I swear...If all I was missing was removing an adapter...I might actually cry.

My bad, it's a gen-2. But the H7 prongs are literally too narrow to fit. As in, the bulb leads are too close together and cannot sit in the connector without bending them, which, for Amazon item return standards, I did not do with a set of pliers.

So I've swapped everything but the main headlight to LED and have this weird two-tone effect going on. For the life of me I can't find an H4 LED light that will fit the bike without bending the ever-loving out of the retaining clip and slicing the rubber moisture cover to accommodate the fan...

She purrs and sounds completely different after a full fluid flush, 300v oil, K&N filter (oil & air), new NGK laser cut plugs, T-Rex no-cut racing Sliders, a much needed scrubbing inside and outside the fairings, with some love shown to the "engine bay" as well, and a full LED swap. Only issue...

I've got a fluid flush planned, I'm just waiting on my tools to get here (long story). Bike is sitting at approx. 10.5k miles. She's apparently been garaged most of her life, but her records are all clean.

Wait, so people think the kickstand is too big? With my current one I have to hook my foot under and around the peg before I can catch it with my toe. If I had bigger feet I wouldn't be able to fit it at all.

I do not. Riding season is almost over here so I'll most definitely add it to the shopping list for winter maintenance.

So far height hasn't been an issue, I'm gifted with long legs. And I am doing a full LED upgrade on everything, I just failed to specify lol.

I didn't know about the stator recall! But it has been a slightly hard start sometimes in the mornings. I'm hoping it's just because it's getting a bit colder. A quick shifter might be something further down the road, but I've always wanted one. And the busa would be THE BIKE to get it for. A...

I want to say the ECU was flashed when the power commander was installed, I haven't experienced any jerking or jumping outside of initially getting used to throttle & clutch sensitivity. I am nowhere near 230 being a trim 170-ish, so new shocks might be on the list. The forks feel pretty stiff...

Hey all! Long time motorcycle rider, first time Busa owner here. Just wanted to see what all advice or recommendations you all have for general upgrades/mods/things to look out for. Bike is a gen 2 from 2008, previous owner installed a new steering damper and power commander, no 2nd gear issues...

In all seriousness it would take A LOT of paperwork and favors to stick 2x Busas in the local chamber for personal use lol. If you can get a hold of a legit/official 3D mock-up, all you should need is a computer sim.

You rang?
