    busa build

    ok so I should have never sold my old busa and
    had it in my head to get another one.
    picked up this one on the cheap off a mate.
    had a spare frame in the shed.
    I also had a spare tank so the build could start without taking the
    bike off the road until I need the engine out of it.
    got my hands on a vfr800 arm and the build started
    a couple of weeks back..have the arm in and by fuck was it
    some job to fit it but now that part of the build is out of the way.
    subframe will be done next week and then off to my mate
    to get the tank widened to take up the room thats between it and the frame.
    hoping to have it at the TT next year so have time on my side for the moment.






    few parts I picked up...2012 monster seat and cowl,gsxr1000 clock,hindle 4into 1 and belly pan.

    getting the linkage and shock in her right si.
    had to change the position of it...sounds not a big deal but
    a lot of trial and error before it was right.

    I'm happy that you've got another Busa on the boil Frank.
    I'm even happier you're going to fit a short tail on it.

    front upper fender bracket need to be cut off and a bracket
    made to bolt it on to the lower bracket.
