This thing is sick. No frills, bare bones, my kinda bike. Very nice.

Nice! I am envious! Will be forwarding to a bud that had a 97 Daytona (he is also in Germany).

What is the source for the instrument panel? Nice job on the faded out paint work.

Nice job! I like the minimalist look to the rear end. Wouldn't want to be going too far on that seat though!

I'd like to see some better pics of the forks - hard to tell what's going on there? They look to be OEM but are those some kind of covers or ???

Wow, just wow. What a great design. The exhaust looks really cool.

My only critique, small one at that, would be to replace the chrome bits on the rear wheel. Line of sight from front to back is black: black wheel, black forks, black frame, black rear wheel. IMHO-the chrome just look out of place.

Can we get some additional pics?

Hopefully the OP is still following this thread - it's a couple of weeks old & was originally in the mods/workshop forum. I moved it here (with forwarding link of course) as I felt it was more appropriate anyway and good chance it would have been missed by the Daytona community.
