To be read in the voice of "Donkey" from "Shrek"...
Only a true friend would be that brutally honest.

Does it look better now?

Being equally honest, "Yes, it does look better!" And you can use whatever voice you want on that one!

Congratulations!

 

[Cecil_Stringer]

Thanks for all the compliments.
So am I hearing that RED is preferred over BLACK?

The RED is growing on me... but all along I entended to paint it Black.
What's your .02?

I had intended to paint mine either black or the blue Japan got last year. The red is really growing on me though. I get compliments on it where ever I go. I'm keeping it red at least for this summer.

 

[BigBSBusa]

The red is nice (changes every time you look at it), but I think I would prefer the black. I almost bought an '02 SE, but got sent away before I could buy it.

That is the Ist red Busa I have ever seen, up in my neck of the woods black seems to be the color of choice, stick to the red its pretty unique.

Took out the slack and adjusted it all the way.
Here's a pic:
Notice how high the gold threaded screws set up... and that there is no space underneath...

Definately not low enough...
Gonna try the "Reaper Riser's".
Have you get any insight on these?
Pros / Cons?

Sorry String....I run the billet top clamp on mine.
Lots of folks here with reapers though.
I'm just not quite sure I like the look of them, but I'm sure they work fine!!!

I will likely give the "Riser's" a go first... for $25 you can't got wrong.
However, it is my suspicion that I will end up with a triple.
Thanks for the info.

Sweet lookin' ride.

I only have one question (since MSF addressed my other one about a 3/4 drop with stock triple). How exactly do you do a general 2 degree timing advance on an injected bike? Ok, I have two questions... WHY would you want a straight 2 degree advance across the board instead of tunin' and mappin' throughout the RPM range?
