Knolly's 2009 Daytona 675

UPDATE: Won May 2012 Bike of the Month!

So I waxed my bike up for the spring and tried to take some photos since the only photos I have of its new paint scheme are old and poorly lit. I realize some of them are repetitive, but I never claimed to be efficient nor a good photographer, so let's do this!

A Brief History of my Bike: I bought a 2009 Jet Black Triumph Daytona 675 it in the fall of 2009. At the time, it was 6 months old and had about 1800 miles on it, and was pretty as can be:



After two years of tinkering and modding it looked like this:



Not gonna lie. Every time I look at pictures of how my bike looked back then I say "Ooph, that's a good looking bike." But I love her how she looks now just as much.

In the summer of 2011 I decided that I wanted some track fairings. At the time, I really didn't have room for two full sets of fairings, so I got a full set of Sharkskinz fairings as well as a street upper fairing, so when I go to the track I can just swap out the upper fairing and be good to go. These were painted in a color scheme very similar to the 675R, and that's the story of how my bike ended up like it is today.

Since some of my mods have resulted in how-to threads I've linked them where appropriate.

Modifications (In no particular order):
- Sharkskinz Bodywork - Painted in a 675R-like scheme with slightly different lines, less decals, and classic Triumph tank logos. I also have a track upper that I swap for track days.
- Shindengen FH012 MOSFET R/R - Located under battery tray
- LED Running Lights, HID Low Beam, and Twinlight Driver3 with Luminics H9 High Beam

- Ducati GT Mirror Turn Signals - These were originally wired with Watsens up front as well, but after the Sharkskinz swap the mirrors are the only front turn signals.
- Lockhart Phillips Flushmount Turn Signals - Attached to Exhaust Cover
- Competition Werkes Integrated Tail Light

- Skidmarx Rear Hugger
- Attack Performance Rearsets
- Rizoma Folding Pegs - For street use, are swapped out for Attack Performance pegs when rearsets are raised for the track.
- Saddlemen Custom Seat - Complete with "Taint Channel." So comfortable.

- Puig Double Bubble Screen

- Powerlet Socket

- TechSpec Snakeskin Tank Grips and Tank Pad
- Rizoma Front Sprocket Cover

- 1050 Throttle Tube

Modifications Added Since Photos Below were Taken:

And here is the bike in track mode, the "DAYTONA" decal is no longer on the bellypan, although it obviously was when these pictures were taken:




And some nice shots of it with an older cousin:
