Thanks! I'll try to take some better photos of it when I get some time this weekend. I thought I would never finish it as I kept running into issues I didn't plan for. Like having to switch over to a bonneville throttle cable and controls. I did take it out for a quick shake down lap around the house and my first impressions is that this bike will me a monster in the twisties once the back end is sorted out with the proper shocks and the daytona rear wheel on it.

What are you doing for a speedometer?

Did the older 7/8" Bonny controls connect right up to the thruxton harness?

I plan on using a gps sensor speedometer.

GPS SPEEDOMETER

I believe that they did. The left hand controls came from a daytona but the kill switch was from a bonneville.

Those guage kits are awesome.

Autometer sells a gps kit that can hook up to any electric speedo they make. But after I buy the gauge and gps kit its more that the speedhut speedo.

That speedhut unit is sweet. Will it fit in the 80mm housing the stock unit sirs jn you think?

vitz · 12-16-2012, 11:59 AM

I do believe I can make it fit. I can trim off 3mm around the stock rubber gauge ring to fit the larger 3 3/8" speedhut unit. I will have to fabricate the back of the speedhut unit to attach the stock unit housing once I have the speedhut unit in hand.

Wow, that's awesome! I've seen a few CBR front end swaps but I didn't know the Daytona front end would work as well.

Did it require any custom parts to do it? Other than drilling the steering stops? New bearings?
