Daytona 650-PROJECT Cherry Bomb 88 (Cafe Fighter)

So It all started with me wanting an upgrade from my secca II and i came across this baby with only 6,000 miles and wrecked but not far its pristine condition it once was.......


It was missing lower fairings and tail as well as cracked middle fairings But i was determined to get it back to its true state

Bought a tail for it on Fleabay!

And then This happened!!!


This was in January when a f150 backed up into me at a stop sign!!!
But it was here i realized the bikes full potential as a naked bike!!!
My Goal for the bike is to be a Modern cafe British racer that it is!


So I want to do the following
LSL headlight
custom instrument bracket
rewiring of the fuse box and etc to tuck in under the tank
front mudgaurd
Asv levers
larger rear sprocket 47t would suffice
frame sliders


I had opted to go to round headlight because it was cheaper but will go to the LSL headlights when funds allow
But as of now here is what i have done so far from Feb




went down on it recently so engine cover is on order!
Im also looking for a stone guard for the head light and a
thruxton fly screen for longer trips

Im also interested in going to the Single swing arm

OTHER PARTS NEEDED:
Tail
Red Tank(no nicks)
passenger bracket/exhaust hanger
Extra subframe


well here is my build thread guys Sit back and Enjoy!!!!!
And any help would be greatly appreciated




Question for you all!!!!
Does the speed triple swing arm bolt right up? and adjustments or mods to be made?

Looks great, but I don't see the cafe part.

Some sort of mesh cover for the airflow holes would make it nicer (and provide a bit of protection?)

Keep us posted on progress. By the way was asking on another thread about the effects of removing the air intake snorkels from a speed 4. Have you noticed any difference in performance since modding yours? I'm told it would be very slight.
