I have just bought a 2001 Blue/Silver busa and its not in the best of shape but it is my 1st bike and yes I know Busa shouldnt be my 1st bike but as I am 6'9" and weigh 315lbs I just wasnt comfortable on anything else I tried before I bought the busa...
But I have a few problems with the bike 1st my undertail section is completely gone its been cut out of the bike but not just back to the locking mechanism for the cowl its gone all the back to the front seat... when I pull my cowl off I can see the just the tire there is no storage.
I want to buy an undertail but from what I am gathering from the installation instructions of most undertails they should only be cut back to the bar thar runs under the rear seat and the rest of the undertray as I believe its called is left for storage. Well I dont have that and I would like to have it what can I do here is the undertray available for purchase or what would it be a part of?
My gauges are damaged and scuffed up cannot read them very well at all I'm just going to most likely buy a new set of gauges unless there is a front plate that includes the actual plastic lenses like for the turn signals oil and neutral and the clear plastics covers for the Speedo and RPM's..I would prefer not to have to buy new gauges if I can just get the front panel with those parts as part of it..because of the mileage differences with new gauges.
There is more to the bike I would like to address but without photos it seems kinda hard to describe I would just like a little advice on these two problems at the moment and will be back with photos and some other questions I have....
I've been riding the bike for about 2 Months and I love it...really the best thing I've bought to entertain myself in years and its getting me more and more interested in what I can do to make the bike my own but 1st I wanna get it to back to at least normal condition
The forums have been really helpful in getting some things cleared up and fixing a few problems I've already addressed...the marble pear valve fix was just awesome I was getting so tired of the backfire from the yoshi pipes the previous owner put on. Now I'm just trying to get it whipped into shape my plastics are in need of some tlc both have bad rash and quite a few pop rivets are missing or broken I'll leave the rest for later but please any advice on these two problems would be appricatied
