Tiny update regarding the fuel cap ;)
There is much talk around the CR750 fuel filler cap. Here is my interpretation of the situation around the fuelcaps:
The original three Daytona bikes were fitted with magnesium filler caps, to save weight. Many of the factory CR parts were cast from magnesium. Replica magnesium caps are available, but at a price of 400 :o
The kit bikes that were available from Honda, supposedly had the same chrome cap as the CB400 CB500 CB550 CB750 SL350 street bikes.
To cut a long and not very interesting story short, the plan is to use a CB750 fuel cap. Luckily the fuel caps and latch are still available from Honda :D.
So I had to find a bezel, I placed an advert on the SOHC forum for a rotten/crashed tank that was not worth repairing and came up lucky! I have drawn the bezel up, so may get one machined from stainless or aluminum but I have not decided yet:
This/a replacement bezel will be bonded onto the filler neck of the aluminum tank to replace the Monza cap.
Plans for this weekend: sort out the double disk fitment ;)
Cheers!

Scott, I'm on the double disc adaptation tomorrow - mines the later fork legs so will be slightly different to the early legs on yours

Nice ;D How are you dealing with the speedo-drive collar? I was thinking of machining one up to fit when both disks are fitted?
Cheers

I'm going to look at it tomorrow - was speaking to Simon Tappin (just ordered exhausts!) and he made up a spacer - I intend to use some tube as a mock up then have a spacer made - it will be trial and error in conjunction with previously posted guide's
