Extreme Busa

[EXBEN]

It's been a long time since I've put a build thread up on here, actually because of all the customers builds it's been a long time since I've had a build of my own. I've also been waiting for the right bike to come along at the right price, well here it is & yes it's a Suzuki.:eek:
It's a 2009 Busa with less than 15000 on the clock,the guy lowsided it under a ute at low speed & most of the bodywork was damaged then the tow truck driver skull dragged it onto his flat bed on the undamaged side!!!, because it wasn't insured the owner decided to sell it to a mate of mine for a stupid low price & go & buy himself a new one (some people have got too much money!!)
Anyway that was a couple of yrs ago & it's been sitting since then slowly having parts pilfered off it.
After much negotiation I finally talked my mate into selling it to me at a good price.
I've got so many ideas about what I want to do with it, i think there's going to be a few evolutions of this one.
First up I want it to get it streetfighter'd & registered so a fairly mild setup to begin with. Then I'll start changing things from there.

[latheboy]

You should do something that no one has done before...

[Bob]

Good stuff Ben.

[Cruisecontrol]

You should do something that no one has done before...

[wackyrider]

Make it attractive?

[MONO]

Busa project.....APROVED

[Large]

Make it attractive?

Yes this.

Seen lots of Busa Fighters. Haven't seen a lot that I liked.

Over to you Benjamin.

[Tony Nitrous]

Gen2's do get turbo'd (and go well !)
but I thought they weren't ideal ?
Something about Gen2's changing to titanium valves and thinner barrels ?

[Gitzy]

Awesome stuff Ben. I'll be watching this space. Remember lots of pics.

[LKC73]

Cool Ben, looking forward to seeing what you turn this into mate.

[Iceman]

I'm thinking Ghostrider..... (not the Nicholas Cage version)

[xa-mont]

I'm thinking much better than ghost rider... because let's face it, this is Ben.

[Gix11]

Ha, no pressure then....

[Jed]

You should start with painting it really bright orange !!!

[ozzy1100]

Like I said on face fart kawabussa?
well your take on it Ben cause fuck they are a ugly bike...

[K6Thou]

Is it finished yet ? :p

[stiffsimon]

I'm thinking understated sleeper. Keep it looking original but with everything bespoke including, frame, wheels, engine cases, crancases, swingarm, etc, etc with hidden turbo and nitrous and paint it in that original shitty brown/beige colour ;)

[K6Thou]

Sorry Simon but it has to be 'burn your eyes out' orange with an RC8 tail. :p

[stiffsimon]

Ah The Black Dog Special it just keeps on giving doesn't it ;)

[Mishdog20]

Ah The Black Dog Special it just keeps on giving doesn't it ;)

Bahahaha i forgot all about that....i miss his retardedness ness around here...

[ozzy1100]

Bahahaha i forgot all about that....i miss his retardedness ness around here...

dont even say that in jest.......

[Aido]

Simple, lightweight, purposeful, handles like a tzr250, stops like a shovel to the head. But most of all reliable and useable. You've proven, as have many others that HP can be had for the right price. A 2014 streetfighter / cafe / naked sportsbike that the big 4 should be building.

[EXBEN]

Started a few mods to get it on the road, lets call this stage 1, I want to get it on the road then I'll start changing things.
R6 Tail conversion, I've done this conversion a few times now so I've got it worked out.

Then I smoothed out the stock bottom clamp & had it powdercoated black along with the rearsets the linkage & a bunch of other small parts, then I also had the forks anodised black.

For the headlight I'm using a Phantom 4 for now ( because I had one liying around)
5681

[EXBEN]

I wanted to use a small dash but still have a number of features so I decided on the Acewell 1600 unit, I'm also using a Healtech gear indicator & because the dash doesn't come with any idiot lights I made up a billet mount that carries all these items & also doubles as a Headlight mount.

[Yella]

Looking good Ben

[Iceman]

Nice work Ben, have you considered doing this kinda stuff for a living?

[wackyrider]

I love how you 'just made' the billet mount / bracket. lol

Looking good

[Gitzy]

Looks good so far Ben.

If you decide in the future you have finished using the Phantom 4 and come up with something of your usual billety goodness I would love to purchase the Phantom of you if it becomes available.

[hooligan]

Where's the turbo???

What's the skull and crossbones warning light for?

[rod185651]

What's the skull and crossbones warning light for?

Indicates if fuel in the tank is over 12 months old

[GammaBoy]

What's the skull and crossbones warning light for?
It fits better than "Danger to Manifold"

[latheboy]

Where's the turbo???

What's the skull and crossbones warning light for?

Warning light for NOT ENOUGH BOOSTS...

When is the TV and sound system getting fitted?

[latheboy]

I think there is a clue in this picture.

A piece of colour bond in the background, are you going to build guards/ headlight fairing and tank out of colour bond?

[TurboKat]

Looks like a battery to me.
Your Mum told you it would affect your eyesight..

[latheboy]

Yes she did, i asked if it was ok if I keep going till I need glasses

[EXBEN]

Haha, I like Rods answer ��

[davo]

paint it pink and call it "Judy".

[EXBEN]

I've been chippin away at the Busa slowly, in between customers jobs, chopped down a ZX10R front guard & it fits nice, I also found some GP style megaphone exhausts to suit an R1 out of China pretty cheap, I liked the shape so made them fit for now. Next is an overflow tank & Number plate holder & a couple of other small things then it's ready for rego.

[Gix11]

Nice one mate. My kinda bike. Love it.

[Iceman]

If you run out of room at the shop you can keep it at my house. I promise I won't ride it......much

[xa-mont]

That's a big mother fucking turbo for a bike! Look out cats and dogs!

[ozzy1100]

Hehe

[Tony Nitrous]

Started using mine again recently.
It's feeling a little tired now but still a heap of fun.
Really should get around to re-doing it.

DO IT !!!!

721hp is the one to beat ;)

[Gix11]

721hp! So, either ride it at walking pace, or at stand still destroying a tyre.

[Tony Nitrous]

No, on a dyno proving what your shop can do.
Pretty sure it was still registered at the time,
It's now being run as an Outlaw race bike.

[ozzy1100]

put a 10" slick on it and watch the gear box get out and walk its self...

[latheboy]

Got a build link/video Tony? Probably better in another thread ... Then again maybe you should post it here, it might put the fire under Ben to get going bigger and better...

[Tony Nitrous]

It's Sean Mills (BigCC racing) bike.
Google BIGCCracing or Project Pisstake.

[davo]

There was someone running 1 of them in a SuperComp dragster at willowbank 3 weeks ago, fuck it was off its tit. Smoked most of the bigger V8's...and with tyres half the size. http://www.dragphotos.com.au/p621531313/h15b9c7f5#h15b9c7f5
6.9 second 1/4 . backed off about 300m.

[EXBEN]

While my busa sits in the corner waiting to be finished a customer walks in & says I like it can you build me one the same but make it gloss black & put some carbon yoshi's on it, sure....

[ozzy1100]

Nice

[Gix11]

Production line now hey mate?

I saw him post about owning that bike on Fagbook and thought you'd sold it for a silly price. Makes sense now.

Nice job mate.
