Wow.... so a quick spit and polish then ?
You don’t muck around do ya mate,
That’s about 5k right there :bowdown:

Lol...
I've been collecting some parts for a while now. Was just working up the energy to make it happen..
I work in the travel industry and am often bored when back in the hotel room. I sit surfing the web and think, the Busa would really like one of those thingies.. And somehow PayPal says thanks for your hard earned. :)

I even decided to buy a few bits of Ti to see what I think..

This is the first bike I've had where it just works for me. Where in the past I've never felt fully 100% connected with my bikes. The Busa and me seem to mold into a single unit. For that reason alone, she's a keeper and I want to do right by her.

Haha well let’s just I tried to drill the bushing first drilled a little, tested no good, drilled a little more, no good drilled a little more and wellllll....came out the other side. Lololol :banghead: it actually worked like that but would have destroyed my lever.
Amazing that it is off by that much. There must be other busa owners having the same problem. I have heard a few people comment that they had this problem with aftermarket levers but it does not seem to be consistent with all bikes of the same model using the same lever. Maybe there is variation in clutch master cylinders among the same bikes.

Yea I honestly think that the clutch master I put on (since my bike was wrecked, my original was wiped) is slightly diff than my original one was. It came off an 06 but perhaps the 06 was like a late model production.

Pulled the trigger on a pair of RS Taichi riding pants from WeBike and finally got around to installing some HEL front brake lines - basically anything to try and take my mind off this toothache...... WeBike website was so confusing the install and bleeding of the brake lines took less time. Front caliber upgrade is delayed indefinitely - blew my budget on number 2's College room & board

Did some riding today, then a massive storm came while at a family party. Had to stash my bike under a tent and keep it dry. Then rode some more!

Snapped up a few pics along the way.

Yes I believe so (purchased the bike used only in March of this year). The calipers look new only because they were covered in brake fluid 15 minutes earlier....
Brake fluids is no joke, I spilled some on the shop floor while bleeding my brakes. I left it and came back and it ate through the floor paint, all the way down to raw cement again.
Good thing you got it off lol.
