Yes the crown as best I can tell. I am guessing and M in SC concurs that it is a failed crank seal.

Taste is subjective, but but the fact that Joe's bike, Mark's LC and Lightweight are all way cooler than this Daytona is empirical data.

So, I had a last minute surprise when I went to pickup - one oil seal was missing. I got lucky to have it in stock at local store and FINALLY got it home.

It rained going home but was trouble free nevertheless.

Still have few issues to deal with:
a. Overflow in Carbs, probably float height needs to be adjusted.
b. Left exhaust leaking.
c. 2T Oil tank seeping, still need to find ways for a fix.

All in all, very happy with end result.

HUGE thanks to:
