The Kawabusa build, any tips or advice?

[07BUSA420]

I am building a drag strip only bike using a 2011 Hayabusa 1340 motor. Any good mods I should know about? Picture soon

 

[GNBRETT]

well is everything else stock? that wud be a VERY long list.

Lower, longer, more power.

I would start by finding a Hayabusa frame and ditching the Kawi maybe?

 

[07BUSA420]

This is a custom (Harley style) steel frame from the 80's I would guess. It has been stretched, raked, extended to a hard tail rear, 5 foot wheelie bar, one piece lift off plastic, fuel cell (with a hole in the center to hold a NOS bottle). STILL working on getting the pictures from my phone on to here.

Is it set up for a flat slick?

 

[07BUSA420]

Yup Kyle, I just ordered a 26-7-17 Mickey Thompson ET drag slick for it today.
Gonna add a shift light, air shift, and possibly NOS. ater that...not sure.

HD clutch, something that grips and doesn't let go.

-D

If it is a stock 1340, I think you have to do some top end work if you want to spray any thing over a 40 shot. There are some real experts on here tha say for sure.

Dscahill, will HD clutches fit in a busa motor?
Side Note, is the "sca" in your handle for the SCA as in knights and such??

 

[07BUSA420]

good info NOSbig!

 

[KyleJ]

Look into something like an MTC lock up for a clutch. I loved mine.

What's your budget for this build?? That's gonna be a key factor in what's miss you can and can't do

 

[mysql]

wait, what?

It's a Hayabusa motor on a Harley frame? Where does Kawasaki come into play?

 

[Don Hardcastle]

Maybe he's using a Kawi headlight.

 

[KyleJ]

It's probably something like an old KZ drag frame.

When he wrote HD clutch, I think he meant Heavy Duty, not Harley Davidson. Just a guess
