Turbo Busa Project

[Large]

A bloke on another forum has isn't satisfied with his turbo GSXR1000, so he's using the remains of a Busa that his brother punched into the side of a bus to make a Turbo Busa with a one off frame that'll look something like

[Large]

Now we've all heard these great ideas that people have for specials, but check out the workmanship that's gone into the swingarm/suspension mount part of the frame.

The guy who owns it isn't building it and he reckons the guy doing the work is a reclusive genious who doesn't want everyone hassling him to get work done.

Having said that, I'm fourth in line if he does change his mind:D

[Booster]

Thats a very good start

[latheboy]

Damn thats some nice work

[MOOSE69]

Looks expensive but hey , ya cant take it with ya!

[fimpBIKES]

oooh yeah

thats some swarf-tastic shit right there!!!

[Gix11]

Fuck me! It's gotta be happy with that result. What site? Country? Forum? Blah blah....

[zx12argh]

no fair - i want a cnc mill!
thats fucking awesome - love the webbing on the inside of the swinger mount.

[outlaw6660]

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!
What nice made "hardcore" billet parts!!!!

You dont need a CNC it just makes it a hell of a lot quicker and easier .. I want one too;):D

[Booster]

Ivan you know the motors and controllers can be brought to convert a std lathe and mill to programmable, not that expensive.

any more info? links?

[Booster]

A mate in SYD did it , i'll get some details
First thing he did was a ball end on a piece of rod, worked perfect !

[Large]

I've seen plans and kits for two axis cnc machines for hobby stuff, and I can <s>steal</s> borrow stepper motors and other bits from work, but 3 axis or more would be the go

I didnt know that ... hmmm
What Large said ...
I think there might be enough people on here who could want a set so a bulk order could be made

[Deano]

the ball swrew and nuts you speak of booster are available from your local bearing shop.

i wonder if any of you guys have contacts in the bearing industry that could help?

[Booster]

Thats right Deano , Found out a bit more but still to catch up to the right guy, the stepper motors were brought , then the controller and he wrote the programme,

[chipp]

i want a link to this build anyone got a link

[Z Power]

Thats going to be horn

[Large]

I'm still not saying who's doing the build, partly because the guy wants no publicity - he's not interested in dealing with people asking him to make things and partly because I don't know. All I know is he's in NSW I think:)

Anywho, this is what they're working from

The original (damaged) busa frame was measured up to get all the mounting points and angles right http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/54132591471269.JPG

Then the frame started to take shape

Carbon bodywork and wheels still to come[8D]

[Iceman]

Fuck that's nice. Who ever it is, their definatly going all out.

[oldskool]

Shit I wish I could do that with a bench drill and a hacksaw.

[LKC73]

Large, I just hope you keep geting updates so we all can see this work of art being built! The work in this thing is awesome to say the least! No wonder the dude wants to keep it on the down low [:p]

[wackyrider]

Fuck thats nice [:p][:p]

[BillyWhizz888]

C'Mon..

leaving aside the turbo system, there's so many other choice bits on this bike that I would kill for[8D]

[Fish]

FAAARRRRRQQQQQ!!!!

[latheboy]

Id forgoten about this .. I'm glad to see it's coming on strong ..

[Booster]

Turbo looks a little difficult to blend in and not look like an afterthought.
Esp with the quality of the rest of the work.
Short light and way too much power ... very good...

[Fight_fan]

That is so fuckin horn! I think i need a couple of tissues...

[Lucas]

[:0][:0][:p]:D

[BANDITROD]

fuck thats sweet im in love [:0]

[morrigan]

That's sooo awesome! I'd kill just for the frame!!

[FIGHTERMC]

thats the dogs balls

[ozzy1100]

omg !!!!!! i have a left nut im not useing

[Weaselman]

holy tea bagging midget shit batman thats awesome... Trellis frame and all

[xb9r]

Oh t mhave a shit load of money

[KRASH]

WOW...!!!
Thats all I have to say on the matter...

[Tony Nitrous]

I love it !

