Oh shit Stu I forgot the spacer has to fit in the dust seal, I'll send you a correct one on Monday.

Dont know how I havent been following this build but Nice work I like it
Na don't worry about it, I'll get it sorted here and grab a new seal when I do, unless you have one laying around.Originally Posted by EXBEN
Not much to update, new exhaust hanger, front mudguard and some electrical work around the dash, still not happy with the wiring but it will do for a while, ram air ducks are being made and then it's a coat of paint.
I'm thinking black at the front fading to a dark green but open to suggestions.
Not much happening with the Busa lately, I've been waiting for the ram air cover to come before painting it.
Anyone got any thoughts on colour ?
The Tuono and DR are gone.

Orange?? lol
I reckon it'll need more than just the one colour......two maybe three??
Black/Blue??
Also,nice KTM........wish i hadn't sold my 690SM-R when i did.
Singles are under appreciated......they fly thru bends!!
Very nice. Had my 690SM for 4 years and still puts a smile on the dial every time I ride it.
Not the Tuono you said you won't ever sell it !!
Aren't they suppose to be ORANGE
Yes...KTMs.........not Busa's!
I spent too much on it making it close to the bike it should have been, it simply frustrated me in the end, someone will get a good buy and a great bike but I'd simply gotten sick of it...........and the Busa is a better bike for what I do, (Tourer / Drags) and the baby Duke will do everything else.
Is the KTM as much fun as it looks?

I hate being bipolar, its awesome!
It's a fucking hoot around town, I haven't gotten to the twisties with it yet, soon. I done some stupid, ham fisted, corners through town the other day and it just hung on, it didn't even feel like breaking out, I just giggled like a dipshit in my helmet.
This made me laugh mate, we need video dammit !
I agree, hard to find just one bike to do all.
Well I watched a couple of Youtube clips on spray painting and thought fuck it I'll have a crack it.
It's rough, but I learned a lot doing it.
The colour was supposed to be near black with just a hint of green.......it's fucking green as, so I'll be changing it to what I want when I get around to it again.
Pulling the plastics and tank off.
Plastic primer and filler primer on. I had a drama getting the primer through the spray gun so I found an old gun I had and it flowed through that much better.
I kept using the old spray gun on the base coat, big mistake, it kind of fucked it up and by the time I figured it out and went back to the new gun I'd used a heap more base coat than I thought I should have. The paint is not thick enough in some places, it looks poxy.
So as I'd made up my mind that the job had to be done again I decided to put it back together so I could ride it tomorrow.

I left the front mudguard black, I think I'll paint it too on the next round.
Looks OK Stu. Are you sure there's Black in there though? I think someone was having a lend of you.
