Thanks! , exactly what I need it to know

so..do you think a front end swap will it go ? like the daytona's forks-trees to the spyder frame
and Daytona's rear fender to the spyder ..I'll swap the tank also.

I read the rear shocks are adjustable (will compensate the front end going low?)

The spyder is way more popular being in production for some time now, easier to pickup a used specimen against the daytona, too new! , found only 1 dealer around here, and they are asking for a not so holy price.

I'll defo go for spoke wheel perhaps if possible.

Have you checked the KIKKER 5150, Hardknock bobbers ?
Its a chinese engine into a rigid frame, something like the Leonart Bobber (RR in Spain) or the JPM (RR in USA) but single cylinder 200cc , and more low tech.(I really like the 2 exaust system of the RR! , its like a "Triumph Bonneville America mini-me" . (I always liked the old chopped Triumph's 350)
Didn't find anybody selling this kit (KIKKER 5150) around so importing from the USA will put the costs up and it may not be "budget" anymore.

In the other Hand I remember riding a friends rigid and I'm not sure is suitable for the SA roads. Will need to have the tyre pressure very low and a 200cc sounds small for this matter.

Anyway looks like the RR project makes more sense and perhaps more fun in the project.

I love the research part. LOL !

Thanks again for your Review and the extra info , !

Again, great forum!
