    It's done

    I like the swingarm and wheel job!!! Pardon a total newbie question (I just bought an 02 Busa 2 days ago). How did you get the turn signals mounted on the sides like that? Where can you order those turn signals? Finally are there any web sites (aside from this one, it's awesome!) that get...

    White junk on overflow bottle

    I've got the same problem with mine. Actually I'm not sure "problem" is the right word as this is a common occurrence with the 'Busa. Lots of guys on SH.org advise they had the same thing happen to them, so I wouldn't worry about it.

    Why the heck

    OK, I got ya'. I'm sure those are for damping any vibrations that might run through the pegs. Strangely though, the Gilles have nothing designed to dampen vibration and they feel as smooth and vibration free as the stockers. They're actually light as can be and a huge difference over stock.

    Why the heck

    Actually guys, I believe the metal posts that hang on the bottom side of the pegs are "feelers" and not weights. Their purpose is to give you feedback as you lean further over and start touching parts down on the tarmac. Without them, the first part to touch down (if you have the nuts to lean...

    Exhaust installation

    I am going to install a tri-oval carbon fiber yoshimura full exhaust system on my Busa. The dealer is insisting that i need some block-offs and a Timing retard. I would like to know if these "necessary" items are really necessary <span id='postcolor'> The block off plates that the dealer speaks...

    Wind screen (shield) - aftermarket

    Crago, I opted for the Zero Gravity Double Bubble smoke for about $70 (US) and am very pleased with it. The material is thinner than the stock windscreen, but it is very high quality. At first it had a tendency to "squeak" while riding, probably due to vibration, but I simply removed it and put...

    New exhausts

    About a year ago, I was having the same dilemma. I opted to go for Yosh RS3 Carbon Fiber Race slip ons for about $800. Installed 'em and ran em for a couple months before the novelty wore off. Sure they looked and sounded great, but did basically nothing for performance. I ended up selling...
