I am back in the US now and have made a few sets of the rails for the GSXR1000 K7 tail conversion. I have one set remaining and plan to build three more sets in the next few weeks. If anyone is interested in a set, feel free to PM me and I will send you photos of an available set bolted to a...

My first 2011 Busa was stolen, literally right from under my nose. Even though I called the police while I could still see it going down the road and told them exactly where it was headed, it was never recovered. Thankfully I bought another one with my insurance claim. I feel your pain.

You will get this bike sorted out and road-worthy soon enough. My first Busa was a 2011, also a Copart bike that had plastic damage only. It was three model years old at the time. I repaired it and it was a wonderful bike. I put about 40,000 miles on it before it was stolen. I now have a 2008...

Not sure why are you removing the broken bolts from the subframe. It is obviously bent and should be replaced. It will be much cheaper to replace it rather than try to get it straightened out and usable. You can buy Gen II subframes on Ebay delivered for about $45 and they are relatively simple...

Like everyone else here I was a bit disappointed in the new Hayabusa, thinking I might score a nice used one in a few years. The loss of five horsepower does not bother me, due to the increase in usable power lower down. I would say that it is very rare for your average Busa rider to use even 75...

I have had both the Throttlemeister and Kaoko on my Hayabusa and I prefer the Kaoko by a mile. It is much easier to lock on and off due the the castellated lock ring.

When I did my GSXR tail conversions I used ABS plastics from China and they were great. It is an easy material to work with for cutting and sanding to fit the install. For shipment the pieces were just thrown into a box with no packaging whatsoever and fared pretty well on the trip over but for...

On my first Busa (2011) I spent considerable time and money going with "comfort mods". This included lowered adjustable height footpegs, Heli-bars, taller wind screen and a custom seat. That bike was stolen some time after that so I bought another Busa (2008) and did no comfort mods to it. I...

Hey guys, I am still around, just living in Europe for a few years with my Busa at home in the US. I would be happy to help you with your project with photos and any other help that I can give. PM me with your email and I will get some pictures to you.

Yes it is. I live in Branson and ride Hwy 125 regularly. Well, normally I live in Branson. Right now I am living in Hungary for a few years. Trying to get home right now with all of the borders closed.

Why choose a Hayabusa when there are so many other choices available? I have a side business of parting out motorcycles that I operate from my shop at home. I have had many bikes over the years, putting a few hundred thousand miles on a CBR1100XX, a few VFRs. I had parted quite a few various...

I have used quite a few covers the past few years until I found a good one. JDC Waterproof covers are the best by far. I am currently living in Europe and bought mine from Amazon Germany. They should be available in the US as well. These are heavy duty covers that will not blow away in the wind...

After loads of research I installed a 3D chain on my Busa about two years ago and I am very happy with it.
