Seems to be a better place to post a build thread..

The History..
I picked up my Daytona May 14 2014 after having had an ugly wreck on my old Yamaha... April 26, 2014 I got hit by a car on my R6... Resulted in this lovely hole in my knee.
Image


Weeks later..
Image


I was getting dicked around by insurance on the R6 and medical bills, they which eventually decided to pay out...with which I said enough of the Yamaha and went to the Daytona..

No less than a month Later I was back on a bike...I had tried to sit on my buddies 13 D675...but the stitches in my knee wouldn't let me bend it enough to get up on the rear set...later that night I pulled my own stitches out with some scissors and an automotive pick.. Refused to stay down..

And here we are...May 15th When I brought her home..

The 675R master is indeed not as powerful and lacks the same feel of the RCS unit, but it is not exactly an ill performing unit. better than a nissin without a doubt.

As for brakelines, as TWW mentioned, there is no difference in if the master is pushing 2 lines from the master (which the stock 675R does with this master), 1 down to the caliper with a cross over from the caliper (stock 06-12 Daytona) or 1 line which splits with either a block or t-fitting later model abs bikes.

personally I prefer the 1 line from the master, that splits with a T at the lower triple with one line to each caliper. but this is just a cleaner look and as mentioned by TWW easier for pulling calipers/wheel.

As for the rear mount underslung kit... yes I am running this.
depending on your rearsets, 29" is a safe measurement.. 45 degree flat bend for the master and either a 20 or 45 degree flat bend at the caliper.
I am running a 30" line and if I move the rearsets back more the line will have to much slack IMO.

Well...got some work done today when I should've been sleeping..Im back on nights at work so I have about 2 hours to catch a power nap before I gotta head off to work.

Regardless! got the Brembo front's all cleaned up!!

Y'all saw the before shot of when I first got them and how nasty they were.. Combination of a drill and some wire wheel attachments, some brake clean, tire gunk cleaner and elbow grease..and.. well, I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

Im still thinking I'll paint the rear P34 to match the fronts now.

Products used were Gold Engine Enamel from Duplicolor and a high gloss acrylic clear coat.

I could've done a better job..but...eh.. Its what I had available to me, I was debating going Red on the Brembo lettering again but.. I still might.

Image

After wire wheeling and cleaning the shit out of them..

Taped up and the first couple coats of gold down (Trying to somewhat match the OE Nissins..I think their gold is more yellow)
Image


After some sanding of the "BREMBO" logo and some clear coat...this is the part I could've done better, I needed rougher sand paper to properly break down the paint..or to have masked it off, but I didnt have any razors I could find and didn't want to run to the store again.
Image


And here they all are...Still want to paint the rear to match.
Image


Oh!! And here is my ACE Hardware Solution.
Grade 8.8 M10x 1.25 x 70mm

They look good!

I wish brembo had a matching back to the stock M4 brembo monoblocks on the Daytona... I have a gold caliper, but as it looks will be going to black.

Thanks JD! I just sent your specs on the rear line out to CoreMoto! Looks like its starting to come together!

Looked good post-cleanup and even better with the paint! :thumbup:
Thanks!!

Just sent a Message to TJ and e-mail to Ryan at CoreMoto to get the new RCS19 and Custom lines!
 
#44 ·
If you want some 675R brakelines, 2-2 from the master let me know.. Pulling mine this week for a custom set of core motor lines.
 
#46 ·
I'm having custom lines made JD but thanks bro! Appreciate the offer!

Great build thread, i like the story aspect. Keep up the good work!

Thanks!! Glad you're Enjoying it. I'll get pics of the Cowl that went on the other day :p

Found out too that my front tire is in need of replacing, which sucks cause my rear is fairly new...It caught a nail last summer so I had to get one new rear..but now..my front is almost to the wear bars..

So.... Dunlop Q3's here I come!.. just keep my rear for a track day and get a new matching front to use.

Which are the specs for the new rear brake line? Looking to get the same bracket and caliper
 
#50 ·
Last line listed.
29.5" OAL.
1 x 20* Forward bend
1 x 45* forward bend.

Call Ryan at CoreMoto and ask to duplicate my rear line. I told him others will call. :p

Or wait till it shows up and I install mine and verify its a 100% fit
 
#51 ·
Alright...did a little work today as my Master came in the other day..

Also...while pulling everything off for the new rear rotor..my buddy decided that we should powdercoat my wheels and ACTUALLY powdercoat my sub frame instead of rattle can..and to have them both be the matching Red from the D675R Subframe...so....... we stripped the wheels off and down..

Without further a due....pics..

OH NO!!! SOMETHING IS MISSING!!...oh yea...its in the box on the ground..
Image


Aaaaaaaand here is the old junk.
Image


Still waiting on the Lines (which should arrive tomorrow while I'm in Nebraska) aaaaaaaaand the Brake pads..But here's a little mock up shot.
Image


And of the rear.. With ThatKid's bracket looking FANTASTIC might I say..
Image


Mock up of the Master.. Still need to actually get it set up.. I just didn't want to pull the res. off the old brakes until I had EVERYTHING here and ready to go.. Might be an issue with the tubing from the master to the res. but..I'll figure that out.. Regardless...PIC!
Image


And off the bike..
Image


Shot of the bracket by itself..

