224922502251
theres no were near as much wiring to relocate my 1100w had 2 harness,s from both sides of the frame ,this has 1 small harness,,he,s me thinking il be cutting and joining,lol nope easy as this one

[nick76]

I guess a new front guard is on order.....coz that one is looking massive with the newer pointier style headlight fairing!!
Otherwise looking good!

[RevHead]

Thank you Nick ,yes the front guard is getting the flick.

[Tony Nitrous]

I trimmed the front guard down on mine,
better, but not great. GSXR's the answer.

Looking good Pete. Puts mine to shame.

How many Naked Busa's, Busa powered specials are on ASF now ?

Its the way to go.

[BANDITROD]

about 5 by my count thats inc sparts

[StuNVA]

Yeah, I just pushed the fuse boxes up behind the throttle bodies and there was already an empty screw hole there and everything, had to lengthen the LH control wires & lights. I'll get a new clutch hose too, I hate the half steel half hose one. Looking good Pete, will be interesting to see how you fit it all together.

[RevHead]

thanks guys,Ive got a lot of stuff still to turn up in the mail.i bought a brand new fuel tank to cut up.the k8 headlight and fairing ,i bought brand new as well.

[K6Thou]

[RevHead]

Fuck Pete haven't you finished this yet ????

:pahahahaha seriously ,ahahahahaha ,no really ahahahhaa

[RevHead]

ok here we go ,ive spent the weekend from friday night ,grinding and welding,bogging and rubbing,then it was etch primed the hit with 3x good coats of 2 pak primer filler ,should have paint onto the tank subframe,and guard by next saturday arvo
22902291229222932294
i fucked up a little on the right hand side and made it a little to fat around the frame ,never mind
2295229622972298

[bluedrags]

Looking good Pete .

[StuNVA]

I like that, that big gap between the tank and the frame is a major eye sore, your've done a good job filling it in.

[RevHead]

it was a pain ,,i bought .6 mig wire and had my mig onto the lowest setting of 1,so it wouldnt burn through the tank it took about 6 hours of solid welding, but i think when im done with the paint job ,itl show the benefits of my labour

[hyofighter]

that tank turned out pretty sweet pete , i can see a fair amount of time went into it , nice one

[kev@vcm]

Is it orange yet pete bwhahahahahahaahahahahaha

[RevHead]

[RevHead]

[LKC73]

Thats awesome Pete! Top work mate. Im sure alot of people are thinking this, but Im ganna come out and say it. Has someone slappped you with a creative fish around the head or something? You have really lifted your game on this bike mate unlike your 1100W fighter. I dont see any nasty looking drilled stays or anything. Looks great mate and the scollop in the side is a nice touch.

Look forward to seeing it and NFR.

[RevHead]

pmsl,thanks Luke,Well i got the bug a few weeks back,started seeing things in my mind of how i wanted it ,no one slapped me,lol.
i just kept on looking at this bloody ugly gap between the tank and frame and thought i need another tank,so what ive done is add an outter skin which doesnt make the tanks capacity any bigger ,,i thought about little add ons ,but it wouldnt do the job i wanted ,ive always wanted to try some custom metal work.

[xa-mont]

great job pete. i really like where this is going.

[RevHead]

cheers Trav

[Gitzy]

Well that looks smooove, I like it Pete..

[kev@vcm]

[K6Thou]

Why isn't this finished ? and why is this not orange ???

[RevHead]

Why isn't this finished ? and why is this not orange ???

lol

[RevHead]

2370237123722373237423752376still needs a slice n a buff ,the colour is cardinal red ,1996 ford colour,with purple pearl over the top still have to rub the fairing and paint that

[xa-mont]

looking good Pete. That's a pretty cool colour.

The tank is also a really good subtle looking way of hiding that huge gap. much more elegant solution than just covering it with something.

[RevHead]

thanks Trav,in the sun it looks reddish ,in the shade it gets real purple,

[bluedrags]

Looking good Pete.

[RevHead]

thanks Reece.

[hyofighter]

looks mint pete , tank came up tops too

[RevHead]

its not perfect ,but il cut n buff the paint in a week ,,thanks mate.

[yuma bizl]

looks great pete. cant wait to see the progress on this build mate.

[RevHead]

im trying this was today,there will be more piccis this week to follow,

[Weaselman]

No amount of buffing will get that mark out of the 3rd pic ;)

[BANDITROD]

hahahahaha .......looking good pete

[Tony Nitrous]

I looked a GPS speedo's but decided that the as I use the Clem-7
and the airport link tunnels twice a day and they are both kitted
out with speed camera's that it might not be for me !!

Let me know what its like when its set up Pete,
Im still interested and would be an interesting toy
(and I could check other clocks / speedo's)

[nick76]

I think Pete's speedo is more like a pushie one???
Do you need to charge it,or can it run off the bike?
Also,does it have a backlight? Will you be able to read it when its dark??

Edit.....i found one on eGay US
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pyle-PGPFPD5-GPS-Speedometer-Navigator-Device-/380455188439?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5894e577d7#ht_3027wt_1163

[RevHead]

[RevHead]

bought this from a german company,
2379
2380
2381

[Tony Nitrous]

Nice.

Looks similar to the ABM top yolk on my Busa.

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/5391/4matt1.jpg

[ALBI]

SPEIGLER same as my top yoke

[hyofighter]

looks like in the last pic you had the same problem as me with everything hitting the tops of the forks with drag bars , go full mega wide drag bars i dare ya

[RevHead]

SPEIGLER, it is it cost me $265 delivered from Germany,identical to yours Tony,no hyo thats just a piece of pipe straight through the risers to hold up master cylinders

[EVLZX]

That's why I want clip ons for the zrx, can bring the forks through a bit more then.

