Yes Sir, they sure will work. Anything after 2002 is the same for the 955's besides a few things here and there. For the motor, you will need to use the CDI unit from the new motor not the old... triumphrat.net is amazing for info on that. Join there, I guarentee you can find any info you need.

Yup, everything will work without a problem.

The only thing that is unique to the 02 is the front fairing and headlight, and the swingarm and suspension linkage if you have the double sided swingarm.

You say the engine is locked.... are you sure it's not just hydrolocked? How long was it down for? Have you tried removing the sparkplugs and cranking it over?

Triumphrat is a good source for info on these bikes, as is T595.net.

Also- i have 5 of them.... so it's safe to say that I know a thing or two myself.

It just "fell down", all by itself, and locked the engine and bent the forks??

Nah....i fell on it at low speed..the alternator cover was scratch the oil spilled out .when i replaced the alternator cover put the oil back the bike ran for like 2minutes n then shut down ........it never started ...a guy looked at it n told me that the engine wont make one revolution he tried to do it manually i think....but some people told me that the oild pump inside might be the problem i have to take the motor o ut n have it check ...but i really dont want to buy another engine .......

Ahhhh- the time honored question.

Wunoff, Black Widow, West coast performance all USED to make one. They no longer do.

Powermax and Wolf are the only two left that make them. I believe powermax is the cheaper of the two, and they are about 1300 bucks.

I have a Wolf that I got on Ebay. Really nice kit. Also incredibly pricey new. About 1800 bucks.

Used is your best bet, sadly.
