Daytona 955i (04->)
10 Oct 2006 21:19 |
Now I am sure throughout this forum all of this is discussed, but I thought it would be nice to get it all in one thread.
I am getting ready to fully customize an '04 Daytona 955 and I don't want to get into making too many parts. Every part that I can is going to be custom or customized!!!
Now what I am looking for is parts that are interchangable with other model and makes i.e. suzuki tl/gixxer 1000 forks can be swapped for the 955 forks. Any information would be greatly appreciated!!

Great Idea. A sort of what fits what list. perhaps it could go in the knowlege base, there must be an absolute wealth of information buried in threads which are difficult to find.

I'm up for that - would be useful.
If we all post what we know here someone ( mabye me ) can extract all the info and database it.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THINGS I'VE EITHER DONE OR COPIED OFF THIS SITE
MASTER BRAKE CYLINDERS
GSXR radial master cylinder - straight swap - improves braking
ZXR rear master cylinder - straight swap curs crap rear braking
FORK SEALS
I needed fork oil seals and found that they are exactly the same as the Honda Fireblade 900. Cost here quivalent to £16 for both seals for one fork leg.
CALIPERS
If you are looking for more stopping power I swapped on the 6 piston calipers from a Suzuki TL 1000/GSXR/Hayabusa. Direct bolt on with no fiddling.Took all of about 20 minutes one day including bleeding.Looks great and stops even better.
BRAKE PADS
FA236 EBC. Carbon Lorraine equivalent 2246. Dunlopad DP213, Ferodo FDB557, SBS624, Vesrah VD343.
Fits T5 series Trumpets, RGV250 88, GSXR 400, 600, 750, 1100, Bandit 1200 (Basically any late Suzuki with Nissin 4 pots), plus TZ250 90-95, TZ125 94 onwards and FZR 750R OW01.
So now you know. EBC 145's will fit, the only difference is the pad retaining pin hole is 8mm, compared to 8.5mm on the FA236. They'd just possibly need filing a fraction.
LEVERS
Does anyone know if levers from other bikes fit Triumphs? Do Kawasaki ZX9R levers fit Daytonas and S3s? I hope so, because I found some dog leg clutch and brake levers for '94-'97 ZX9Rs for 12.95 each. These levers aslo fit a variety of other Kawasaki models. Thanks in advance!

I think they will fit, as they use nissin hardware.

I know the Lockhart Phillips ones for the FZR1000 fit, the LP manual uses those as the cross reference

09 Feb 2005 04:24
Thanks Ben and Boing! I'd like to get the DPM ones from Jack Lilley, but those are bit beyond what I can afford at the moment.
UPSIDE DOWN FORKS
Forks are 2004 GSXR1000.
I've used 916/996 Showa items with Brembo calipers, I was able to retain the Triumph wheel as I had a new set of yokes made, allowing the forks to be set the right distance apart.
I had a sleeve/spacer made for the right fork this enabled me to use the stock wheel spindle also, it clamps up ok in the left fork.
The Ducati forks are shorter than the Triumph ones so I had the top yoke stepped to allow for this
Member Spondonash has a TL thou' USD fork on his bike, and member Steve Phillips used a gixxer thou' fork.

Do you mean my M/c Ben - in my profile under Mods. Pretty much a straight fit although I did saw off a small lug to make it position better - no big deal. Happy to meet up sometime and show you if you like.
Here's a good tip from Austrailian member Pin:
"After some asking around about fuel pumps (because I'm too much of a tight-arse to pay $400 for a Triumph part), I have found a suitable aftermarket fuel pump, for those who need to replace one....
Bosch make a pump identical to the OEM Denso one.
Part no is F005 X11 474 (Kit inc strainer). Price is ~ AUD$120...not bad, huh?
Fits straight in... same dimensions, fittings, plugs, everything! "

Ferk, me too!!! Only cost me $40, but still, that stupid difference of about 1/4" means I have to sell them off and try to find ones that fit. Bugger!
I suppose that's the drawback of e-bay - the sellers don't really have a clue what they're selling sometimes.

