Radiator and Oil-cooler Guards for "Busa's Evil Twin"

If they dont suit it, they are going on my 04 bike and I will get some made up for the 02.

looks much better!

[Gix11]

LOADS better!

[Tony Nitrous]

That might be what I need,
GSXR1000 rear-end fitted to an Ugly-Bus.

http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/7524/busa1000rearfp7.jpg

Its Shorter, Smaller, Raised,
Can swop between useable pillion seat or single seat cowl,
Using genuine Suzuki parts so I get decent pillion pegs / rear lights
etc and can use an over the shelf aftermarket undertray.

Not sure it suits the fully faired bike in the picture ?
Might be Neat on an unfaired cut down bike ?

[crazymofo]

that bikes fucking swweeet... not keen on the colors, but the gixxer rear end suits it imo.

and i do agree tony, a gixxer rear would look sweet on the naked bus, id also like to see a k6 gixxer rear on it too

great job with the radiator too.

cheers.joe.

[fimpBIKES]

yep, go the gixx end



are they ever gonna update the busa?

[evad]

Tony that rear end looks sweet, will change the whole look of the rear end

[HueyonaBlade]

Im all up for the practicality of the solo or pillion aswell I think thats going to be a nice touch to the BUSA , Have you already found one or looking?

[FIGHTERMC]

I seen one here at home a few years ago with all the
fairing{front and rear} off a gixxer thou on a busa and it look sweet.
nice job on the rad Tony.

Looking.
Going to be part of "stage 2" after the fools run.
Did have my mind set on a late model SV6 rear,
but starting to think the Gix1000 looks better.

That's betterer

[Iceman]

Heaps better

[Tony Nitrous]

I know everyone and their dog will shout "Lower the Fairing"
but it 'aint going to happen! I like the standard clocks and
their new mounts, so to get it back on the road its going to
be the "Praying Mantis" hunched-up look...;)
It will take the focus off the fairing when I get the Huge tank
and new bellypan back on anyway....maybe....sort of.....

[zx12argh]

That paint looks good mate - is it a pearl?

[HueyonaBlade]

Have you thought about painting the radiator guard black?

[Tony Nitrous]

Paint was supposed to be a match for the Blue on the
original 02 Bodywork, was going to be a temporary thing
as its getting new rear body work latter in the year.

Rad guards may go Black. Didn't want to touch them yet.
Will see what the look like with the bodywork on. They are
only mass-produced aftermarket,If they look crap they are
going on my stock bike (Hidden under bodywork)

[Gix11]

Yes yes yes! I love the build up to the AFR.......

[fimpBIKES]

oooh, looks ANGRY!!!! love it!

[HueyonaBlade]

Thats coming up a real treat Tony , cant wait for the full bike shot

[Tony Nitrous]

quote:Originally posted by HueyonaBlade

Yeah, ME TOO !!!
Bike is a Jim's (HMR) getting a few last brackets and tweeks
and we cant fit the Belly pan because it wont go on and off
his Bike-Lift. So I haven't seen a full bodywork version either.

Rear is pretty stock anyway, but for a bit of polish and paint.
Paint wasn't what i originaly had planned but it growing on me.
Might use same colour when the new rear end go's on ?

http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/8893/bluerear1at0.png

[Gix11]

I think that colour looks great mate - It stands out like dogs nuts! Let me guess, yellow decals and yellow wheel centres on their way?

:D... You know me too well ;)

Yeah, would like my usual yellow wheels, but both bikes have
polished rim so I will wait untill one of them needs new tyres,
funny enough I had though of a yellow Decal too....
what a suprise ;)

Photo doesn't show it well, but had a huge ugly gap between
the tank and frame, which Jim filled with some "crinkle-Black"
finished panels.

i like it alot...very tidy work mate.

I also love the build up to the AFR,its like a yearly deadline to finish the build and its gettin bigger every year,.... (the 1st year we only had 12 bikes,but only 6 or 7 fighters,i think).

[Gix11]

You know exactly what it needs Tony:

tony that looks sweet and the gixer tail will also really make it complete. you have also done a great job of tidying up all the wiring it all looks very smart, well done mate.

Credit where credits due.
I gave up with the wireing and Jim at HMR did a great job
of what turned out to be a major task!
I worked f*ck*ng hard to earn the money, and decided what I
wanted, but jobs like the Radiator stub, the Loom, and cutting
the front guard down was all done by Jim. Im not a big enough arse
to claim credit for someone else's work.
I know its not in the true spirit of Streetfighters, but trust me,
im not the only one on here to farm jobs out.

Im pretty sure no one has done 100% of the work to their fighter themselves on ASF. Not even Ben, he even farms some work out. Its not so much who does the work its you who decides what work is done to create the bike you want. Its your input that makes the bike yours. Good on ya Tony, you are building a streetfighter, wether you had help along the way or not does not matter.

[Tony Nitrous]

Thanks.

Its not like I've just thrown money at someone to build me a bike.
I did what I could and had the thing up and running, but not to any
standard I was happy with.
I just that I get a real guilt trip when folk complement me on what
a great job im doing. I've worked F*ckin hard to pay for this bike,
to get the parts I wanted, and to get it finished to this standard,
Its what I wanted, but the finished build should be credited to Jim.

[Gix11]

Looks like Jim's proven his work yet again. Excellent. Glad we have him on board.

[fimpBIKES]

dont worry
its your vision right?!?!


i definitely cant afford to fo everything myself
especially anything to do with ally welding, fukt if i can afford one of those!



hmmm, maybe i could buy a cnc one day...
oh well

Let this be a heads up for the newer QLD members.If you need some custom work that is beyond your limits www.handmaderacers.com.au is where its at.There aint nuthin this man cant build,or tune,to a budget.10% off for members. The experience is free.

[Tony Nitrous]

I like the Belly-pan, but the clocks might have to be changed at a later date
for something smaller to make room to pull the headlight tighter in.

Finished article looks sweet Tony!

Like Fimp said it was your vision and it doesnt mater that you had to farm out a few jobs.

Shayne

[Iceman]

Looks much better now the belly pan is on. Should look even better with new clocks and head light moved in and down a bit.

[HueyonaBlade]

Thats tops Tony do you have the hump for the pillion seat as I think that would be the cherry . Very Nice all the same

Thought about doing a seat hump in blue too, but didn't get one
with this bike, so decided against the cost of buying and painting
one as I have plans to fit a smaller / higher seat unit latter in
the year.

Jim's going to have a go at makeing up some mesh to fit over the
ram-air holes in the fairing for me and im going top treat it to a
new battery and fingers crossed, its out to play on Saturday / Sunday.

Tony.J.

Abusa/Shayne..... "Finished" !!
Far from it. Lets just call it "stage one" ;)
I have lots of plans,
I might have to have a word with Cyanide Racing some time...;)

[speeddemon]

Looksgood, smaller seat would just make it A1

[fimpBIKES]

keen to see how that mesh looks
