Plastic Surgery

[LA Busa]

After a couple of trips to NC to Busa Bashes I had a good bit of input on how to alter the rear of these fine bikes.

For whatever reason, I can not get my head around the undertails most people run. They look great but the lighting that you get is below what I think I have with the stock system - in my neck of the woods we have an over abundance of teenaged kids who REALLY need to see something back there blinking and flashing and the little diodes I have seen left me scratching my head.

Anyhoo, a quick search of this site (thanks goes out to Bullet Train) and some PMs to Revlis and I had some good advice on how to hack the rear 'mudflap' to open up the back of the bike and still keep a stock look and stock lighting.

I know, not a big deal, not a big time mod but the bike does look better from the back. A Dremel, an assortment of sand paper and a lovely and talented assistant and about 1 hour and here is what I have....

Believe me, it took some doing to put up the dremel and quit cutting.
This was three 'final cuts' later!
For whatever reason, I want to keep a somewhat stock look - no license plate relocation, the cops in my home town already KNOW ME and they tend to be a picky lot.
My 21 year old son / gear head was my first 'spot the mod' audience and he could not figure out what I had done, at least not right away.

I'll look into the integrator kit. Think Rev mentioned that one...

Good job.

Mine didn't last 2 hrs after I got it home.
I cut every bit of it off and relocated the stock turn signals.............
