What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

[ottafish]

Wow.... so a quick spit and polish then ?
You don’t muck around do ya mate,
That’s about 5k right there

Lol...
I've been collecting some parts for a while now. Was just working up the energy to make it happen..
I work in the travel industry and am often bored when back in the hotel room. I sit surfing the web and think, the Busa would really like one of those thingies.. And somehow PayPal says thanks for your hard earned.

I even decided to buy a few bits of Ti to see what I think..

This is the first bike I've had where it just works for me. Where in the past I've never felt fully 100% connected with my bikes. The Busa and me seem to mold into a single unit. For that reason alone, she's a keeper and I want to do right by her.

There's a few of us planning a ride around the coast into Adelaide in Feb. Hope we can catch up again if you're around

I plan to be around for sure , unless fate steps in..... I will look forward to it bro , let me know if there is anything I can help out with to make the stay better .

Haha well let’s just I tried to drill the bushing first drilled a little, tested no good, drilled a little more, no good drilled a little more and wellllll....came out the other side. Lololol it actually worked like that but would have destroyed my lever.

Amazing that it is off by that much. There must be other busa owners having the same problem. I have heard a few people comment that they had this problem with aftermarket levers but it does not seem to be consistent with all bikes of the same model using the same lever. Maybe there is variation in clutch master cylinders among the same bikes.

Yea I honestly think that the clutch master I put on (since my bike was wrecked, my original was wiped) is slightly diff than my original one was. It came off an 06 but perhaps the 06 was like a late model production.

Pulled the trigger on a pair of RS Taichi riding pants from WeBike and finally got around to installing some HEL front brake lines - basically anything to try and take my mind off this toothache...... WeBike website was so confusing the install and bleeding of the brake lines took less time. Front caliber upgrade is delayed indefinitely - blew my budget on number 2's College room & board

NICE LINES!!
Are those your original calipers?

Did some riding today, then a massive storm came while at a family party. Had to stash my bike under a tent and keep it dry. Then rode some more!

Snapped up a few pics along the way.

Your bike looks really good and blue is not not my color!

 

[Nastee]

Did I make that 4 u?

Yes you did the bottom of pan & i did sides after you explained what riveter to buy.

Yes I believe so (purchased the bike used only in March of this year). The calipers look new only because they were covered in brake fluid 15 minutes earlier....

Thank you, no worries I have enough blue to go around for the both of us lol.

Brake fluids is no joke, I spilled some on the shop floor while bleeding my brakes. I left it and came back and it ate through the floor paint, all the way down to raw cement again.
Good thing you got it off lol.

Who's did you go with? Have been thinking of upgrade to rectifier.

 

[john blaze]

Don't feel bad i had solved my electrical problem few weeks ago. Went riding stopped at beer store for 3 tall ones. They did not have my beer so i bought 15 pack; didn't have bungees with so ended up with 11 beers in trunk & 2 in each jacket pocket.

Measure every thing 3 times! Bryan bent the bottom of pan to my measurements since he has Gen2 & i riveted sides on as not sure how deep i could get away with for sure.
