Not sure why he's calling it a Daytona since the frame is from a '76. No title.

Oh no it's back and rebranded as the Daytona. I think this maybe the second attempt to sell it on Ebay as I posted a link to it a while ago. I just thought it was a cool restomod and really didn't realize how much of Frankenbike it is. Still digging it but way too far away from me and probably a real hassle to register and maybe just too much money. I see it as more of a inspiration to do my own, maybe...

You posted this one before? Do you recall how long ago?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. Totally forgot about this thread and it was only 2 months ago. (I even edited the link! )

Yeah sweet, LOL. Well I do really like the bike alot. Not sure why but I just bet it's a beast to ride and looks the part. I think even if I wanted to build something like this though I would have to have cheap access to some key parts like the frame, suspension, wheels and engine to make it sensible. Mostly the case is not at least for me and to that effect I'd be better off just improving on what I got. Just saying ...sometimes I feel bad being overly critical but I guess that's part of the fun of pasting these ads here and figuratively kicking tires.

Lotta cool bits but the pipes must not be for that frame. I'd sure like them to tuck under much tighter but should be fine in a straight line.
