Modding the new Pashnit Busa
- Thread starter pashnit
- Start date
Yes sir I am.
I think 3200 is a fair price. '02 with 33K on it. I got it with 15K on it and runs & starts perfect. Comes with the Ventura Rack & top case which can be easily removed. Need to put it up on CL this weekend & sell before the summer ends. Bike is located near Sacramento. Needs nothing, could leave on a 1000 mile weekend ride tomorrow if I needed to. It's plated with current reg. Plus comes with brand new tires with 0 miles. I just put them on.
I bought the last 4 bikes out of state. I bought this one in IA and shipped it to me sight-unseen. Fun bike but the Hayabusa is more suited for the type of riding I do.
Progress, progress. About ready to start working on electrical mods and install the Clearwater Lights.
Coming along nicely and leading another tour.
And starting to look quite different from where I started.
Rims, GXR Fender & T-Rex Sliders Installed

I designed a new tour for the 2019 ride season that focused on riding Mosquito Ridge, a famous ride in local riding circles in the Sierra Nevada Foothills.

Wow, that is quite the "back yard" to ride in....
That makes two of us!!!
Now that I've got my Rick's Motorsport Electric Hot Shot 500watt stator installed + the Hot Shot Regulator/Rectifier, I can start doing electrical mods and power everything. I'll also install a Healtech Volt Meter to be able to ensure no issues with power draw.

Clearwater Lights
Huge fan of Clearwater Lights & I've sold many kits over the years. My '00 Busa was the test bike for the original Gen-I kit.
Working with the owner of Clearwater Lights, Glenn Statsky.
Clearwater Lights are not cheap, but same kit can go on multiple bikes, just get a new bracket kit and install. Any issues with the kit, send it back to Sacramento and CWL will service it. China lights are much cheaper, but any issue and you throw them away. CWL Kits are made out of solid billet aluminum and you'll still have them ten years later.

check out the Rowe Amplink. Perfect for a guy like you!

The Colorblind guy is doing electrical wiring again.
But I've got a wire diagram and a volt meter so we're good, right?
Electric Wiring Tool Kit + Posi-Tap connectors
Using Posi-Tap connectors: These things are ridiculously expensive - $1 apiece, but you can use them over and over.

Posi-Tap connector simply screw together and done. Never had one come apart, and I can also shrink wrap them if I really need them sealed up well. Sell bike, simply remove all your goodies, disconnect your Posi-tap connectors and save them for the next bike.
Can also easily tap into a hot wire

They make wiring super simple. Remember in the olden days we used those alligator snap connectors and the squeeze connectors. I hated those things.
Electrical mods I've pulled off previous bikes. Saving all this for a rainy day.

Have you seen these? Pretty amazing you just stick the wire ends in each side and use a heater to shrink the tubing. Clean, very reliable and you don't have the bulk you get with posi-taps. It is more or less permanent though.

I just watched a video on those the other day, definitely cool
FUZEBLOCK INSTALL
Now that I need to power the Clearwater Lights, I need to add an accessory fuseblock.
The cool thing about adding a Fuzeblock is it gives me two wiring options: 1) a hot wire that's always on and a 2) hot wire that's powered through the ignition & turns off with the bike.
I'll power the Fuzeblock with the license light hot wire since I haven't ran a license light in years. Then provide aways-on-power direct off the battery. Lastly I'll install a Healtech Multi-meter (voltmeter) to keep an eye on power draw.
I didn't do that (install a volt meter- or isolate the power draw) with my first Hayabusa and fried the stator with all my electrical goodies.
