Introducing FrankenBusa!

[Ludicrous Speed]

It will still be slow, but it will look a lot better!

All the engine upgrades are gonna have to wait a year or so........

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

pretty sure i have a couple 1000 front fenders laying around. just an idea

I missed this earlier..... I am actually kind of partial to the Big ol Busa fender, but thanks! Do you still have your bike, or did you end up selling it??

Early Christmas Present to ME!

Exhaust porn, lol:

Fitting the sidewinder took a little planning and work.

This was a failure, lol! You coud get the X and Y, but cardboard cannot do the Z. To many compound curves on the body panel for it to come out right. I just had to wing it:

I just had to make a cut and start fitting it. It ended up that I did not need to cut all the way through to the bottom, so I glassed it back in:

Then I had to make a bracket for support the megaphone. Here is what I ended up with:

The bracket turned out pretty nice for some scrap aluminum, a hacksaw, and some files

Looks like some pretty good ground clearance if you were to make some right-hand turns street riding

Don't forget that the bike is 3" off the ground on the front and rear stands

The tail was purchased with that in mind. Eventually hoping to go to a Macintosh arm that will put it at close to 68 to 72". I never forsee going 72, but would like to be capable of it.

Got these made for it, it matches the Ludicrous Speed Motorsports Logo that is on my 67 Camaro and enclosed trailer:

Lookin good!

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Thanks, Dogman..... I would not have the bike if it were not for you!

72in is pretty long. I'm more than satisfied with my McInstosh Sport arm. Its comes with 4 hole adjusters and I went with the optional underbracing. My arm is 6in-10in over stock and my bike is sitting right about 9in over stock

I'll let you have the franken busa title now. I'm parting mine out. I broke down and ordered the yeller school busa for 2013

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

LOL, thanks!

That new Yelow/black is the only color combo that I like out of the new ones

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Some updates:
New Tsukigi sidewinder and bodywork fitted. Passenger peg removed, and opening in the tail glassed in. Still needs a little work to straighten the line out.

Other side. Not sure if I am going to keep the wings behind the pegs or not.

Shot of the dashboard. I am contemplating putting the Air pressure gauge on there, and since I'm not using any other gauges, putting in LED's for the warning lights. Eventually, I want to have a delay box mounted there that I can remove between rounds so I can run both Street ET and Pro et classes.
