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).
