    Hi,

    My name is Mark, and I live in Arlington Texas. I have a 2002 955i Daytona I am putting back together that I bought from a gentleman who had a low speed wreck, crashing into his neighbor who had backed out of his driveway without looking. I have all the bodywork painted with new decals, with the exception of the belly panel. Triumph lists the belly panel for all the second generation Daytonas, but the parts diagrams I have found so far do not show one. I guess maybe because they are not available, The part number is t2302903JD for the Caspian Blue belly panel, but I will settle for any color if I can find a decent one. They don't exactly give away that Caspian Blue color paint though.

    The bike ran well when I bought it, but it was slightly over 12,000, it's first real service interval. The previous owner had replaced the forks, but one side had a leaking seal. I pulled the tubes apart. Apparently he had run the fork oil quite low because the bushings were very worn, so I installed the bushing kit with new seals. I re-wired the regulator straight to the battery and installed the segment of wire from the stator to regulator that had larger gauge wire, and installed a ("Rick's") stator and regulator. I also cleaned the injectors and put in new spark plugs. It's going to be a beauty once again. I am one belly panel and a battery ( I want one with high cranking amps ). If anyone knows of a belly pan that's available, I would appreciate it ! Thank YOU for the Add !

    @MarkF Welcome to the family. Should be a great rebuild and hope someone comes up trumps for you. Do complete your restoration on the projects section with pics and we can all take the journey with you.
