Another pack of Newports and a huge steel fairing bracket later:

Sorry for the nighttime pics. More tomorrow, probably.

Pretty good mileage for a total of four months of riding it



It's my only vehicle. I'm glad I found a group of people who understand that a Streetfighter spends most of its life as a work in progress... we don't buy them off the floor looking pretty.

I have to move the wiring harness.
I'm going to move the fusebox behind the Cyclops, put turn signals in the SRAD ducts

How do you guys like my gauge mounting? The bar-ends need to be drilled out so the mirrors will look flush and pretty. The mirrors are okay once you get used to them but pretty much useless for anything but watching your back at a light.

After rewiring the WHOLE GOD DAMN BIKE (Jesus, Suzuki, what's with that mess?), and figuring out what to do with the front fender, the front end will be done.

So your guage cluster is on the tank? If there's no interference, a big thumbs up to ya. I like the headlights better since you moved them closer to the forks.

How many miles did it have when you got it?

 

[ab420]

Looks good man!

 

[Gixerman]

Looking real good, i like what you've done with the gauges, very diffrent

thats what we call a HEADS UP display..haha (not really) but thats close to ya face!

cant even see the mirrors in those pics. i can make out where theyre attaching but thats about all i see.

NICE! i've been thinking about what to do with your front fender for a couple of days now.

i dont know off hand but am curious if they have same mounting points as a gsxr?? that front fender is just SO DAM BIG...worse come to worse you could pull out your cutting tools. we'll find something for ya.

should actually start looking aftermarket, see if anything that fits on the busa is compatible for other bikes. may say something like:

fits busa 01-06
gsxr 1000 03-06

so on and so forth. that would be cool.

FYI the 600rr has a digital gas guage.

lol you should be a salesman

Nah, the mounting for the fender is only the same for the TL and that's not exactly an improvement.

The gauges mount in the steering stem and rest forward on the tank. It's really sick to ride it like that.

Gas gauge don't make up for a 560 pound bike

And it had zero miles on it when I bought it

I don't want to cut the fender because I might make it ugly and ruin it.

 

[929_adam]

see if you can find a salvage one or mbe somthing aftermarket??

sharkskins..hotbodies...

mbe just taking the fuckin thing off.

 

[dogbreath]

I can't take it off, I don't want water to spray all the fuck over me.

 

[dogbreath]

Here are a couple pretty pictures of my beast.
I like how wide it looks in the front, gives a bit of a different look than other fighters and makes people ask if it's a VMAX (no joke... i know the 'busa hasn't been updated in a while but it ain't no fossil)

Even the bike chainsmokes.

 

[929_adam]

good shit. keeps gettin better! i love watching the progression on this bike haelo!

:cfrocks:

 

[dogbreath]

I've got some CF stickers comin. I'm thinkin a graffiti paintjob would set this bitch off.

I have this poster of an anime style giant robot all broken down and rusted with shit missing and covered in graffiti and it makes me think...

 

[929_adam]

hmmmmm sounds like a cool idea...pics would help tho
i just saw a new exile bike in one of the chopper mags...he painted it to look all dirty and rusty and shit. pretty cool idea.

and yes you sure do have some stix coming to you.

 

[albertaf4i]

well bro if you need any help in graffiti writing or what not i may be able to help ya out since i have been doing it since i was 11.

:ttiwwop:

 

[enrico vespa]

And it had zero miles on it when I bought it

Which salvage spot did you find a busa for $1500?

Edit: did somebody say Graffiti?

PS, why is the picture so small. It's larger on photobucket.

 

[dogbreath]

I'd really love to find someone who could graffiti my bike for me.


I actually bought the bike for $1000 still in the crate.

 

[enrico vespa]

how? share these secrets. If I'm able to get my bike goin again, I'll be looking for a black framed GSXR 750 or 1000 as a second bike.
