After working on it every night since last monday night. The Busa is ridable.
What I did: Took a basic stock busa, removed the HMF exhaust ( I like the oem setup, no, really ), and did the yana shiki dance.
Why: Tough look ( that's it )
The Exhaust: I used a later model exhaust and modified the cans with 6 .5" holes at the end and sliced the end pipe 1" (or so). I'll probably polish them soon. ( my bike is a 2000 so think about it and you'll figure it out).
The slam: about 2" front and back. The front it TOO low @ 2". Yani triple tree & links
The stretch: yani blocks. powdercoated over anodized black. This really doesn't adhere well.
Euro tail: once again yani... looks good when finished but installation nightmare. I have phrased it "Yana Shiki hell". This piece suffers from copy, copy, copy. It's really shrunk so the typical suzi push pins don't work.
I needed to get body clips and modify them and use 1/4-20 screws. I need to figure out blinkers.
my first ride: Everything that a busa is, a slammed/stretched isn't. The front end feels a little weird on hard accel/decel. the real wheel breaks loose any time! The front IS prone to bottoming out (no real surprise here)
Overall, I may put it all back the way it was. Sure looks cool (pics coming), but I don't know if it's worth losing that great busa feel.
Yana Shiki: Probably another name for "you get what you pay for" (Figured as such) but then all this is "custom" anyway. I had to grind about 50% of the bols on thes items to get them to work properly. The tail, just a shame, they should supply the proper scres etc.
The oem modded cans sound deep w/o being a chainsaw.
Just my thoughts, wanted to share. If your doing any of this I'd be glad to detail anything I've done.
