So after it got knocked over and scratched up while parked in Tokoroa, fixed like new thanks to insurance (though it took 3 months), then crashed by the mechanic test riding it the day I was suppose to pick it up (car pulled out in front of him) I'm finally due to get my Daytona back. Unfortunately, its dinged, scratched, the rear subframe is twisted, and it's been de-reged. Since I've lost quite a bit of money on it already, I figure I might as well loose all the rest that I have and turn it into a track/race bike.
So I'm here looking for some advice on the do's and don'ts with the 675. I know there are some of you out there who race the Daytona's and I'm wanting to know if there are any tips that you could forward to me on necessary things to do.
What its got now:
-Suspension tweaked by Robert Taylor, disarmed most of the hydralic bumpstop on the forks, and Ohlins rear spring. Set up with the track in mind.
-PCIII with a big bore exhaust (not sure of the manufacture, but I do know that it says "Not for Road Use")
-Dunlop GP211 f & r
-GB Racing frame sliders, front axle sliders, and engine case covers
-Stock gearing
What I'm planning on doing:
-Track fairing set
-Replace the rear subframe with a straight OEM (or should I go for a aftermarket race subframe?)
-Remove the Exhaust valve and associated shit
Right now I'm looing at a budget track build, just enough to get it onto the track and run reliably. I may look at racing it in Clubman's sometime soon just to get my feet wet type of thing, but I'm not looking to do any power mods on it any time soon (the PCIII and slip-on were on it when I got it).
Also, if anyone needs some road gear for a 06-08 Daytona 675 like lights, fairings (right side fairing in mint condition, left side not so much) or anything else drop me a PM and we'll talk. Otherwise it'll get thrown up on Trademe in the near future for more than what I'll ask of KBer's.