Mine came from a GSXR 750 around 1999 model year,look the same as the ones on the TL 1000 front end on my son's race bike,both with USD forks. These are the 6 pot Tokicos that come on a bunch of japanese bikes of the same era. I am at work right now and have no good measuring device but the bolt hole spacing appears to be aprox 90mm.
The 750/1000/Hayabusas in the same years all used the same calipers. Not so the GSXR600. Just ask for a measurement from any eBay auction.But measure the bolt spacing on your bike with something better than the childs ruler I had available.
Look just like these--
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaym.....VQQcmdZViewItem
and IIRC Kawasaki ZX7/9 are the same,these look like them

triumph ones wont work, Suzuki ones fit right on with a new top bearing (Triumph and Suzuki use the same bottom bearing) but you can't use your sterring lock or ignition barrel. others have had new top clamp made.

Being that the stock T595/955i mirrors ( up to the 2002 Daytona model upgrade ) were not the best in the world, several people have looked or done mirror swaps.
I saw in Geordie Blacketts albums that he has put on a 'Zuki K5 set, which look good...

Hi ya. i've just fitted a set of aftermarket carbon cbr1000rr mirrors to my 2000 Daytona. I needed to re-drill the lower mounting hole in the fairing but it would still be under the old mirrior bases if i wanted to refit the old ones. All i can say is that they are brilliant giving far better vision and they look the bollocks too. I think they were about £28 for the pair delivered from Canada.

The brake lever is pretty universal for most (pre-radial) Suzuki's & Kawasaki's;
The clutch lever is pretty unique however but the entire clutch perch can be replaced with a Kawa one to utilize the more commonly available OEM lever, or as I did to use CRG's.
Used Kwacker Perches are available on E-Bay but even a new one not that expensive.

I recently picked up a 04 Daytona which already had the 06 GSXR 1000 nitrite forks, radial brakes and nicest custom triple clamps. Also came with original forks, clamps and brakes. Got it real cheap cause it was modified!!!! Might need to velcro myself to the seat though under severe braking....

Hi Steve,
Shitttt its a small world, did you do the triple clamp??? Lovely bit of work , sort of looks bat like which goes well with the all black gothic look. I had been commuting every day for 10 months on my sons '99 955 and he was starting to moan about the k's I was running up on it so I saw this for grabs for just shy of $9k. Be interested to know what it cost for the gear you supplied. The original front forks,clamps and brakes ect came with the bike. Its a handfull in small tight roundabouts as it has a diablo corsa on the front and wants to dive in horizontally. Feels much more like my other sons GSXR 750 which he took off me after I stacked it.

Hey Alex, let’s just say you got a killer deal!!!! That bike was very cheap....... Usually guys that spend big on there bikes don’t sell them for a long time!!!!!
Put a 180 on the rear and you will love it, the 190 rear tends to push the front!!! It will transform the handling of your bike……….
I made the Triple clamps, front guard and lower adapter kit, I set-up the forks up for that bike. It's one of my front-ends……… Did you get the Ohlins rear shock as well?

Hey again Steve,
Yeah, I reckon I got a brilliant deal, been keeping a close eye to make sure nothing major wrong with the bike. i think the guy I got it from got a job up north and had to get some quick cash to set himself up so he stuck it on ebay over 2 days???. After a couple of months on the bike I sort of feel for him but when ya need bucks quickly!!!!!!.
After reading your reply I was straight out with a torch, but nah its the original Showa back end, still, people rarely replace them so I reckon It'll do fine. As I mentioned before I rode my sons 99 955 everyday for 10 months and the difference in the bikes is major. It really throws around like a GSXR 750, the trick will be keeping my boney arse in the saddle. In buying the bike I used up the next 5 xmases and birthdauys so I'll have to wait till the 190 on the rear wears away befor I can wack on a 180. Checked out your bikes ect, most impressive, my next purchase will be a carbon fibre rear hugger.

Ok so this thread is looking pretty useful. My questions are relating to swapping the front calipers for six pot items. there seems to be difference of opinion as to what will fit.
1. I'm looking at a set from a ZX12R, are these the same as those on the TL1000?
2. will all of these fit the t595?
3. i see the ZX12R has a 320mm disc like the t595. Is the distance between the mounting points on the fork and the disc the same in all cases when looking from the front? i.e. if i mount the calipers on the forks as normal will the disc naturally sit in t the caliper or will I need any spacing mods?
4. what about the distance between the mounting bolts?
Thanks for any advice, great thread i've made it a personal sticky.

