New to the forum and new to the Hayabusa family

He’s not selling but KBB and NADA haven’t yet priced the 99s as anything other than a 20 yr old Hayabusa. Of course, a collector would pay more for the right low mileage original.

Does anyone know if the gen 2 front fender is a direct bolt up and fit one the gen 1?

No it don't , different fork bottoms and different front guards .

No disrespect I get it but a buyer into 99 ,00 or a museum may pay a lot for a one owner unmodified. c10 may be able to say but i think enough for a brand new bird with right buyer.

I get you but I love it too much and it means too much to me to let it go like that.

Dang it man. I like the look of the gen 2 front fender better but it’s no big deal.

If you do have rust in the tank, get a gallon of Evaporust. Half fill the tank and shake it, let it sit overnight, shake again, flip over(to let all the inner tank surface to soak).
That will safely remove All rust in a couple days easily. It's biodegradable, reuseable, and has no stink or fumes.
Look into fuel pump and filter upgrades as well.
Welcome to the org.

Isn't there a special trophy-thing for riders who post comments such as these?? IMHO, there should be. @KingDC_88: I'll ride with you anytime - but, of course, I say that to everyone on this forum...

What’s up everyone. I’m new to the forums and also new to the Hayabusa family and thank you for letting me join. I recently inherited a true 1999 (black and grey) Hayabusa. It has been sitting for a good while and I need to do a few maintenance things to it. What are common issues that you guys have ran into that I should attack to prevent from happening; and also what is the factory chain link count on the 99-07 chain?
