Hi all, Im Lee-anne. Just picked up my new 09 Daytona 675 last week. very excited! the running in part is no fun, so am looking forward to being able to ride the way i want to instead of what the sticker says. thought i would come in and say hello.

It sure is. It will make you forget all about your Gixxer on the track, too. Welcome to the true religion of triples!

Great looking bike Edonthenet!
Triumph aftermarket (and others) have (small black) neat plates to put where the passengers pegs used to be. I got it and they sort of puts the icing on the cake....

Thanks. I think all the 675's look great, just a really aggressive styling. That picture was taken in Feb when I bought my bike. I've since dumped the passenger pegs, I got some Sato rearsets for more legroom, did a DIY tail tidy and recently switched over to HID's. I haven't taken any more pics so that's why the pegs are still on even though the rear seat is gone in the pic.
As far as the passenger peg mounting I went to the auto parts and got 4 black plastic plugs with fins on the shaft that fill the holes nicely. Then a few coatings of Sharpie on the bare frame area and there's very little sign that the pegs were ever there. Just another way of cleaning up that area.
