I've posted twice before and everyone complains that I don't have any pictures because i'm out of town on business and can't take them. Well, I decided I wanted some pictures so I could see what I need to fix up on the beast so I had my girlfriend take some and send them to me. First let me say the bike is VERY dirty and needs to be cleaned up. If you have a weak stomach and can not stand to see a dirty Hayabusa, these pictures may not be for you! The prior owner had it under a pavilion in his back yard which OBVIOUSLY didn't keep it clean. I only had time to pick it up and store it in my shed before I left. Secondly, let me say that I plan on replacing the two side fairings for two reasons. First, the previous owner laid the bike down pulling into his driveway in the rain and scraped up the right side fairing pretty bad (which you will see). So I plan to replace the right side fairing. Right after he laid it down, he decided to order the full Yoshimura exhaust including header (the triangle shaped one) to replace the scratched exhaust and he also ordered frame sliders and cut holes in the damn fairings (that's the reason I plan to replace the left side fairing). After I replace both fairings, then i'll probably put on some no-cut frame sliders if anything.
Also, around the gauges theres a small dent in the carbon fiber bezel so I'd like to replace the bezel. Has anyone replaced their bezel with a chrome one that would like to get rid of the stock one for a couple bucks? Are there any other gauge bezels that fit perfectly that anyone recommends? I thought about getting the chrome bezel but I'm worried that it'll create glare on a really sunny day. Anyone have one?
Here's the funny part. I've already started modding it and I haven't even been able to ride it yet! haha Here is a list of the mods i've done and the mods I plan to do:
1. Tsubaki Chain & Aluminum sprockets *Already ordered on the way to my house*
2. Oil change – Mobil 1 Full Synthetic *as soon as I get home*
3. spark plugs *as soon as I get home*
4. new battery *as soon as I get home* (Any suggestions on a good battery?)
5. Mototeck Undertail - *plan to order this soon*
6. NWS Hugger (rear tire plastic piece that prevents stone chips) http://www.n-w-s.com/ *Will be ordering this soon at the same time as undertail*
7. RaceReady Painted Dash Panels http://www.raceready.us/ *These will come as soon as I fix up the paintjob*
8. Fairing/paint job *ASAP. Anyone selling used plastics for an 02 silver/gray that are in good condition?*
9. Suzuki gel seat *Soon*
10. arai RX7 Corsair Helmet *Best Deal I found so far was on ebay for $549.99 plus $20 shipping*
11. PC III *eventually
12. Suzuki hayabusa jacket *Best deal so far is $330 at a local Suzuki dealer*
13. GIPro with gear indicator *eventually*
14. speedo healer *eventually*
15. Clear Alternatives LED front turnsignals *ordered and on the way to my house* (Anyone have them?)
16. zero gravity SR windscreen dark smoke *ordered already on it's way to my house to replace the ugly Irridium one the prior owner put on*
17. Handlebar End Caps (I believe they're called weights) *ordered new silver ones and they're on the way to replace the nicked one on the right handle that was slightly scratched when the prior owner dropped the bike*
If anyone is interested in a mint condition Irridium double bubble let me know! lol
Anyway guys...here are the pictures of a very dirty Hayabusa that needs a replacement fairing and a new undertail because the one the prior owner put on is UGLY!
You can see the dent in the carbon fiber around the gauges...they are otherwise OK
There's the side with damage
Again, side with damage
closeup of the damage
THAT is the ugly undertail I was talking about. It looks like it makes the stock taillight mount INSIDE the rear housing for a recessed look...ICK.
Rear shot (oh yeah...I'm not a fan of the sideways license plate mount either...simply because I want a custom plate that'll be visible such as "bad busa" =)
What a MONSTER. That's a 3 Cylinder water cooled 20HP John Deere GARDEN tractor! That things a beast!
