lol... I've got an 01 TT with the silver frame and wheels, I'd love some black wheels off an S4 or something!

Thats a direct fit. 600TT and S4 use the exact same set up. Just finding a set is all you have to do.

Good luck finding a fit. I never did, although I scrounged around for a long time. The only swaps are the other four cylinder Triumphs, fronts from similar vintage Daytona and S3 (different disks if I remember right), and the rear from a 2002 DSSA Daytona fits. It might be wider, so you should check it before you assume I know exactly what I am talking about. It has been a while. I finally gave up.

with enough shims and machining, it's all good.

You could probably machine the cush drive and some spacers from something else to fit the back end. With some minor changes to bearings, it would work. As for the front, as long as your disk is the same size and the same offset (and measurement between them through the wheel), anything's possible. You'd certainly lose your speedo drive, but if it isn't already broken it soon will be, so making it work is up to you.

Go nuts, take measurement and let us know what works.

What type are you looking for? Spoked like a supermoto? Dymag or a marchessni wheel like a duc?

Will, i don't think you gave up - i think you finally found the wheels you'd been looking for, just so happens they had a Daytona 675 attached to them .

Well, my 675 won't win any beauty contests right now! It is in full end of winter grime mode.
