I have been viewing this site for quite a while now and it seems there are many people out there unaware of the aftermarket parts available for the 02 and onward Daytona's and S3"s.

I thought it might be helpful if we listed our mods and some of the things we are looking for. Hopefully this will make finding aftermarket stuff easier.

My mods:

Powercommander PC3USB, This made a HUGE difference in power. I had a custom tune made and she dynoed at 134hp. I purchased mine at www.hardracing.com

520 Chain conversion
Down 1 tooth on the front and up 1 tooth in the rear. This is a MUST! The gearing is wayyy too tall on these bikes from the factory. There is no downside to this mod, I personally think it much easier to ride now. I purchased my chain sprocket combo from www.sprocketcenter.com

Rearsets. There are two brands that I have seen that are available for us in the States, Gilles and LSL. I purchased the LSL and their quality is great! I urchased mine from www.spieglerusa.com

Triumph High Mount Exhaust. This was my first mod. This can is perfect. Great sound and it is really well built. Again, I would highly recomend this to anyone. I purchased mine from www.greatbaymotorcycles.com. They have a good selection of Triumph parts.

Zero Gravity Double Buble. This is a very good quality windshield. I purchased mine from www.skyking.com

Integrated tailight. I purchased the LED tailight with the built in amber LED turn signals. This again is well worth the money. It cleans up the tail dramatically while also providing large amber turnsignalls. I purchased mine from www.clearalternatives.com

My next mod will be an undertail. I have only found 2 brands, Ermax and Powerbronze. I don't really care for the Ermax, has anyone used the powerbronze?

I hope there are some othe mods and web sites for our bikes.

Cool, sounds like a good set up.

I have done 3 things, just for looks.
Fender eliminator kit which I got from socaltriumph when I bough the bike. It was actually the Skyking kit.

Tank pad. It is motograffix black and silver.

From skyking I got the Union Jack rpm gauge face with the gauge sticker that goes around the gauges.

Tomorrow I go and get new tires. I picked up a carpentry staple from somewhere and put 2 holes in the back tire.

I want to get the Wolf High Mount can,have my dealer instal the triumph offroad program, rearsets, carbon fiber hugger. change the sprockets for more low end.

I got this from the Modifications area. They have a carbon fiber undertail that looks cool, but it is in Australia, if you like it, you can see if they ship here.
www.racecomp.com.au

and the skyking websiote you put up is wrong. it is www.skykingproducts.com

oh yeay. i would like to get a steering damper and new suspension one day. Suspension would be last on my list

I would strongly recommend under tail exhaust from South bay it is easy to install sounds great and looks incredible. it's also extremely light weight. the system is nicely mellow in lower rpms and has the roar of a banshee up through the power band. My wife approves so it is not excessively loud. I did the suspension earlier than your recommendation but hey that's me. PS new children do not a peaceful night make.

I too dropped a tooth on the front sprocket but wished I'd left it stock and added 2 to the rear instead. It seems a bit low to me now as I spend most my time out on the hwy.
I'll switch to a 520 when I wear out the stocker.
I did put on a Sprocket Specialties alloy rear on that looks great as it's a drilled bright aluminum and of course it's very light. Alloy rear sprockets have lasted well for me as I don't do much rain riding and my chain stays pretty clean and well lubed with Bel Ray Chain Wax.
Take a look at my photo and notice my front signals. They're Lockhart Phillips flush mount LED's that didn't cost much, are a direct bolt on, and the lines go really well with the bike! I then moved the front stock signals to the rear as they're an inch shorter and added Clear Alternatives lenses and their chrome bulbs.
Since we here in the US have smaller plates, I trimmed up my rear fender with a Dremel. I do still like to have something back there.
Heli Bars have the perfect rise, reach, and angle for me on this bike as well as my Duc's.
Hey, I have a neat little trick I'd like to share. Using my Dremel I cut out the bottom of my rear/pillion cowl. It really opens up a fair amount of usable space! Quite handy. :shy:

Thanks for sharing, I already ordered your turn signals, I think they look perfect.

I would love to have had an underseat exhaust but I have the DSSA.

I have been drooling over the reacecomp carbon fiber undertail but *****, that would be a pretty expensive import.

Do you have any pics of your exhaust? I am a little curious if it would work on a DSSA.

TechmanBD · 12-03-2005

Under the seat would be alright, but out of the price range for me.

this is the Wolf underseats. There aren't pics of a Daytona with DSSA but they have pics of an R1 and CBR. It can give you an idea of what it could look like.

Those look sweet, I have looked at that set up before.
