Well I've only had my Busa for about a little over a month and this dang forum keeps taking my money! First of all, it persuaded me to snag one of the Harbor Freight Lift Tables. I bought the coupon on ebay for $.99 shipped and picked up the lift/wheel chock for about $350 total. This is the best tool I've purchased in YEARS. I cannot even express how much I love this thing. It makes life in the garage so much easier.
Next, although my Muzzy's 1464 has a 24v starter setup, after the motor was hot it didn't want to crank over and I'd have to wait for it to cool down. A little research here on the forum pointed me to the Ballistic lithium ion batteries ( Batteries - Ballistic Performance Components ). I can't say enough about these batteries. I replaced the standard battery with the Ballistic 12 cell. The stock battery was around 180 cca compared to 410 cca on the Ballistic. The Ballistic battery also weighs about 1/6th of the stock battery. My secondary battery was a smaller Power Sonic unit that put out about 80 cca. I replaced it with a Ballistic 8 cell that puts out 275 cca. Needless to say, even at it's hottest, my 1464 cranks over like a 600 with no spark plugs hooked up to a charger.
Lastly, I plan to do quite a bit of street riding and also as many trips to the drag strip as possible. Thanks to the forum I snagged a nice set of black front/rear wheels complete with good street Dunlop Q2's, rotors, cush drive, spacers and sprockets from a member for $375 shipped. Now I can simply swap out my rear wheel for street/strip and keep one with the super sticky shinko on it and the other with a harder compound shinko.
Will you guys please stop spending my money?!
