What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

[Johnnie Phatt]

spent some time placing my Nelson Ring soft bags on the bird for my trip west and back. the saddle bags are giving me grief but the tank bag and tail piece look like they will do nicely. I will just have to find time to do laundry. I do tend to over pack for these things and I cant find my rain suit . great day

I installed my Helibars and just tested them out today.
What a difference!
My hips were starting to hurt when riding, but that issue is greatly reduced.
As a benefit, the bike steers easier, and I feel more in control.

Did you manage to find a set of drop pegs which suit you?

I messed around and cleaned the clutch push pin and changed fluid, it feels like the clutch is too smooth. I was used to a definitive clunk when the clutch engaged. Now it’s smooth and sometimes hard to gauge when it is actually engaging. Am I weird?

 

[Johnnie Phatt]

Not at all. Just the sensitive type.

I bought a tank mounting bracket for my gen1 that did not come with the spacer for the bolt

So I made one CNC with lots and lots of lightening holes
Will post pics later

I've considered that shift star as well. Just not sure if it's worth it for me.

I think the quick shifter is a great addition on the Busa , no more mis shifts since I've had mine , and a fella like yourself that gets out on winding roads often will have a lot of fun with it imho .
@fallenarch is installing a QS on his build , a reasonable priced option as well , will be good to see how he finds this mod .

More assembly, fitting, adjusting, fitting, more adjusting lol.

I am very close to being set to ride. Figure one more day of little odds and ends. Lost the damn brake line bracket for the front fender so going to have to order another.