ZX12R are radial brakes - will not fit on your T595 which have axial fitment.
The earlier post mentioned TL/GSXR/Hayabusa 6 pots:
I can't comment on the TL but know for fact that the 6 pots on the 01/02 GSXR are different from the Hayabusa in mounting - the spacing between the mounting holes is different dimension. 03+ GSXR's are radials.
It is also worth noting that those in the racing community on 01/02 GSXR 1000s they would remove the 6 pots & actually install the 4 pots from the 600/750's as performance enhancement!!! The 6 pots sure look sexier but the racers seem to have universal opinion the 4's perfromed better.

Walsi.
That would be great cheers. do you know if the discs on the t595 and ZX12R are the same thickness? Lucky you having both bikes. As big as the 12R is i've always had a soft spot, afterall there's no replacement for displacement.
D'Ecosse.
These are not radial as they're from an earlier ZX12R. As for the difference between the Hyabusa and GSXRs mounting holes, it would be nice to clarafy which fits. It sounds like it would be the GSXRs but I'm not certain. Very interesting point about the change from 6 to 4 pots for racing, I wonder why they're better? I'm not doing it to improve the brakes alone it's more just because it can be done (if it can). I have a standard 01 955i i use regularly which will remain standard but i have a previously written off t595 i'm using to learn from (avatar).
Cheers for the help guys.

I would expect that your T595 would be same as my T509 and know that the GSXR's do NOT fit on that hole spacing. (I have 2 sets of GSXR 1Ks from 02's in my garage, one of which will be going on a set Kawasaki 97 vintage ZX6R forks, which themselves are going on a ZR7 Kawa!)
If you want a really nice play project, install the USD GSXR forks on your T595! Get yourself the better forks & brakes in one package!

The GSXR fork swap is a beautiful plan but I don't think i could get the funds together for that. I still want to get a veypor VR2 to replace the clock and get the rear suspension sorted and I wouldn't mind getting the wheels painted as the silver ones on my blue 01 955i look far better than the black on the yellow 97 595.
How much did the conversion cost once you had got the GSXR front end?

Sorry about the late reply, the sun was out and the roads were dry.
ZX12R ones wont fit, the bolt spacing centre to centre on the 12 are 90mm and the Daytona are 83mm. The discs are both 5mm and the offset would appear to be the same at 16mm. This would bring into doubt whether the Busa ones would fit either as i thought they were the same as the ZX.
If you want any more info give us a shout

Speed Triple 955i (02-04)
25 Jan 2007 17:59 |
Here is a good estimate of my costs for the swap;
2005 GSXR front end (forks, triples, calipers, axle) - $600 after shipping (got really lucky on ebay)
ABM top triple - $300ish (had to have a machinist buddy grind off some bits and drill two holes larger and I reused my stock risers) I'd recommend having a custom triple made or just drilling the stock top triple or using riser clip-ons.
02-04 speed triple wheel spacer kit from Racecomp - $200ish
Steering bearings - $100ish (cheaper if you go with allballsracing)
Custom lock stop and bolts to mount it - $35 (had machinist buddy make it)
I was able to use my stock wheel and rotors but ended up upgrading my rotors to Braking Wave Rotors from PJsparts.com.

So, if you managed to get a complete front end (wheel, rotors, brakes, forks, triples), you would only need as little as the cost of the steering stem bearings (GSXR/Triumph lower with custom top).
However, most complete USD GSXR front ends go for $800+ if they include the wheel and rotors.

The Veypor VR2 only replaces the Speedo, tach, odometer. You will need LEDs for all the trouble lights and an aftermarket coolant temp guage. I found a nice simple LED bar from Motogadget for just over $100 from a streetfighter place in florida. I haven't gotten around to getting a coolant temp guage, but plan to when the weather warms up. Hoping I'll find something that is compatible with the existing wiring instead of having to install my own sensor.
I am replacing the headlights with a Puig Alien Streetfighter cockpit I'll have this weekend.
Oh, and for the VR2, it comes with a RAM mount attachment. The only problem is, if you don't want to use a RAM mount, the hardware holding the RAM mount to the unit isn't built-in to the unit and falls off as soon as you remove the RAM mount. I found this when I went to remove the RAM mount to put the VR2 in the billet case accessory, which has a bunch of holes, which makes it perfect for mounting on an aluminum plate, which is what I plan to eventually do. Right now I have it on a RAM mount attached to a bracket under the triple tree, which looks, eh.
I'll have photos when I've gotten the fairing on.

