There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I'm not sure about this, but I believe that the term "Limited" is more of a marketing tool, than part of the production schedule... :dontknow:
I haven't heard of anybody having trouble in finding one! :thumbup:

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone was ever able to figure out how many of these Daytona's were made? I have found one and am considering it for solo riding. I currently use the wife's 2016 F3L Special Series for solo duty, but I'm thinking this would be nice, and the wife can still ride it when she wants to. I'm just not sure how much I will miss those saddle bags on the current one.

Have never been able to get #’s on the Daytonas. Mine was produced in June 2016 w/ s/n ending in …000047.
As for missing the saddlebags of the Limited, I bought the IPS Pack Rack from Lamonster, and bolted an Apache case to it. Then later bolted some aluminum angles to install a flat rack between the Apache case and the rider’s backrest, on which the helmet is sitting in the pic below. When traveling, I throw a waterproof duffel bag on this added rack. Plenty of storage that way. The whole thing removes in about two minutes, and can be left in the hotel room to get you back to that muscular, minimalistic look for shorter cruises.
My wife bought a set of Viking hard removable side cases for her F3-S. Looks good w/ and w/o the cases attached, but pretty spendy.

Thanks for the reply. I cannot tell from the pictures, but do you still have the drag bars on yours, and if so, how does that feel? I have long arms, so it shouldn't be a problem, but not sure. Again, I am just kicking around some ideas.

I do still run the drag bars. I have since acquired a set of std bars, but I would still need to order other pieces to mount them. But I probably never will change them. I am 6’1”, wear 34” in-seam jeans, and still have my rider’s pegs at position 3. It works for me. I do lean just a tad forward off my backrest with my hands out on the grips, but many times on the superslabs with the cruise control on, I have my hands INBOARD of the left and right handlebar control units, i.e. on the naked bar. This allows me to lean back a little more for more comfort. The bike looks so much better with drag bars, and it’s an acceptable riding position for me. I like mine being an SM6, also.
