Finally finished my Busa project (Frankenbusa)

[Ludicrous Speed]

I posted the pics on the thread "Introducing Frankenbusa", but figured i would post them here as well, since that part of the forum does not get a lot of traffic.

There are tons of build pics on the thread https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/1-4-mile/164999-introducing-frankenbusa.html

Here are the latest pics, and some of my trip to the track at the end of the year:























Clutch came in pretty hard on this one!

Damn good lookin bike! The frame painted or powdercoated?

Nice! Cool hugger !

The frame is painted, I did not take it all apart, just masked the engine off....

The hugger I ordered from DME, but it ended up being a Catalyst part. It did not fit, and I had to section it and approx 1/4" in the front and 3/4" in the rear to get it to clear the tire. That was strange, since all my other Catalyst parts fit great. Then I added to the front so it went further around the tire to keep the Nitrous bottle clean.

That is the result of about 2.5 years of work!

thats a really nice looking bike.

Track bike only.

I had an 04 Black and Purple that was Street/Strip, and when it was time to ride 2-up, it took me 45 minutes to raise everything up, and I was nervous of dragging with it. When it got wrecked, i bought a leftover 2009 White and blue Busa at the end of 2010. I swore that it would remain a streetbike first, so I found this bike wrecked and planned to make it an all out track bike.

Sadly, I just traded the 09 off on a Kawasaki Teryx 4. Not counting riding to work, it got used 5 times last year. The side by side we can drive in town, and the whole family can go with me....
