I had purchased a Daytona 675 to strip forks, brakes, etc. The idea behind building it was a “What could the factory have built?” I built this bike before the newer water-cooled Thruxton R came to market. What was the design concept and what influenced the build?.It’s only done a half day at the track, but it was still a blast and a TOTALLY different experience from my other track bikes The CalFab swingarm, proper race rotors and pads, 520 chain conversion was all to take it to the track. The last round of upgrades was all for the track. My street riding has significantly declined over the years and I’m doing more track days and racing. Over the last year it’s received its last few touches. I thought it was finished a few years ago after I had relocated all the electronics and put in the 988cc motor. After that I purchased a Daytona 675 to strip for parts to build a Thruxton R with the forks and brakes. It was bone stock when I bought it and then it slowly started getting farkled: fender eliminator kit, turn signals. I bought this bike a decade or so ago, having never owned or ridden a full size motorcycle before. It didn’t always start out like this in fact, this is probably Rev 4 or 5 of this bike.