Hi guys,
My 04 daytona took a tumble earlier in the week, check out the pics in my album. Notice that the GSXR USD forks came out totally unscathed although every other bolt on bit took damage. Motor frame and swing arm all OK, except clutch cover(So that cover is there just to take the impact,Hmmm).
Even the carbon front guard got smashed to bits.
Lesson1: dont lend to son
Lesson 2: if lending to son , get full insurance on the bike.(Ouch)
So??? Do I sell off the bits, build myself a streetfighter or scrounge around for every plastic bit to rebuild. Both rims took dents but I believe the back rim is still serviceable.
Looks like I'm back to walking to work.

Jesus Alex!
Sorry to read that, shit luck or what!
Hopefully (from the pics) its all cosmetic, I'd keep it and either put it back the way you had it, or SP3/ 'fighter it. A fair amount of money had been spent on it previously, so if the front end, frame and motor are ok you have the basis of something good.
Its down to you how much you want to spend and what you want it to look like. I'm sure between Steve, a few others and e-bay you can re-incarnate it.
After mine was wreaked and while I was recovering, I took it as an opportunity to build a bike the way I wanted it.

Thanks for concern Bluseman, but it really was my son who dumped it. He's suffering with badly skinned backside from travelleing behind the bike instead of on it.
Pwered hard up and over a crest and the bike powered launched itself of the crest into a backward sumersault. The under seat cans and back light section hit first and then pitched it forward into a spin. Back right took the brunt when it came down and then it bumped and spun straight down the middle of the road. My son landed on his arse when the cans first hit so got to watch as he slid behind it sitting up. ATGATT "All the gear all the time". His brand new ICON gloves with titanium rivets on the palms, saved him a lot of skin. Unfortunately he stood up whilst still travelling faster than he could run and broke some bones in his foot.
Still, amazingly the only thing bent was the back subframe by about 4 inches. Still, the cost of all panel replacement is a small ransom!!
The ZX6R in my album was what my son built and I sold to get the Daytona.

Does anybody know for certain if replacing the instruments with a veypor or similar smaller clocks affects the MOT? are readable instruments part of the MOT? is there a minimum size? guessing not as most bikes have digital read out anyhow these days.
For the sake of keeping the information to amount of text high in this thread just one clear answer would be good.
Cheers Chaps

Your son sounds like he had a lucky escape there, it's a pity the "consumables" are so expensive in a spill like that otherwise she seems to have coped rather well considering the impact.
Good Luck and hope the lad recovers ok.

Hi ya gavin, it doesn't appear to otherwise what would be the point in fitting the veypor instead of your standard clocks as in the add. I know my mates enduro bike has passed with a small push bike style speedo with no problems. I think the law just states you must have a speedo not how big it needs to be but then we all know how pedantic some testers can be, like "your headlight doesnt have the correct dip pattern it just appears to be a flat line", just shows what some testers know

Sprint Caliper alternatives
Quote:
It appears that the S3/Daytona and the Sprints have different caliper bolt spacing.
I have a set of 06 Hayabusa calipers on my Sprint, and they fit like a glove.

fitted rear m/c off ZXR 750, i think its a popular move.
had to grind off lug on top of cylinder body & whilst bolts lined up, ZXR lugs were,nt threaded like on my T595, so used nut & bolt to secure. otherwise straightforward
definately recommend, more stopping power.....

Right,
Fitting kit for Triumph "High Pipe"
Triumph Kit - Silencer (Triumph# A9608000)
2 off Spacers M8 x 20mm long (Triumph#A9750044)
Mounting Bracket (Triumph#A9750042)
2 off Rubber Bushes (Triumph#T220619)
2 x M8 x 52mm Allen Bolts
To fit rear RH footrest - Jack Lilley SPACERKIT#1 (Outside of Triumph Kit)
2 off Spacers M8 x 20mm long
2 x M8 x 90mm Allen Bolts
So, probably cheaper to buy two sets of spacers from Triumph,and get 2 SS bolts from "Inox"!!!

