    Project Busa complete - For the moment

    After some three months or so, I have finally finished the mods to the Busa at a cost of alot of $$$'s...

    Ok, I have a few tweaks to do but here is "done" list..

    • Replace stock exhausts with Yoshi 4-2-1 (full system)
    • K&N Airfilter
    • Airbox Mod
    • Iridium Sparkplugs
    • TRE (Timing Retard Eliminator)
    • New paint job on all fairings - Metallic black with flecks of blue in direct sunlight
    • Wheels repainted - Semi-gloss black
    • New wheel bearings (front & rear)
    • New Engine and rear sprocket
    • New X Ring chain
    • New Michelin M3's front and rear
    • Re-Upholstered seat with the hayabusa logo embroided on the pillion seat
    • Power Commander should be here this week and is the "missing piece"


    The short story is now..
    THIS BIKE IS F**** SCARY!!!

    It's been a rough day. I got up this morning, put on a shirt and a button fell off.
    As I ran out the door, I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off.
    Now I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.

    If M1CRO finds this bike F***ing scary then his reaction to fear is to produce a grin so wide the top of his head starts to fall off.

    Gorgeous piece of kit - paint job looks better in the flesh - photos don't quite do it justice.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    Must admit it is fun but still scary especially mid-upper range...
    All in the wrist at the end of the day..
    Still wheelstands nicely tho

    That is the third pack-rack thus far.. Pillions keep bending the damn thing when the front wheel reaches for the sky Has to stay.. cheaper than losing pillions

    Ooooh, gotta love those Busas.. Looks like a real nice job on the paint..
    Where were the photos taken?
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    Great photos. I think Hayabusa look real good front on, and the Black makes it look exceptionally good

    Thanks
    Its better in the direct sunlight.. Flecks of blue that come through are awesome

    Just need some decent decals to off-set it a bit..
    Will hunt around the net

    Thanks for that
    Have no idea's what the plane is sorry.. Not my scene..
    But it seemed appropiate to have it as a backdrop
    CaN may know his planes?
