New Member - my first Busa

Just wanted to introduce myself to the group.  My name is Eric Yow and I just got my first Busa.  I've ridden for years now and sold my last bike last summer.  I was getting ready to buy a house and changed my mind, deciding to put the down payment I had saved up on the new ride.  It's an 03 with 7800 miles.  I gave 6500 for it in Memphis.  The 2nd owner had chromed the levers, bar ends, stator and clutch covers, pegs, brackets, and sissy bar.  Not a fan of chrome, but whatever.  He put a full Hindle exhaust system on, too, which is nice.  It was lowered with dogbones in the back so as soon as I got it home I got it back up.  It's now in the middle of the 3 holes.  (stock height?)  It'd never been down but shows a few scratches from loading and unloading, then being stuffed in the corner of a garage to sit unused. Not a big fan of the LP flushmount rear blinkers, either, but whatever.

I've got to get tires, tags, and insurance.  I went ahead and ordered Avon Storms from Ronayers, after reading reviews on here.  I might need a new battery too.  I'll pull the battery and have it tested, I suppose. The guy gave me his swingarm extender blocks and the extended chain that he bought to go 6 over with, but never did. I'll not be putting those on, if you have any ideas what I should do with them. Thanks.

I've got tons of questions, but they'll get answered in due time.  Greetings, all!

you could sell the extensions for sure...you could probably even find a buyer or even trade some of the chrome parts you are not a fan of...post it in the appropriate sections and I'm sure you won't have any problem
