At the Daytona booth at the recent Osaka Motorcycle Show, a custom vehicle based on the Eliminator was on display. Some parts were displayed for reference, but many parts that are actually on sale were also used.
Let's check it out.
Customized eliminators from head to toe.
The Kawasaki Eliminator is a middle-class American cruiser introduced in 2023. It is equipped with a 398cc parallel twin-cylinder engine similar to that of the NINJA 400 and is also the first Kawasaki 400cc model equipped with ETC as standard equipment.
Perhaps due to the long-standing lack of a domestic American lineup, the Eliminator has shown no signs of waning in popularity since its launch last year. Motorcycle accessory manufacturer Daytona has boldly customized such an Eliminator!
Daytona is one of the manufacturers that has been focusing on Eliminator-specific parts, launching several exclusive custom parts at about the same time that the Eliminator was launched. The custom parts were full of attention to detail that we have come to expect from Daytona.
From the front fender to the rear cowl, almost the entire exterior was custom!
The front cowl, a reference exhibit, has a different coloring than the SE's factory cowl.
The holes in the inner tube cover are reminiscent of heat dissipation holes on a firearm. Best match for the fork boots that are OEM-equipped on the SE.
Zeta brake levers and PREMIUM ZONE master cylinder caps create a martial masculine look
HIGHSIDER bar-end mirrors and diamond-pattern GRIPPY GRIP push the street feel
The silhouette is reminiscent of the Eliminator series of yesteryear, thanks to the console-mounted on top of the tank. The handlebar area with velvet risers and wide drag bars looks very badass.
Custom engine sliders, case covers, and footpegs. Note the undercowl, which was not even on the current Eliminator SE.
The machined chain cover fits nicely into the lowered rear shock of the reference exhibit.
Diamond-shaped stitching gives it a luxurious look. Looks and feels comfortable to sit on.
The rear fender is marked "DAYTONA" in large letters. The fenderless kit on display for reference is equipped with Proton TWO high-sider blinkers.
The exhaust is equipped with Moriwaki's CROSS TWIN BLACK. The affinity with Daytona's custom eliminator is quite high.
Here is a list of the parts used in this project. Some parts are not listed, but it is still quite a lot!
Many of the parts may have stuck out to Eliminator users. Many of the parts are available for purchase, so why don't you enjoy customizing your car with reference to Daytona's Eliminator?
