[kev@vcm]

Well guys my bike is back from ben's workshop and I can't think of enough words to thank ben for all that he's done it's stunning I'm stoked as hell , I have the motor as well now so slowly but surely it's all coming together nicely .

I can now say I've been EXTREMED

[TurboKat]

You should've got Ben to get you a new fueltank too, that one is a fucking dogs breakfast.

[Redmohawk]

If its super gooses old one , I'd be cleaning the crap outa it and putting some tank liner shit through it at the least. Half the trouble he had with that bike was crap out of the tank fucking the rest of the fuel system. It will most likely need a new pump or at the least a new internal filter.

[wackyrider]

Good point there Red

[kev@vcm]

Ok guys this is where I'm up to now , hope to have some of the engine mounts here some time this week so over the weekend I can put the motor and wiring into the bike

I have an aprilia rsv4 tail coming from Europe so will have a look when it arrives here and see how it goes , I will use a factory triumph hugger

[wackyrider]

Starting to come together nicely Kev. I just love that rear wheel

[hutch]

[Fight_fan]

Fuck yeah bro! Its lookin sick!

[kev@vcm]

I have a dilemma guys I'm stuck for ideas on what I should do with the front , I would like some opinions good or bad

Thanks

[Chase]

Looking great Kev! For the front mate I'd be keeping it as simple as possible - keep the focus on the swinger and tail - maybe something like a newer model Ducati Monster?

[Redmohawk]

Use a stock round headlight and make your own shroud out of fiberglass ?

[nick76]

Yeah I fucking love that look ,
Pity they don't pop up all that often.....and i think a little pricey new from KTM, tho i don't think its a hell of alot more than a mask and light????

[Yella]

[kev@vcm]

Ok guys as most know the build is back on , I have everything I need to get the bike finished thanks to my drag bike , but the only thing I'm struggling with is the tail end ,

So does anyone here have any suggestions as to what would look good for the busa ???

Cheers guys

[wackyrider]

Pick a tail you like and make it fit.

Saw the R6 tail on Blackstuff's busa and that looked cool. Chnged your mind on the german tail you have?

[kev@vcm]

Ok I scored a tail unit complete with subframe so its all go go go when the parts arrive

[xa-mont]
