Sen being the great bloke that he is sold me his 99 gen 1 busa ,ive never ridden a hayabusa,only chased quiet a few.after chasing Tex O GRADY ,then MONO,I made the hard choice to sell my gsxr1100 ,which id owned for 4 years now,and pretty much built from great ideas from a lot of great blokes here on ASF,So now its time to start a new build thread,parts are on order. so let the good times begin.

So what's the plan with this one Pete?
Copper / Bronze 99's are getting collectable.
I'd like one.
Not much changed on the Gen1's, the ECU's got better
and the subframes changed from alloy (a few cracked) to steel.
99/2000 models arent speed restricted.
Down fall on the Gen1's for me, are the 6-pots.
Good fluid, pads and hoses make them average.
Rad guards are worth having. I've damaged two
rads and my guards are getting dented to f#ck.
ive been thinking of k8,9 tail as i can get a custom subframe to suit from the states,plus ive bought a full titanium exhaust
The seppo GSXR tail conversion I saw used a stock GSXR subframe.
What you bought were the adapter plates to fit it. Not cheap as
they only sold the as a kit with the Corbin seat as neither the Busa
or the GSXR seat would fit. Been done several times, someone has
done it on this forum too, but i think it was without the kit. DIY.
me too this was very tempting and took all my power to not buy and ill say it on this foraOriginally Posted by Tony Nitrous
almost criminal to modify...
I can handle pain until it hurts.
Yeah, I thought about it too.
I have a brand new unused factory screen,
a brand new unused pair of original can's.
Just needs a seat hump, as that one has been cut so they can
leave the grab rail on with the hump. Im not a fan of that.
Mine was a light damaged 02. I'd have left a clean 99 alone.
dont have a fit guys, im going to cut it up,

Bugger!
... and I was hoping you'd be selling some parts !
Glad it went to a good home mate.
Look forward to seeing the goodies you're putting on it!
Also, like we talked about on phone, this is how well a Gen 2 tail suits a Gen 1 busa (though it's a personal taste thing, still). It's a direct bolt-on too.
This is how I wanted to do the tail/seat (ignore the chrome!)
hey Cal that gen 2 bum looks great better then i thought ,um what to do ,lol
Go the gen 2 tail Pete.
Second that brother that looks smart.
"I call it a Camberwell carrot as I invented it in Camberwell and it looks alot like a carrot"
You've motivated me Pete.
Just put the battery charger on mine,
started it, air in the tyres, lubed the chain,
thought "I really should get back into it".
Thanks !
Your welcome Tony ,
im searching Ebay for a new or used gen 2 tail and subframe
I like either tail mate, it will lok cool when your done.
Ladies and Gentelmen, take my advise. "Pull down your pants and slide on the ice."
Nice one pete !
Glad the bike stayed in the family so to speak.
They have a very similar feel to the GSXR11, just lighter and much, much more power.
Just don't get into the habit of smacking it past 180 too often.

ive spoken to a dealer who confirmed the bike had a recall done to replace the timing chain and tentioner ,way back in 2000
i used to push my 1100 all the time ,on another note ,like you said its easy to speed on it ,and also to carry an extra 50mph everywhere ,ive got to set up the forks and the rears shock ,as its a tad soft for my likes ,but it tracks so well,today i went out and took it easy to Dorrigo is a great twisty bit of road ,then on the way back i opened it up to see if i was good enough for the bike ,i got one hell of a sore neck ,also ,the brakes just dont cut it ,what would you recommend for calipers,and should i go for a wave discs ,

Sen ive already done the GEN II conversion on mine last yr and its a good mod get heaps of convo's about it and its a straight swap
I've seen a couple done the other way too.
Gen1 tail onto Gen2 Busa.
Gen1 has less panels, and has cleaner lines.
Not sure if it gives more tyre clearance on stretched
and lowered race bikes due to being flater and not having
the "curved" Gen2 underside ? Maybe ?
