Just picked up my new toy/Project bike.
2002 Black / Blue Hayabusa.
31,000k's, Service History,
Double Bubble Iridium screen,
Custom grips and bar-ends,
Twin Yoshi cans,
2 worn-out tyres and light damage to right hand fairing lower.
Local guy from the Busa club, was getting the fairing re-painted
and sorting the tyre's out, but we did a deal where I bought it
as it stood without the jobs done, and without the rack/top-box
that was fitted.
so i suppose its NOS for the menu then???
Not 100% sure.quote:Originally posted by speeddemon

My 04 is brilliant but I want something silly to play on.
Unfaired or NOS or Dragbike or B-King or "Dodge" style, but NOT just another Ugly-Bus.
Its going to be cleaned and run around for a week or two to check it out, then see how I feel.
Dodge's 185kg/199hp Busa [8D]
top work Tony,its gotta go nakid mate.that thing of Dodge's is just sooo horny.now for the question on every1's lips...how much$?
dodge's Busa fighter is UNREAL. Did he use a custom tank?
$10,900 with a safety cert done,
(tyres just scraped through)
delivered, and with a tank of gas.
Seen cheaper, seen better, but I wanted to buy local
and the guy's in the Brissy Busa Club so its a bike i knew.
Yeah, your right Davo. It SHOULD go naked,
plus, if i go R6/SV rear subframe and tail I only need a tank to
have a spare set of panels for the 04.
Got loads of thinking to do first... wanted to keep the dash,
but its f*ckin huge and wont fit in a small bikini fairing,
Mmmm... and how to wire in new SV/GSXR clocks is beyond me!!
TTB.
Yeah, its a One-off alloy tank.quote:Originally posted by BOHEMION

I think it was made by John Williams at "The Tank Shop" in Scotland.
I remember reading it was only a couple of hundred pounds more than having ugly panels made to fill in under the stock tank.

nice one, May be worth a look. I can see a 05 CBR1000RR seat unit looking Shmick with that Tank.
Well done Tony. You got it then. Naked. No questions. Get to it.
Way to go Tony, looks like a great pick up to me.
Cant believe you didnt take the top box though.... that would have made it!!
Tony i believe the gsxr dash can be used , have to depin the busa plug and put the gsxr plug on or change the pin positions if the plugs are the same! Try asking on the US or UK busa boards as i have seen it done before!
Can't bring myself to take more than half the belly pan off mine, i'll be keen to see how it comes up in the flesh.
BTW that is the best colour scheme your playing with .
Ha ha, thats me too!quote:Originally posted by Booster

I really like my 04, thats why I have been a boring b*st*rd and only done the Cans / Screen / TRE / Polished Rims / Bolt on crap etc.
For me, they are as good as a stock bike gets.
Took me a while to get this one, but now I can build anything I like knowing I have a stocker too.
Will look into the clock swop [8D] Thanks.
Tony.J.
EDIT: Just had a spin across town to reregister it in my name,
It go's like a Busa should
You make me soooooooo jealous...you have TWO and I have none...
Its the only bike I'd sell the Gixxer for
Any noticable difference between the two Tony? Are the mechanicals etc identical?
Nothing Major, cam chain tensioner / computer for the injection / early model might have alloy subframe not steel / not much.quote:Originally posted by r1crashtestdummy

Rode both today, back to back. 04 feels smoother is a quieter motor but they both pull the same. You can tell which one your riding but I just put it down to 7500k's and new Pilots /Tri-ovals v 31,000k's and crappy tyres/ RS3Yoshi's
Brissy Busa Club night tonight,
amongst them were...
1st...Bills "King of Bling" lots of chrome,
2nd...240 rear tyre / NOS / lots trick-bits,
3rd...ASF's aBUSa's Getto Turbo with its new paint.
Need to take a camera next time!

Thanks for putting up with all my questions yet again.
Any chance of posting up a couple of pics of the Turbo in its new trim ? [8D]
Tony.J.
No worries Tony happy to help
A couple pics, not the best quality as I havent had a decent chance to take any.

Before
After
A abusa are you thinking of my blade leaving you at the tree?
Love those eye balls.
Ha Ha, thinking oh shit is that flame going to get any closer!
It was like is this sucker going to behave itself this time or try to buck me off again going down the strip!
Great choice on a fighter too Damo, Blades have always been a favourite, something about the frame shape that does it.