I can see this bike going on my drool list with
Dodge's Slabsider,
Steve's Monster,
Ben's Judge,
and that Blue/yellow Turbo Market.

VERY NICE.

[Tony Nitrous]

I can even begin to imagine the headache's and thinking
that go's behind something like this, but....

Once you have built one, and it works, how hard is it
to build the 2nd / 3rd etc. CNC? Frame Jig's?

Maybe not this actual bike if he wants to be exclusive,
but Australia still hasn't got its Harris/Spondon/Martek/
Egli/G&G/Moto Martin etc, a few one off's, but not to any
great extent.

[HueyonaBlade]

Whats the implications of engeneering and the like to get this thing registered on the road[?] I was really hopeing that this guy wasn't going to cover up those triples to[V]each to there own I guess

[Johnnay]

whaaaaaaapshhhhht, waaaaaaaapshhhht, waaaaaaapshhht, waaaaaaapshhht, waaaaaaapshhht, wheeeeeeeeee!

Unbelievably awesome bike, but I would have put the front wheel on the right way the first time....:D

[latheboy]

Has there been any updates on this bike Mr. Large ... does it run? Rego? sit in the spot where the TV used to be?

[miniman1]

Thats fucken SEXY!!!!!!

Y didnt i think of that for my wrecked busa!!!!!

I wasn't commenting on your thinness...just your head. :D

[racecomp]

That’s one hell of a project bike. I wish they had just cleared the frame so you can see the artwork in the welds etc.

He will shit the first time he uses those brakes, they are fucking awesome, I have them on a project that I'm doing with BST and Nitrogen Ohlins forks on my Supercharged Rotrex 1150cc Speed Triple.

BST wheels, carbon ceramic brake rotors and titanium bolts make the front-end almost 5kg lighter than stock.... Each rotor is 660 grams each.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3052/2953241852_e2c5006890_o.jpg

I take my hat off to the builder.

I would have made my own frame from carbon but I will not be able to register the bike for road use apparently. Any advice on one off frames and doing it legal in SA?

Don’t mean to jump this post but we are on the same path…

[WATEVR]

that is an incredible bike, out of curiosity what is he going to use it for? can it be registered??

start a thread in the "my ride" section
i wanna see this bike of yours, sound like a beauty!!!

[zx12argh]

jeez... that bike is a machinists wet dream...
got to be a suicide machine - 345hp, short wheel base, sub 180kgs... that is going to be one hella of a sphincter clenching ride.

[Pab13]

That's one hell of an effort top job

[slip]

Goddamn amazing build.

It stumps me how they can make such beautiful things and then put that monstrosity front cowling on.

Still, total sex.

[TurboKat]

This thing would be the ultimate custom motorcycle if it had Katana bodywork.

[Surt]

a superb project, i love the diy approach! any news large? [?][?][?]

[Mishdog20]

Wow, thats unfrekin believable. I'm not normally a fan of busa's but this bike would be persuaded. How much does the bike have left to go before finished? I can't wait to see more photos.

Its not a forum members bike unfortunately... Mr Large was responsible for the pics and story.

Thats says it all about the crude quality of OE parts compared to quality aftermarket. [8D] Stunning !!!!

Once you start replacing stock stuff, you find you can`t stop until all the OE stuff has gone.

[Surt]

no shit, they sell cast shit at high price to cut x-pends and earn more monopolist pigs! :D

[HOS]

Global Business Model:

Make it as cheap as possible using cheapest materials to the cheapest designs and uisng the cheapest labour from developing countries who arent too fussed about worker rights.

Then sell your well known national named product to the same punters at increasing retail price and by constantly working hard to maximise the profit on the cheaper product. Always looking for ways to make it cheaper and sell it for a higher cost.
So you end up with an expensive branded piece of cheap shite

All in the name of corporate greed :D

We are greedy socialists now thank you !! :( .... now we have been assimilated into the EU. [:o)]:D

u r talking by karl marx mate! [:0] all is true, but commies failed to make system work more efficiently, planned economics or free market r same bullshit, fark politics and gimme the link! [}:)]
