Belly pan alternative?

[wreckwriter]

Since I put the frame covers on my belly pan is pretty much impossible to get on properly. You can't get the front part where it connects to the main fairing to stay put which creates a big wind catcher.

Are there any alternative belly pan designs for gen 2 that connect differently than the factory version?

For now, no belly pan.

There are aftermarket belly fairings but I believe they all attach the same way...

All the ones I saw do. Probably just leave it off.

Lots of people do with zero issues...

Maybe leave the belly pan off if you like the look and relocate the rectifier to the rear turn signal pod area? That’s what I did when I upgraded to a mosfet rectifier, even though, I left my belly pan on.

Considering relocation but it'll stay cool where it is.

You could dremel out the cover, so the pan fits flush.

That was my concern, until I learned that gen1s had it in the tail. Granted, I have the one that generates less heat, like I mentioned above.

Would have to cut the whole bottom off. Then I'd have to rely on just the RTV to hold it on.

How much did the mosfit cost?

I want to say $160(?).

Rectifier/Regulator relocate project...how to | Gen 2 Busa Information

Ok so after spending all night frettin over the ghost hose I found I decided to tackle something that is supposed to be straight forward and in the end create a cleaner look. I decided to buy a regulator/rectifier relocate bracket from Ebay by a co called Ball Z Motosports. Ball Z Motorsports...

Ran mine for two years after doing the above in south Florida and it never got hot enough to matter. Left my belly pan off as I thought it looked better that way.

I probably will relocate it eventually. It would certainly look better. I don't really think it's likely to be damaged where it is though