Second Post...before I hit the Pic Per Post Limit... which I'm sure there is one.... MOVING ON!

A Different angle of the bracket..and kinda a useless picture lol
Image

..Oh...but it does show that I probably need a new chain lol...if you saw the kink...good eye.

Aaaaaaaand then this happened....
Image

Note: Yes..the bike is Scorched Yellow. Yes it's Plastidipped. Yes it's pealing. No I dont care.

Dismounted the tires and pulled all the seals, circlips and bearings out aaaaaaand cleaned up the OE Wheels...never seen them this clean haha.
Image


I definitely think somethings may be missing...
Image


Little interesting fact...Im not sure if either 1) The OEM Rotors are produced by SunStar...or 2) I have aftermarket rotors already. Either way...cool.
Image


Showing the difference between the two...and potential wicked stunt set-up?...nah... Ill crash...and cry.
Image


Front wheel...all shiny!
Image


Well..thats all... I have to be awake in 3.5 hours to go to Nebraska for a couple days... yaaaaaaaaaaaay truck driving!! booooooooo getting stuck in Wyoming for 2 days last week..

ENJOY!!
 
#54 ·
I know it Chris!! I got inspired by others threads too and its the whole reason I did mine. I also had a bunch of good information and help from other members along the way... But..time for some updates..

I just got back from Nebraska for work last night and on the way home I called my local dealer about new seals and bearings for my wheels..Nothing wrong with mine, its just suggested by the manual to replace them.. Well..I got quoted $190 after tax roughly at the dealership which I thought was bullshit..

So I went down to my local Whisler Bearing and was able to get ALL the bearings and Seals for $94 (rounded up) out the door. Whisler bearing does commercial bearings and such..so, strong products!

The Front seals I got from them were 1mm too thick and I could've gone back and exchanged the but I was already at the dealer picking up other parts I ordered..

If anybody would like the part numbers for the aftermarket bearings and seals let me know!!

But here's the first supply run.. I brought my old stuff which I labeled and bagged with me aaaaaaand picked up an Oil pan gasket, an engine bolt (that I broke..somehow) and a new oil pressure valve.
Image


Over all, thats about $200 in parts pictured..

When my header gets back from getting modified, cat deleted and new merge collector, I'm going to also drop my oil pan and see how it looks inside considering it's a used Motor I dont know exactly how it was treated..

This is going to give me a chance to install the new pressure valve, which I believe to be a maintenance item..and put a fresh gasket in there and also clean up the pan inside and out.

Figured, the header has to come off to get to the pan, so I might as well do it all at once.. which reminds me, I need to order new header exhaust manifold gaskets... dammit. It's always something..

I also had a care package from Riders Discount arrive when I was gone out of town! And it Had some goodies in it!
Image

Galfer Wave Rear Rotor.

Initial impressions... 1) Damn its thick. 2) Damn its heavy!!

I also had TJ send me some Woodcraft bar ends because I lost one of mine on a ride..it rattled out.

Interesting note on that, the factory bar weights are about 6" long..almost the entire length of the handle bars..and a pain in the ass to get out..so I'll see how the woodcraft weights feel by comparison. I'm a little concerned they might not be heavy enough..but! They put the weight at the END of the clip on and not the entire length of the bar..so we'll see.

Pics..
Image


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!! My Brake lines came from Ryan at CoreMoto while I was away too!! So I'm super excited to get it all together.
Image


However......my wheels are torn apart and going to go to powder coat on friday when I get home..

I'm also going to pull my subframe and valve cover and do those both to match. Wrinkle Red on the VC and the subframe and then High Gloss red on the wheels the same color.. This is the sample pic I'm going to bring the shop..
Image


Mean while I was the dealer... They decided to show me what just came in..

2015 Daytona 675R..... IN MATTE F**KING BLACK!!!!! So dope lookin!
Image

Image


Back to reality....my pads should arrive from Riders discount today!

Where is the pic of the rear galfer rotor?

Mine is noticeably lighter than the stocker, also sunstar makes the rotors that come on the bikes.

I posted the pic of the Galfer..

But.....update..

The brake lines WILL NOT WORK at the current length.

I matched my specs and lengths to James' bike exactly and somewhere between 06-08 and 09-12 something changed in the front end.

My rear line which matches yours too wont work JD.

I measured it all out with the bike on a steering stem stand to get the forks to the full extension and came up with COMPLETELY different measurements.

So.... I'm going to cross my fingers and hope that I can return the lines...being custom lengths I'm not very hopeful and I might have just thrown $148 down the drain..but thats the price you pay to pioneer new stuff..

Regardless... the NEW Lengths that I have are as follows..and new bends on the rear.

ORIGINAL SPECS (that may work on other 09-12's)
Right - 21"
Left - 22"
Both with 45 Forward bends on each end.

