Late 2007 I found a Triumph Daytona locally. It had been rear ended, and needed some TLC. Having been awarded the 2006, and 2007 bike of the year trophy, I know it was a bike worth spending the $ on.
I started out tripping the bike, and identifying what needed to be fixed. I needed a new set of headlights, flyscreen, rear subframe, front gauge mount....and some other small stuff. After looking around online, I soon realized that I could buy another smashed bike for what it would cost me in replacement parts. So I started looking. Found one in LA, that had been hit in the front. So, I started my puzzle. Took one goof rear, and put it together with the good front.
The first bike looke like this when I got her....
Bike #2
After the first paintjob.....
To this.....this is what she looks like today.
There are several build threads on the triumph675 board. PLUS, the Bike of The Month March 2009 thread.
