Does this look normal to you?

Completely normal and is part of the casting process. I agree it doesn't look good but nothing to worry about, we all have it.

I hate to throw a negative vote in here but........Mine doesn't look anything like that. Over the years I've spent allot of time inspecting castings at my various manufactuing/engineering positions. On a critical part like that, I would be a bit concerned. Just because many are like that doesn't make it OK!! I've seen castings in used in much less critical applications fail with much finer contraction voids than those
I'm going out to inspect all my cast parts.
Speaking of cast parts on the Busa.......Take a close look at the stock footpegs. At 290lbs, I'm scared to death to stand up on them, mine are about as fugged up looking as can be. I'm ordering aftermarket ones TODAY!!

mine dosen't have it
Alright GNT, that's just wrong.
Not all of us have it...Completely normal and is part of the casting process. I agree it doesn't look good but nothing to worry about, we all have it.
I know. Sorry. That is normal however, like BT said "not all of us have it".Alright GNT, that's just wrong.
You do realize that those voids are in the hub and not the sprocket right?
On another note, you'll love the busa with a 43t rear sprocket. I had that gearing on Train and it friggin' ROCKED! I hope you love power wheelies.

ooops...that's right so I'd still have the cracks. Maybe a 42T would be better. I don't wanna do power wheelies just want 6th gear to be more responsive at 85mph. It's a little too tall stock I think.You do realize that those voids are in the hub and not the sprocket right?Even with a new sprocket you are going to have those cracks...

I just spit soda out my nose!!! Thanks BUDDY!! LOL!!!A 43 tooth is fine for the rear, don't let BT scare ya there. It's a perfect choice. And the casting looks like that on every Busa I've ever seen so if FL Knifemakers doesn't look like that, I'd be more concerned about his.
I've gone back and looked at Busa's on the showroom floor just to alleviate my fears and everyone has had those casting marks. I won't call them cracks since they appear to be raised ridges.I just spit soda out my nose!!! Thanks BUDDY!! LOL!!!A 43 tooth is fine for the rear, don't let BT scare ya there.

Can you take a close up pic of yours? If it truly doesn't have any of those casting marks I'll print out the picture and take it to my dealer and get some use out of my extended warranty.
