My $500 project

So I was seeing this gal with a totally tricked out Busa. She was telling that her trans was slipping and I had a friend with a Busa which I thought he had wrecked. I happened into him one day asked him if he still had it and told him the story. I thought I would surprise her with the trans from it, so I asked him what he wanted for it. 500 he said. I asked "For the trans"? nope whole bike it has engine problems and I had thought about shipping it out of state to a relative. Sight unseen I said SOLD! I couldn't believe it when I saw it...

Of course these are after I aired the tires and washed it and installed a new battery and oil change.

Okay needless to say she didn't get her transmission! https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.gif It does have a rod knock and only 10k miles. But I think I can handle the job https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/images/smilies/bigsmile.gif

:poke:Im sure God already knew that you were going to "happen upon a $500.00 bike" so he placed it on your heart to want to fix the lady's transmission but now you're keeping it ALL to yourself. Im not saying... Im just sayin...:whistle:

Ummm, connecting rods? ;)

Rather than tear into the engine, buy one out of a wreck. Even if that costs you $2000 - $3000, you'll still have one heck of a deal. You can even upgrade to a Gen II engine for that kind of money. And you'll have a spare transmission to give to your lady friend for Valentines Day. :beerchug:
 
^^^ I would just throw a Gen2 motor in it before I would worry with all of those problems....
 
Nice find! There is a transmission for sale in the parts section of the forum. It is a cut down modded tranny, I dont really know what that means though. May be worth checking out though. Ill give you 550 for the bike, there you just made 50 bucks. Really good find and wish you the best, you gotta a hella deal!
 
Don't waste your time with that lowballer mckay105, I'll give ya $575.. :laugh:
