[xa-mont]

nice one. New is Good, but wouldn't you have got good brembo ones for about that price (i know nissin makes good gear too, but brembo is more pimper :P)

[nick76]

but wouldn't you have got good brembo ones for about that price
The better RCS brembo stuff i think woulda only cost an extra maybe $200??
You can get lower spec brembo stuff for the same sort of coin.

Personally I don't like it, I didn't like it when it was the hue of lipstick, and I still don't like it but thats just my 2c.

That said I can see that a fair amount of work has gone into it, and if your happy Pete then hats off to you....

[NINJAINOZ]

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.....


Phone B&C "No problem Mate, they're on there way"

Yeah I know the feeling, I generally buy overseas, Sometimes even if it is only saving stuff all dollars (It all adds up) but I generally get better service & none of the my shit dont stink attitude, Sometimes the postage is just as quick too compared to trying to get something ordered in here in OZ, Especially when they turn round a week or 2 later & say they cant get what you ordered or they get the wrong part cause they did not have a clue what you were talking about, When I ring my local shop for the odd Kawasaki genuine part I quote the part number when I am pricing or ordering

Every now & then you find someone that knows what your talking about, These people list the streetfighter & even some other road style bars>

Starting to take on a different shape Pete but I agree with K6 the colour is just not working, Is that brown at the front & orange at the rear? & the headlight setup is probably just not helping?

Where did ya get the master cylinders? Nice but expensive bit of gear?

[RevHead]

Burnt orange ?

ahaha no its called tiger mica,its a holden colour from 2000,the other colour is lucifers orange thats a trumpy colour,and the black isfrm a 2008 nissan black with silver pearl,

Dan i need to use the bike at night time this is why i chose such a big headlight ,plus if youve seen a busa front on with nothing in front of the frame its a wide bitch.and a little set of lights just wouldnt cut it,

[EVLZX]

Need some pics in better light Pete, bit too much glare.
What kind of paint did you use?

[RevHead]

i got the masters from an Americian mob from ebay $192 for each master and $40 for postage from the states

It's a personal taste thing Pete, simple as that. I think a busa can be a hard thing build into a fighter, and to tell you the truth I have only seen a few that I liked....

[wackyrider]

The h/light still doesn't do it for me, but as others said, you're the one who needs to like it.

Also, what's up with the wrap being white / black?

Paint is looking good, but I would have to see it in person to judge.

The busa is a hard bike to make look good. They're an ugly bulky bike to start off with.

[RevHead]

funny you should say that about the wrap ,i bought 50 metres of black and after a few rides it burnt white,lol il have to get heat proof paint and give it a hit

[NINJAINOZ]

Must be poor quality header wrap? I would not waste the paint on it, It will probably come off again anyway

The Cool it wrap is a pretty well known brand>

Yeah it looks a lot better in that pic.

[RevHead]

il buy a belly pan and get that on

[RevHead]

right today was fun ,for the past few weeks the tip over sensor kept on shutting the bike off when i laid it into bends

so i pulled the t,o,s apart and fixed it , then got out the ohms wheel to work out how to turn off the fault codes flashing on my dash ,the bike doesnt have a fuel sender anymore ,so using the ohms wheel i determined that it needed 21 ohms to get the faults codes gone and the flashing red light to fuck off ,so i made this ,one end into the sender wire the other to the frame as an earth,also fitted up a new kill switch ,and throttle set up

belly pan

[NINJAINOZ]

Looks good, The shape flows nicely up to the frame & motor especially at the back

What colour is the bellypan going to be? Just do it all black to match the tail & be done with it, Maybe add another colour (Suzuki blue) here & there on the some parts?

Brown, Tan just does not suit a modern bike like that, Or any bike really IMO

[EVLZX]

What's that white shit on there?
Slacking off a bit now aren't we?

Do it green, you know you want to

[Bob]

Looks good pete

[Tony Nitrous]

What belly pan is it Peter ?
It looks different to mine ?

2770

[Hagarr]

Geez its not that easy getting all the lines right is it?

Exhaust angle?

Headlight angle?

Always difficult looking in a photo to the real thing!

[RevHead]

Tony i did want to use the same people who ripped me off blind on my 1100w so i found there supplier and picked the same one i had on my 1100w ,the got the die-grinder out and made it fit ,heres a link to his page.

H (http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/euro-art/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686)agarr ,it is painful itl look ok when painted ,

[Tony Nitrous]

Yeah, I hear ya!

I chose mine because of the way it
came up at the back to line up with the frame.

[RevHead]

Tony, i thought long n hard about that ,as the belly pan did look good the way it fitted up to the frame ,but i like the way i cut it to fit around the headers ,il put up piccis tomorrow

[RevHead]

belly pan painted and on.

[NINJAINOZ]

I think it looks good? Cant really tell with them special effects? May as well do the rest black

Or do the back of the tank black & have the goldy colour at the front fade to black somehow? Maybe just paint the orangey bit black & go from the stripes you have there, Either way the orange is looking out of place with the gold now, Black & gold would look nice though

[mr.zxr]

Fuck what a difference. The bellypan makes everything blend together rather than looking like add ons. Looks good mate

[mr.zxr]

The other thing I would do is get rid of that exhaust wrap. It makes it look a little tacky. Maybe get it ceramic coated. I got mine done and it wasn't that expensive.

[RevHead]

im going to change a lot more yet ,its going to get a Germanic tail ,and mask soon,complete colour change ,in saying that ,ive got so much work booked in itl be a challenge to get it done though,

[Tony Nitrous]

Looks good Pete. Very nice.

