Will, you're correct on the different rotors for the liter Daytonas and S3's. If I recall correctly, the larger bikes are a 5 bolt pattern as apposed to the TT600/S4/D600/650 6 bolt. The dish backspacing might be different also. Also, you would have to find a wheel that used a rotor of the same or close to the same diameter, else you will have to do some sort of spacing out or in of the Triumph calipers (in being impossible). Another thing to remember is axle diameters. Although if the difference between one make's axle size to the TT600/S4/D600/650 20mm axle is only 1 or 2 mm, different bearings might suffice. However, like some GSXR wheels, the 25mm axle just won't jive well with 20mm holes in the Triumph forks.

The loss of the stock speedo and the need to build a spacer will definitely present another issue. Unless you have a lathe and mill, or know a machinist who will work for cheap, or have a fat wallet to pay a machinist who won't work for cheap, the task of swapping different make wheels onto a TT600/S4 would seem daunting and too expensive to me--not to say it can't be done.
