Daytec/ Harley Davidson Custom Bagger

This motorcycle was built by Phil Day of Daytec, s his ultimate comfort/ speed bike. As the owner of a major manufacturing company he had access to all the best parts, nd he took full advantage of that with this build. When the bike was delivered into mypossession it had a BRAND NEW engine and trans, Have less than 500 miles on it since. This motorcycle was featured in Hot Bike where the write up is as follows.

"If you owned one of the most successful frame manufacturing companies in the country, hat would your bike be? Well, or Phil Day, wner of Daytec, t took about one second to decide on which of his frames his personal bike would be built: a Skulker rubber mount. Why? Well, hil's idea of a short ride usually turns 200-plus miles on his odometer, nd his week-long rides will click much more than 3,000 miles. Yes, ou could say that Phil likes to ride.

With his personal ride in mind, hil walked back into the manufacturing department and wrote up a build sheet. The rubber mount would wear 34 degrees of rake in the neck, ut no stretch. Phil had a plan to build something a little different than a low-slung cruiser; he was going to build a bagger. As soon as the welds were finished, bright yellow powdercoat was applied to the frame and swingarm.

Up front, set of Custom Cycle Engineering narrow-glide trees were fit with 39mm Dyna forks to carry the 19-inch RevTech wheel and Avon Venom tire. Out back, pair of Progressive Suspension shocks support the swingarm, arrying a 16x4 RevTech wheel and 160 Avon. Stopping power comes from three Screamin' Eagle floating rotors and the four-piston GMA calipers that squeeze them.

In conjunction with his riding style, hil sourced out a motor that would be big enough for fun, ut still offer turnkey reliability. He went to TP Engineering for one of its 100-cubic-inchers. The cases, lywheels, ods, istons, ylinders, nd heads are all straight out of the TP facility. The motor uses a 42mm Mikuni, Rivera air cleaner, Crane ignition, nd a Vance and Hines 2-into-1 pipe to get all of its potential realized. Giving Phil plenty of gearing on the highways, RevTech six-speed rides behind the motor (90 mph is 3,200 rpm in Sixth), onnecting the two is a Harley chain and Rivera Pro Clutch.

With the roller up and ready, t was time to dress it up a bit. The first project was a front fender with styling that made sense on a bagger, o a low-to-the-tire, ong-skirted piece was fabricated. Just above the fender is Daytec's incredibly cool fairing. Behind it, ou find a one-piece Daytec gas tank stretched just enough to add some style to the top lines of the bike. Out back, hil and crew went crazy and built the rear fender and saddlebags to be a one-piece unit. Finally, small front spoiler was built to round out the bodywork, o the in-house paint team could take over matching the yellow powdercoat of the frame.

The bike went together without a hitch. Autometer gauges were mounted to Cycle Smith bars with Harley hand controls. Performance Machine forward controls were installed, long with a modified H-D headlamp and a Paul Yaffe taillight. A set of Lazer Star turn signals all around made the install list as well as a Daytec-built seat."
