Now that's a tidy job. I'm sure the Kwaka purists will have something else to say though......

I like it.

Classic looks/shape/Style,
A full-on motor,
Decent spec Brakes/Forks/wheels etc.

The sort of bike the YamaSuzuKawaHonda
should build but never do.

Yeah, but what a great "Street-sleeper" for sneaking
up on folk with. No-one will ever expect it to be quick
if they think its a Kawasaki... then...
WHAM!
You've been Busa'd :D

Should have painted the engine black as well.

I like it. The big hole left where the carbies once sat is screaming for a supercharger.

The Kawabusa is in the lastest Rapid Bikes mag with heaps more pics, one of the few stories that I found interesting.

Cheers Rich

love the know how to fit the engine in the frame but couldnt he put the same mini blinkers on the front as the back?

and who needs a busa engine anyway, the zrx is a already a sleeper of a bike, scares the shit out of the litre boys up to 120, but when you have over 100lb of torque at the rear wheel it will do that

Seems to work pretty well in that frame,I think, the rad and oilcooler sit a bit higher than a standard Hirebus.
What is the rear suspension?
A mate has a ZRX12 and it get's along pretty well with a K&N filter and a pipe.
