE from 06-08 had gold calipers.

Added a picture to the HID section of the thread.



Here's some other pictures I snapped today, just a quick few before it rained. They aren't the greatest.

ok its official i'm getting that bike next year after i sell my fz6r!!!

 

[Nastybutler]

Yep. I second that. Either a Daytona or a Speed Triple. Then again if I find a good deal on a used Beemer S1000, I'd be hard pressed to pass it up.

 

[iSpoolin]

Can't say i'd blame either of you, but don't go for a bike based on looks! I mean I LOVE the bike, but it fits me very well.

Oh, it's not just the looks. I've sat on a couple, never gotten to ride one though, and it felt GOOD. Also one of my favorite sounding bikes ever.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner CC, I didn't see your post :S and the girl pictures will come after I get my exhaust on

Insurance wise I pay 400$ a year for Full Coverage on both the FZ and the Daytona combined.

Setting on them is nothing compared to riding them. The Daytona is the most aggressive 600 Class bike on the market, and it can kill you if your not in decent shape.

I've put a lot of miles on mountain bikes over the years, so I'm no stranger to having my ass higher than my hands. Also riden a CBR600 and once I got used to it, it felt fine.