Not mine, but this is a better pic of the one I used.
I liked the way it fitted up to the frame and pipe.

http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/6514/02bellypan.jpg

[RevHead]

i looked at that one ,and they only make 2x kinds of belly pans for the bus ,so i thought ,chop one up ,so i trimmed it with the good ol diegrinder ,

[Tony Nitrous]

I'm slowly building up another.
Just bought some Yoshi can's and a few other bits.
I do need a subframe/rear end but money is tight
with the new job. Might swap the stock back end off
my blue Busa and do a new rear on that. Not sure.
My Idea's and wants far exceed my ability and wallet.

Would end up being about the same price or less than the Acewell but with dash lights, Engine temp sensor & display

http://trailtech.net/vapor.html

[RevHead]

prob i see with these dashes is they cant be seen when your riding in sunny weather ,and there just to small ,trail tech is ok on a chook chaser ,i had one on my 1100w,fighter ,found it to hard to see when riding ,i had many a diff speedo on that shitta,lol

[NINJAINOZ]

Was the trailtech speedo on your 1100 sitting flat or angled?

[BANDITROD]

you lot do know that EXBEN sells acewell dash units and he always looks after ASF members

[BANDITROD]

that is what makes them hard to read you have to mount them at the proper angle oe they will be shithouse in the sun

Was the trailtech speedo on your 1100 sitting flat or angled?

[Gix11]

Yea, what Rod said about Ben:

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/showthread.php?1924-Acewell-Gauges-NEW-CHEAPER-PRICING-!-from-30-06-11

Give him a call and see what he can do for you.

[RevHead]

it was angled so i thought i could see it but when it was bright n sunny is wasn't a dash id recommend

yes i know Ben sells acewell ,thanks guys.

[RevHead]

looks great pete.. are you gonna flame the tank and tail?
ive done the rear seat cover with flames ,ive got a new tail coming that il fit ,il wait till after NFR before i fit it, cheers

[NINJAINOZ]

Flaming bloody hell!!!

Looks better than the tan goldy orangey stuff that was on there, I think gold or tan colours belong on 70's bikes, Not sure the flames are really gonna suit it but we will see when its together?

[RevHead]

thanks fella

Not sure about the colour of the tail though,
might be better in Blue. I could sent you a

[EVLZX]

Looking nice Pete.

Yeah what Bandit said, Cut the Yoshi & make a snazzier exhaust hanger out of some sheet aluminium or something?

Here is an expensive one you can chop up, These are $500+ in OZ arent they?>
EBAY YOSHI!!!

I see you got rid of the flames too? It might have been a bit too 70's sportster looking for a modern bike, Almost would have needed whitewall tyres

These flames blend the red & black together nicely

http://www.badbaran.com/motorcycles/motorcycle_images/hayabusa/hayabusa700.jpg

[RevHead]

ok ,il explain it to you guys why i am not cutting up the exhaust,
1,i like the feel of the engine
2, cutting the can and making it short ,means i lose all the engines torque
3, i have already try,ed it with a shorty ,it was hideous and went no were,
4, you rev the crap out of it and it does not go,
5, i am changing the tail soon and have diff plans for the exhaust,
Im not worried about chopping up both my yoshi,cans, which i am going to do soon enough

[Bob]

Colour looks much better pete. Top job.

[NINJAINOZ]

I know more back pressure or the correct back pressure can increase the torque but your motor is also made to rev which im sure you do, Im sure you would gain a bit in the mid to high rev range with a bit more exhaust flow - Less back pressure?

The thing with more noise / louder exhausts is people tend to rev it less because they hear more noise, This may be the case?
This is the same with cars, I have been an automotive exhaust fitter for almost 10 years now (On & off, Not currently) & test driven a few different cars & even lots of diesel 4WD's even that get there exhausts done for better performance & even better fuel economy, There is a limit to the noise needed though & I know that noise does not equal power but having good flow does

[EVLZX]

Honestly speaking in regards to my zx14 I don't spend much time at all in the high rev range, there's just very few places where you can use it.
Opening it up is just not practicle, unless you have unlimited points and a large bank account.
I have the shift light set at 8k and I rarely see it.

[NINJAINOZ]

Yeah good point, There happens to be a gold (Front) & black (rear) Hayabusa up the road from me, Dont know the bloke & he has not had it long, It is damn loud & not sure what muffler he has cause I barely get to see it when he goes past

[RevHead]

the bloke over the road has a factory black 05 busa with carbon cans onit and it sounds like thunder when he guns it down the street ,i deleted the 4into2 because after a ride i was deaf for a few hours,plus being known by every cop with in 100k in every direction of my house or workshop kind of puts the brakes on me having a blast or aloud bike now,i keep it quiet then when i do give it a squirt those toss pots cant hear me ,the hardest thing is trying to ride it with 1 wheel up ,its great fun on big take offs

[BANDITROD]

thanks ninja im all over that pipe now hahahaha

[NINJAINOZ]

There is too many goodies like that on Ebay, Fuck buying retail

[Tony Nitrous]

Ran full length twin Yoshi's on my past Busa's,
same on current one, just bought some off BigKev for my next one.

Bike's with shorty's I've ridden or ridden with had no major gain's,
on long run's pissed me off, and attracted way too much attention.

Funny enough the guy's I struggle to keep up with have very quiet
S1000RR's or ZX10R's. The noisey attention seekers get left behind.




..... and Happy Birthday Pete.
