Tony Two Busa

[Tony Nitrous]

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.

Not 100% sure.
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$?

[BOHEMION]

dodge's Busa fighter is UNREAL. Did he use a custom tank?

[Tony Nitrous]

$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.
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.

[BOHEMION]

nice one, May be worth a look. I can see a 05 CBR1000RR seat unit looking Shmick with that Tank.

[Gix11]

Well done Tony. You got it then. Naked. No questions. Get to it.

[Razorback]

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!!

[Booster]

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!
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.

EDIT: Just had a spin across town to reregister it in my name,
It go's like a Busa should :D

[KRASH]

You make me soooooooo jealous...you have TWO and I have none...
Its the only bike I'd sell the Gixxer for:)

[Matt]

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.

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!

Think i'll be recovering from a few beers Sunday morning then starting a few jobs on the "02"
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.

[abusa]

No worries Tony happy to help

A couple pics, not the best quality as I havent had a decent chance to take any.

A abusa are you thinking of my blade leaving you at the tree?
Love those eye balls.

[abusa]

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.

[Tony Nitrous]

Wasn't planning on spending anything on it for a little while,
(or untill my wallet starts to recover :()
But.. Seeing as Rich / Ozkat etc said try Shannons Insurance,
and I got fully comp for $489, i bought a couple of "necessaries" today.
A pair of Pilot Powers and some race stand bobbins.

[Gix11]

You know it won't stop there mate............don't fight it, you know you want it.

[Tony Nitrous]

I can justify owning two bike,
but... yeah, I dont need two FAIRED bikes ;)

Need to do some homework first,
Like to use a complete rear end, subframe, bodywork, lights etc from something like an SV650 or new Z1000. adjust subframe/seat to fit busa frame.
Busa clocks are huuuuge so need to look into new"er" GSXR type clocks and naked headlight or small fairing?
Keep or re-locate oil cooler?
Ram air tubes ?
Top yoke / clamps? (aftermarket one are ugly 'cos they are designed to fit handlebars bars behind the stock fairing)

I keep reading S/F mag 126

[NakedTurboBusa]

I had one that colour once.... busas need to be stripped!!!!! now.........

[damo1]

Ah tone do ever get any info thats not in a book?
Youve always got an endless supply of pics and info from mags.
Ever get out?

[Tony Nitrous]

Damo, Im a self-confessed bike mag addict :D
Good source of info, not that i belive everything I read.
Picked up a lot of useful stuff over the years.

And, Yeah, Dont ride as much as I did a few years back,
(i've still managed to get in a few K's on my last 36 bikes)
but im well up on several ASF members if you want me to point fingers ;)

Hope one day I know something you need too,
I wont feel smug, honest, ;)

Must go.
Got a new set of Pilot Powers to scrub in [8D]

[damo1]

Good to hear old chap.
But i had to ask
