Does anyone know the size /length /pitch? Just had one shear off and was wondering if I could pick up one at home depot or something.

I can't answer all of your questions, but I'm new to the Busa and 6'1" 300ish pounds right now. I float between 290-310 depending on my drinking. I've had 2 lower back surgeries, one when I was 15, and the other when I was 21 (I'll be 42 in a couple of weeks). I can ride for about an hour and a...

Flash flooding and thunderstorms for the last 3 days, with 3 more days of it coming. 6" of water in the basement, and 3 of the 4 roads around my house are closed due to flooding. Ellicott City just reopened yesterday, not sure how they are going to fare in this rain, but hopefully they make it...

Nice, but Wayyyyyyyyyy too loud for me lol.

Thanks all. Hopefully I can find some other Busa's around the way with some of your suggestions. I like being heard on the road, but it's starting to wear on me a little bit.

Any suggestions on something a little more low key than the Alienhead exhaust? I do love the deep sound it gives, but for real though, it's annoying as hell @ 5:30 in the morning. Sounds like I'm in a hurry everywhere.

The last bike I had was a 79 Kawasaki 750, and I got rid of it in 1998. Haven't ridden since and fell in love with the Busa when I was looking for bikes a month ago. Be easy on the throttle and you'll be fine, and like others have said, find a nice stretch of straight road and open it up SLOWLY...

We don't have them every year up here, just after you purchases one. The bike was in pretty decent shape, just had to do new sprockets, chain, rear brakes and a little ghetto RTV fix on the infamous oil line going from the top of the engine to the bottom, the crimp on the bottom of the line has...

Got to enjoy it while we can livin on the east coast. In Maryland we can have all 4 seasons twice in a week.

The left side has some major scratches to the paint from the way the previous owner strapped it down for the 1500 mile trip it took up here. I plan on having it repainted next year after I make sure everything is mechanically sound, but yea, they are an eyesore since they are faded.

90+ degrees with flash floods and thunderstorms the last half of the afternoon. The rest of the week will be mid 80's though. Can't wait.

Put my fairings back on after passing state inspection yesterday! Broke out the microfiber towel and detail spray and made her pretty for the ride tomorrow.

Thanks all. I was eyeing it up as I put the one side on and it just didn't seem to reach, but once I squished them together, fit like a glove.

I took the fairings off before I took the bike to inspection, and I have this longish somewhat elongated U shaped piece of metal that was somewhere. It has 5 holes, 3 of them in the center that are just holes and 2 of them on the ends that the fairing bolts will screw into. I'm looking through...

Cleaned the contacts up and the horn works! Good lookin out Kiwi Rider.
