I couldn't wait...

What kind of exhaust are you leaning towards?
I'm a HMF fan, but there are many good systems out there!
From my limited (so far) research, I'm leaninng towards a Yosh or maybe the Brock Davidson that comes with the pre-mapped PCIIIR. I'm goinng to wait until about 600 miles to make sure mixtures stay the same. I'm not very familiar with HMF. I think I saw a picture you posted....dual cans carbon fiber? Looked very nice .
Thanks, vrca. Ii'm very lucky to have Deb. She not only loves to ride, she encouraged me to buy the Busa when I felt guilty about having two bikes. There is one good thing about your situation...you don't have to put that heavy grab rail on; somebody should make an aluminum version.
Congtats and welcome-- NICE !!
Dang, I worked all weekend and couldn't keep up with the board like I usually do so I missed this. CONGRATS man!!!!
Now, post up some pics ASAP.

Ok, I posted a reply before I read the whole thread. I see you've already posted pics. Sweet!Speaking of pics, here's couple, one humpless, ready for the inaugural ride with wifey-poo. This bike fits me and my riding style perfectly. I immediately felt as I'd been riding it for years
How many miles you got on it already?
Thanks, BTHow many miles you got on it already?
. Sadly, only 30 miles so far
. I went out twice Saturday in 20 degrees with a wind chill in the single digits and learned that my gloves are good but not that good. Yesterday I spent time with her, just checking things out, and took the tail piece loose to get the one reflector nut that I couldn't get out originally
You know, quality time.
Hey, I hear ya. I'd love to be puttin' miles on mine today but I just don't have cold weather gear. The high tomorrow is supposed to be around 50 I think. If it gets anywhere near that with sunshine I'm rollin' out. Can't stand it!Thanks, BTHow many miles you got on it already?

The quality time is good too, though. I guess inclimate weather is good for something. Gives ya time to rub on 'er a little and do the small things like gettin' that nut out and such. If the warm (relatively speaking of course) doesn't hit tomorrow I'm thinkin' about doin' a little bodywork on the 10 this week. I'm thinkin' about removing the stock "fender/flap/signals", "shaving" the stock undertail and repainting it. I saw a 10 with this done and it's super clean lookin'. I'll end up having to make/find some sort of turn signals or go with an integrator that puts the signals in the brakelight housing, but that was in the plans anyway. I'll also have to come up with a tag mount. Got an idea or two for that as well.
Anyway, not tryin' to jack yer thread, man. The point was that it sucks not to be able to roll the miles on, but it makes tearing it down for stuff like that easier because you're not missing out on nice riding weather to do mods. That's the only positive thing I can think of to living in a place that has cold winters.
BT, is the rear fender painted on the 10? Painting it sounds like a pretty trick idea. I understand that you are the mod guruHey, I hear ya.

Nah, the undertail is painted to match the tail section but the fender//mud flap that holds the tag/signals/tag light is just black plastic. I've already trimmed the mud flap so that nothing hangs below the bottom of the tag, but I'm shooting for something like this.BT, is the rear fender painted on the 10?

My guess is that your ZX10 will be something to behold when you get done with it. I was looking at the rear fender on the Busa, and I think I'll just trim just below the tag bracket like I did on my FZ. Integrating the t/signals maybe further down the line....be cool
