Description
THE BIKE SPECIALISTS, TRADING STANDARD AWARD WINNERS FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS. Bike ID: #10205 We are pleased to introduce this Triumph Daytona "Mallory" for sale. Our example started its life as a Daytona 955i and then Marling Motorcycles waved their magic wand over the bike and produced the creation we see before us today. The bike had a full strip down of existing body work, Nose cone reworked to take single headlight, Halo light, dipped and full beam, Tail unit reworked to accommodate single Conical brake light, set in and scooped out indicator seams with Thunderbird lenses.
