Yes my bike known as the "DEATHDEALER" has featured in over 6 magazines including 2 Wheel tuner,Super streetbike,Cycle Dreams,Bikerspot,etc. It was my freshman debut. I just finished my sophomore build earlier this month it is called "RESSURECTION". It will be featured in a upcoming 2 Wheel Tuner issue.

depends if u wanna bling or if u wanna zing. me personally i turboed mine and had the stock plastics airbrushed and had the frame powdered while i was at it. i did consider a CF kit though. but decided agianst it. if u crash plastics are cheap and the engine is usually still okay. if u decide to do the CF be sure and tell your insurance about it right away

that is BAD ASS! i really like that. i considered a 240 kit but decided agianst it cause 300hp+ added with more moving parts and a lil street driving equals really bad deal.What the bike looks like now.
You planning on doing the Hightower mod by ripping out the front seat?
I know you were kidding. I could honestly lose about 100 myself. The CF would be for looks and weight reduction. I'd still need to tune the suspension, but that would be after the body mods (to myself AND if I CF the bike)
hey-Ben! Im saving for the OPP kit as soon as wedding is over...should have it before Xmas. Then Im beggin for some CF rims...dunno if Im getn Dymags or BSTs like GPW. If i am a REALLY good boy, maybe I'll get a powdercoated frame too!
But unlike you, im tryin to GAIN about 20lbs...stress from this wedding has me down to like 210...

Ben - Ok, welcome to the frickin Oprah show..ready...I know you were kidding. I could honestly lose about 100 myself. The CF would be for looks and weight reduction. I'd still need to tune the suspension, but that would be after the body mods (to myself AND if I CF the bike)
First off, do the CF bodywork for looks, and forget about the weight savings. Full CF bodywork only save you a few pounds, and the biggest weight savings comes from the tank, but I've already explained the issues with the CF tanks.
Secondly, dude I wish I had 1/10th of the personality and sense of humor you had. If I had to put on 100Lbs for it (Forgeting about the health factors) I would choose to be big and happy than weigh what I do and have the issues I have.
Third, Do what you want to do. If you ask others for opinions, realize they are just opinions and not necessarily fact or truth. I've seen plenty of bad advice tossed out because others want you to make the same mistakes they did because it makes them feel better...Yah, real friends...huh.
#### if you want a full CF kit, and that is what you really want, you can do it for around $1,800.00 minus tank...but only do it because you love the look, and remember if you go to resell it your going to take a big loss...especially if a New Busa comes out. Yah, lots of guys are selling their big ticket Busa's and banking on the fact something newer is comming, and they dont want to be stuck holding onto a 25K bike they cant sell or should of sold before a Newer version came out....Not many people want an older model bike...even if its worth 25K...Just human nature.
One of the worst things I ever did was to start investing money into CF parts. They are expensive, they do shatter, and they are expensive...ok they save a little weight, but who are we fooling...our bike is sorta a Beast...even when you knock 50+lbs off...it is still heavy. CF looks pretty at first, but when you take a look at what you could of purchased for all the cash you drop in CF, you really start to wonder if you had a complete mental break down, or if money is just limitless to you...Might be the case as it is for some on this forum, but I know how hard you worked to get that Busa and don't want to see you throw your cash out the door just for looks....but if you want to go that route, you got my tele and I can hook you up with a few people out in WI than can do anything you want in CF.
