What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

[mabupa]

Yes bro , in reality not necessary , unless you want more adjustability on lever bite . This can be adjusted now from normal street , to race aggressive , so is desirable for this , but your RCS is already a great functioning pump . I and others love this stuff , and perfect excuse to upgrade to this to try out the 19 over my 17 .

Cool deal! You should order some of those fancy quick disconnect lines to go with it and give us a review on the lines

If these work as good as they look for $10 bucks, I might have to get @sixpack577 a bear. Lol! I remembered that my iso grips had a spare throttle tube, so I just pulled that one out and used it with new grips. Made it all a 10minute job.

Guess I’ll owe him a beer too. Installed the same on mine this weekend, along with a heated grip kit I bought from c10.

I will just refit new crush washers and fit this straight up to my existing fren tubo carbon lines / aluminum fittings , real light weight setup . I would like that trickest setup if I was running the FGR 300 series superbike fork , and monoblocs , but I cannot ever see that happening bro !! I do dream about it though , I love that exotic hardware , but out of my price range , I am pretty happy with what I got for now !!

My feelings exactly. The old RCS has a lot of adjustability, you just have to stop and get a screw driver to do it. For road use, I agree with Road totally this is not necessary. Now if you didn't have the old RCS and were going from a stock pump to Brembo, maybe more reasonable. Soon Toad and I will have some impressions for all of you out there thinking about this mod.

Got a new front tire today. Ran the old one a little low for to long. But it was in the bike when I bought it and have put 12,000 in the last 2.5 years on the rear tire. The front is unknown.
Was not sure what to go with so went with another pilot 2.

 

[ROADTOAD1340]

I plan on running

these links , because they offer the option of jacking up the rear 6mm or lowering the rear around 20mm , and weigh 170 grams . I will fit to L2 sometime in future .

 

[ROADTOAD1340]

Future = today , fitted up the links , raining so thought I'd get onto it ....
Pulled the old set of ti lever bolts and replaced them with a lighter fresh set . The links are set at standard matched length , the shock has 5mm raised height currently .

Needle arrived, so disassembled shock, installed everything filled with oils and reassembled. Ow just need to figure out where to go to get it recharged with nitrogen View attachment 1589929

How did this work to release the gas? Does something else attach to the brass adapter ?Would a regular needle do the same thing? We aren't filling it with the needle so asking if i need to buy this needle.

Look great but WOW to pricey for me.

Worked great and I didn’t attached anything to it. I just pushed it in and released the nitrogen. Regular needle might work, but not sure how strong those are.

Thanks Miguel going to find out.

Out of curiosity installed a new stock OEM air filter

 

[Tetsuo1000]

Nothing, because this

C’mon!!

 

[MattyIce 79]

Finally got one. I’ve heard they’re the best. (Woodcraft also). Gonna help a lot with general maintenance. Oiling chain especially, lol!

That think looks beefy I have a set of knockoffs that bowed out and almost made me drop one of the bikes. They will be thrown in the trash or welded/reinforced.

Finally getting warm enough to work in the garage again. So I am trying to find a home for the Hella Sharptone Horns I bought. I was initially going to do the Red Supertones but they are even bigger and a little higher pitched. So I spent a bunch of time mocking up possible locations for them and the relay wiring harness yesterday. This pic was one iteration, though they would be facing outwards in this location rather than as I have them shown here. I didnt like this arrangement so I am still mocking up. Leaning towards having them both mounted on the right side with one horizontally above the intake tube. Work in progress, but man these puppies are LOUD!

Also have an MRA Vario Shield ready to fit up as soon as I get it all back together.

Okay so yes almost any regular needle will work you don't have to spend $29 to release the nitrogen. I used a 25 guage with needle tube, only i removed the plunger. Really wasn't that much gas or pressure could have used just the needle alone no Bull. No need to wait on a special needle to take shock apart.

There sure isn’t much in that tiny bladder. That’s great for people to know that is possible to do it on the cheap. I bought the needle to fill other shocks I had planned on doing that I wasn’t going to upgrade to a shradder valve like mine and needed to fill with at least plain air to get everything seated, before filling with nitrogen. You said you are installing a shradder valve, correct?

Yes bought all the parts you listed for me waiting on the gold valve. What did you use to compress that 14.5 spring? Looking at motion pro press since racetech is over 3 bills.

I loosened up the preload ring all the way back and used two ratchet straps. I don’t recommend it though, you have to be really careful.
