General Information
Have a gen1 that I bought in parts for next to nothing. Even the engine was fully taken apart. Story was a hard noise under load so crank&rod are bad. So I puzzled it all together, still found a cracked head, broken thermostat, and many small things that showed years of neglect. What I added/fixed:
- Fixed the engine: new crank/rods, new head, lapped the valves with new seals, new seals and gaskets all around.
- People with in depth knowledge of hayabusa's will say this is not a K2, the color scheme is from the 2000 bike! You are right. I exchanged the broken fairing and dented tank for a very nice set from 2000. Gutted the tank to keep the in tank fuel pump :-)
- Coated the exhaust pipes, added a nice set of Bos silencers
- Added tre, gear indicator and garmin GPS holder
- Replaced all kind of bolts that originated from the hardware store, added missing fairing bolts and grommets
- Checked EVERYTHING. Took the complete bike apart. I found so much poop I didnt trust it anymore. Fortunately no more nasty surprises such as cracks in frame or stuff like that.