I will have to see if that is true about the Buell rearsets! My roommate has a XB12 that I can use as a guinea pig . I do know that you can use '96 to '04 gixxer passenger pegs. They are stronger and easier to get!

To fix the front brakes properly fit a front radial master cyinder. (like J-Man zed). The Gixxer 1k K5 > and ZX 636 (05>), ZX-10 (06>) use the same master cyl in diff colours. If it fits the bar, you can use it. This master cylinder added to the new front end would really transform the way the 955 brakes up front.
On the 955 I had, I also replaced all the signal with smaller aftermarket units.
I neer went awau from 190 rear tyre, I dont think a 180 is going to do it justice. THe front end would now be so much better the rear needs some help keeping up.

Forks
I fitted Showa 43mm USD forks to my RS, but instead of having new yokes made,i had the original head stock stem sleaved and pressed into the the replacement bottom yoke. This means you can retain the existing bearings.the brembo calipers were retained, because its easier to shim the calipers than it is to make new mounting brackets for the nissan items. handle bars,because i required raised bars came from a ducati ST3.
Oh and you need a mudguard that will fit USD forks.

Love to see pictures of your project Mark.
No disrespect intended, nothing wrong with that method but just seems like a lot more work - agree there is no need to get custom bottom yoke anyway, but there are readily available bearings that will fit onto at least GSXR steering stem and bottom yoke (you don't say what USD fork set you used but from reference to Brembo calipers I'm assuming Ducati?) and a special bearing (also readily available) that fits the Sprint & S3/Daytona top location. Depending on which donor set you chose, the bearings may be similar, or at least just choose the appropriate new ID.
This info available on This Thread on Upside Down Forks. From first-hand knowledge, I can confirm the same bearings for both the top & bottom as referenced for the Daytona also apply to the Sprint - I've done both.
Let me know what model the donor was if you would - I'd like to check the stem diameter.
Edit - OK - I see why you swapped the steering stem - the Duc has 26mm ID bearings - almost impossible to find! I guess potentially you could always machine out the Triumph bearings from 25 to 26mm but that is about as much (or maybe more) work than swapping the stem. So does the new top yoke fit the Triumph stem?
What did you do about top yoke - did you drill the OEM from your donor forks for the risers or was this a Ducati (monster?) with the riser holes already there?? Also curious how the ignition mount works with that top yoke - does it fit?

Hey everyone. I fairly new on here but have gotten a ton of useful info from this post. There has been mention of swapping the Busa brakes onto the Daytona. I own a 2000 busa and love the bike but the front brakes seem worlds better on the Daytona. It could be because of the weight of the Busa? I would like the rear brake on my Daytona to perform a little better, well actual a lot better. My Busa has better rear brakes. I'm in the process of rebuilding tha Daytona that I just bought and need a lot of little parts and this post has give me some ideas on how to save some money and improve it's performance. Thanks for starting it. I started one in the sport section (probably the wrong section) for performance mods so if anyone has any ideas please post on it.

Busa calipers do NOT fit on a Daytona!!! They only fit Sprints (& T3's)
This is 100% certain, please ignore suggestions at the top of the thread that say they fit - they DON'T!!!!
If you want better rear brake, you can fit the Sprint Caliper, hanger & rotor - 255mm vs 220 rotor! Parts should all swap right over.
Or simpler fix (better than OEM but possibly not quite as effective as Sprint) is to fit 1/2" Kawasaki 91-95 ZX7 Master cylinder.

Daytona Clip-on Clamps
Does anyone make clip-on clamps for t595 / 955i daytonas.
The right hand one on my '99 Daytona broke by the pivot pin on saturday when I was moving it around in the garage.
Thankfully I was not riding it.
Local Triumph dealer has quoted £59 for a replacement.
Looking at the one that broke its a cheap casting and I would like to replace both sides with something machined from billet.

It has been done by a member on here - can't remember who though. I think he put a 1050 engine into a '99 SpeedTriple. As I know it, the engine will fit OK - but will require new exhaust, modified airbox, throttle bodies etc., and I'd think wiring harness and ECU - so a pretty big job