Rear - 29.5"
Forward 45 and Forward 20

Neither of these lines will work..

NEW SPECS FOR 06-08 WITH OEM FORKS
Front Left Line
Over All Length (OAL): 26.5" (with forks all the way extended) allowing for 0.5" of slack.
45* Forward bend at MC
45* Forward bend at Caliper (no other angle really guides the line to the correct place to avoid hitting the wheel)

Front right Line
OAL: 25.5"
45* Forward bend at MC
45* Forward bend at Caliper

Rear
OAL: 31" IF YOU ROUTE IT THE SAME AS ME. I'll post pics later.
20* Forward bend at MC
90* SIDE bend at Caliper.

Unfortunately I wont have it together soon... and I have to be awake for work in 2hr 45m to do a 14hr day and drive about 350 miles...so tomorrow is going to suck.

I'll Update with more info further down the road..

Big thanks to James for gettin back to me and helping get it squared away! Measuring his bike and me measuring mine to see differences.

Fork OAL is about 1.5 - 1.385" difference..

That truly sucks on the brakeline thing..
How are you routing your rear line?
stock or aftermarket rearsets?

Going with the 30" measurement i have more line that i would like to be honest, 29" would be better for my application.
Attack rearsets in most forward and down position.

Factory rear sets... and the line length is okay, its just not going to work with the forward bend the way I want it to.. So... I'm doing it different and going with 31.5" OAL with a 20* Forward on the MC and a 90* Side on the Caliper side.

Well..didn't really get much work done on my bike... mostly worked on a customer's GSXR1000.. But...just some pics from today..

Interesting difference between the Weighted Woodcraft bar end sliders I picked up off of TJ and the stock ones.. Pics of woodcrafts above...heres the massive OE's

Image


Watching MotoGP while workin on the 1000...and my poor bike sitting naked..
Image


Did add some SKUR goodies and other misc BS though..
Image

Image


Cleaned up my spare pan for when I switch the Coolant over to Engine Ice and install the modded header...going to drop the pan and poke around inside...see how it looks. Have a new Gasket from the dealer ready to go..

Debating on painting the pan..
Image

I could seriously eat off this thing.

Current projects...mine and a Customer bike.. GSXR1000
Image


Rear Sprocket boredom..made it shiney.. sure my chain is gonna tear it up..but It was caked in chain lube and dirt so I cleaned it and it stripped the coating off so..hit it with some VHT high temp and some fancy shit.
Image


Wheels, Subframe and Valve Cover are at powder coat right now.. Wrinkle Red on the Valve cover and subframe and a high gloss red on the wheels.

Probably gonna get some beer and light the fire pit at the shop and just relax.. Cant do anything till parts come in from various sources and the powder coat is done..
 
#65 ·
So what are the correct line specs?
 
#67 ·
if you have the one daytona, i would opt for a lightly used S1000RR over a new daytona.. love my daytona, but the larger size and excessive amount of HP & Torque of a literbike is just so much fun!
 
#69 ·
Well..the switch to night shifts really messed me up and I basically lost a day and as of currently I've been awake for 25hours..but thats alright!

As soon as I got off work I went to the shop and got to work..

Cleaned off the rest of the old Oil pan Gasket material, replaced the PRV with the updated version, Replaced the pan gasket with the updated windage tray style one.

Got my tires mounted, mocked up some stuff...got my subframe and valve cover back on, got a fresh drain plug washer and filter on and fresh oil in her, got the tail section mostly back together..

I dont have a wheel balancer unfortunately so I get to tear the rear back off and take it to a friend tomorrow who has the equipment, but once that is done I can get the rear wheel permanently back on the bike and get the rear brake bled and all set up...Still need a chain and/or a master link..Pretty sure the chain thats on it right now is a 525 pitch..

Regardless...not a lot of pics of the silly shit like the oil pan and whatnot or the typical oil change..but right to the good stuff!! Enjoy!

The light outside makes them look more orange than red..but they're red trust me.
Image


When I first saw them finished at Powder coat.
Image


Image


Got the new Q3's on the fun way... lol no tire machine required..
Image

Image


Closer shot of the color.
Image


Happy to get this guy on
Image


Mock up of all the rear end goods
Image


The powder coat guys matched the OEM Perfectly!!

And! Had to support Ryan with a CoreMoto sticker on the tire hugger...which funnily enough goes with my scheme, and matches my Jardine OE sticker really well!
Image


Image


Next is to get the wheels all finished so I can get the brakes on..

Then the header should get here on wednesday, Need to pick up my new gaskets from the dealer for the head to header, Get it all hooked up, balance the throttle bodies, then off to the dyno she goes to get a fresh tune on the new set up!!

Getting close...almost there.

Also want to give a huge thanks and show my appreciate for those who are supporting the build!! You guys really make it easier to justify the ridiculous expense this thing has eaten in the last few months!

And oh yea!! I almost forgot these!
Image


Image

$77 at the dealer will get you a new valve cover gasket and the 6 grommets......insane. (this is the bs im talking about lol)

So any word on the measurements for the rear brake line are for that underslung setup?
