Stupid question, but i bought a daytona 6 months ago and now think i prefer the touring position of a sprint. can i modify the daytona?

Different frames and a lot of the architecture re seating position & pegs as well as the bars.

Best bet would be to install some means of rasing the bars - helibars or gilles variobars or convertibars might be among the options.
You need to be careful with that generation daytona - it doesn't take much to create interference with the fairing.

Given your location, take a run over the Rhonda to Sandy at Triumph-Ant in Merthyr.
See what he has in his incredible stockpile of Triumph bits that will achieve what you want.

see my edit above re Triumphant
I've been over to see him
My company has a facility in Newport & get over there regularly
Nice guy, very helpful - he'll explore what options are open to you
