The model shown above is definitely NOT a 1979 RD400F Daytona Special. The tank and side covers are from either a 1976, 1977 or 1978 model; the seat/tail section is aftermarket, as are the DG Expansion Chamber exhaust. The 1979 RD400F Daytona stock bodywork was white, and distinctively shaped differently from prior year RD400 models. | |||
The cylinder head on the below bike is also from a prior year; the 1979 head was a one-piece, with a front havig a ram-air look which was taller than the back, unlike the flat shape heads of the earlier models. The graphics on the below model are also from the non-U.S. (European) market model(s). | |||