[RevHead]

on my old 1100w the forks were through the triples ,at- least 3 inches,it actually handled better ,when i pushed the forks down through the triples,i thought any-way.

You should paint the frame champagne, the same colour the red EL GT wheels were.

Like this:

[RevHead]

good call Trav , you must be a mind reader,lol

[Weaselman]

tilt the fairing foward to the line of the bottom part of the fairing is parallel to the fork leg.

[RevHead]

thanks Andy,il need to cut it as its not got much room down there,

[Jed]

Looking good Pete. I like where you're going with this

[Weaselman]

Cant you just pivot it on the bracket? Looks like you only need to make up about 3 cmhttp://www.streetfighters.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=2399&d=1346232465

[EVLZX]

on my old 1100w the forks were through the triples ,at- least 3 inches,it actually handled better ,when i pushed the forks down through the triples,i thought any-way.

Yeah it makes a huge difference on some bikes quicken up the steering

[Gix11]

Hats off to you for that tank work mate. It looks factory in the photos.

[RevHead]

thanks Si, im not really happy with the tank ,im going to have another go at it this weekend ,then re-paint it,

[RevHead]

Andy il have a look tomorrow night ,but its tight down there lol

[ALBI]

hmmmmm tight

[RevHead]

repainted the tank,now if my fuggin bars would kindly turn up from old blittey id be chuffed,
2431

[Tony Nitrous]

Bloody Hell Pete, you've put mine to shame.

I always kept the pillion seat / clocks etc as I wanted something
that was useable, take the Mrs out, weekends away etc as the
B-King is useless for that.

Soon as the 14 is on the road it'll take over those dutys
and mine can be more of a toy and less sensible.
Everytime I re-read this thread I go down the shed and stand
looking at mine. Great motivation thread Pete.

Blew up the tyres, charged the battery... it lives!!

[RevHead]

thank you Tony .Work on mine has ground to a holt as my handle bars seem to be taking a month to show up,lol.ive got a rear seat and rear pegs if the wife want to tag along,she likes1 ride a year generally to the pub with no beer ,as she has vertigo,and i cant go over 80ks,so yes i ride slow,lol,

[Tony Nitrous]

Who did you use for the bar's ?

I use B&C Express in the UK, good selection and OK prices.
Never takes a full week, normaly 4 to 5 days.

[RevHead]

I bought them through the same seller i used for my 1100w bars on ebay,i contacted him last Wednesday,he blamed the Olympics,for slowing things down. if there not here today ,il open up a case against him ,really want to ride my busa.

[RevHead]

2484gps for a speedo,mounted
2485

[hyofighter]

so i take it the bars rocked up , you gonna paint those hand gaurds ???

[RevHead]

im having 2nd thoughts on them ,i might see if they look better painted,the bars showed up on thursday morning

[RevHead]

Went for a shake down run 200k round trip ,Rode well, Felt extremely nimble ,The gps speedo worked well but couldnt keep up under hard excel-oration,And the feeling of being shot out of a cannon comes to mind when you give it a fist full in the lower gears,

[EVLZX]

Do you need an external aerial for the GPS?
Might improve it somewhat, assuming it can accept one.

[RevHead]

no it works fine,lol, when doing sane speeds its fine

[NINJAINOZ]

Looking nice, What bars are you running on the Busa? Did you have to extend any cables? I imagine the hoses would have needed to be longer?

@ Tony Nitrous, Just curious why you would buy bars from B&C Express in the UK & which bars have you bought from there?, The Renthal bars are over $100 after the conversion + postage & the postage price for stuff from the UK is usually ridiculous, What did B&C sting ya for postage to OZ?

Renthal fatbars can be bought in most bike shops for around $120+, I guess you must have a reason for buying from there, Maybe combining other items?

I have a set of FLY Aero Tapered (SX bend) bars on the way from the USA & they cost me $82 incl delivery via priority mail
http://www.flyracing.com/sites/default/files/aero%20taper%20bar%20chart.pdf

[RevHead]

i bought flat 7/8 drag bars $64 from england delivered ,and a Spiegel triple clamp, if you go this route,every thing fits ,no mods required ,
on the other hand if you go the other way risers ,fat dirt bike bars you need to buy cables etc ,i tryed fat bars and risers on my old 1100w fighter didnt feel right and looked shit as well.
hunt through ebay and have a good look around before you commit,you can find a brand new bargain

Yes. The choice, price and service in Australia is piss poor,
I use Renthal 789 Streetfighter bars, got them on my Busa, GSX1400
and on my Bandit. Cant find anyone who stocks them, or is willing to
get them in for me.

In the UK they cost £ 37.50 ( you dont pay their VAT / GST if the
good as being exported) Thats $58 AU compared to $100 at the shops
here. Not sure what P&P is but not enough to hurt the deal.

They are normaly at my door in about 4 days.

Why pay double, deal with local f#ckin retards and have crap choice?

[Tony Nitrous]

Tried to order Renthal-789 bars in Brisbane.
Gave them the correct part number and
im happy to wait and get them ordered in,

Shop's insist on getting the Renthal book out and look suprised that they
cant find a fitting for a Hayabusa!
Blank looks and head scrathing.....

Tried to sell me dirtbike bar's, I explained the dirtbike dont have room for switchgear
and this puts the mastercylinder clamps too close to the first curve so the clutch/brake
lever wont pull in square-on. Something i've had previous issue's with,
More blank looks and head scratching.....

Retard behind counter stares at Renthal book,
They (789's) are not listed !
More blank looks and head scratching.....
