Bike painting project or "How I joined the dark side"
From beginning to end...
accumulated parts off eBay
bodywork back from painting, I'd just applied the Daytona decals
final assembly in progress... transferring inside trim panels from old body work, tank cap and petcock to new tank, applying decals,
reattaching turn signals, windshield, mirrors, and a hundred nuts, bolts, washers, & screws
Hi all, I've now qualified for yet another segment of Rat.net. Just picked up a lovely 1995 Super 3. Only 4700 original miles, and in great shape. Indigo exhaust, K&N's, smoked screen and flush indicators are the only mods. Took it out for the first time on a brisk 40 degree day yesterday and thrilled to bits. I think I'm done adding to the stable for a while now!

Sorry, rather not say what I paid. But it was a local bike with records, new rubber and was maintained properly, and the owner was a stand up guy, so it made the price and transaction worth it.
Hey I respect that.
I was only curious because I have a '95 Super III in my collection with less than 7k miles that I may have to let go due to a job change/relocation (and I was wondering what kind of price to put on it).
Thanks.
Here is mine,
Apparently this is 1 of 12 made by Triumph to display in there showrooms in the UK.
Its fully chromed including Swing arm, Frame and wheels.
Without any form, or even the mildest hint of the minutest doubt.....by far the best shape of all the Daytona family tree !!!!!! :blowkiss I do not expect any opposition to this point !!!!!! As there is clearly no argument to be had.....oke
Nice one Diarmuid, of course I realise you are duty bound to have that colour coming from the beautiful green Ireland, which.......do not get me wrong is nice, however, silver will always be the most beautiful and, as you might realise the quickest by far !!!!! :FunnyFace
The Daytona 1200 Special Edition Registry:
In 1998, a year after going out of production, Triumph re-launched the 1200 Daytona as a limited production run of only 250.
It was in black and gold and had the 6 pot calipers from the Super III. Each one had its own numbered plate on the headstock...
Was given the idea (jokingly) by the old man about putting a 1050 engine in my Daytona as mine is on its last legs and knocking very bad. Would just like to pick some peoples brains and see if this is actually possible frame sizes and mounting points etc ??
Cheers
I was not able to locate a lot of information on rebuilding my 2002 Daytona 955i DSSA shock on this forum, or on the net. So thought I would post a few things from my experience this weekend.
Rebuilding the main shock is very straight forward, and just like doing any SHOWA shock. You can...
Can anybody help?
I have a 2000 Daytona 955i which has "fixed" wing mirrors, i.e cannot be folded back when not in use.
Does anybody know where I can get the type that fold back, which I think were fitted to the later type Daytona?
