Hi I bought some AN fittings to start making the fuel tank drain system. Now I can drain the VP Q16 out when I switch to X98.
Uh oh.....and then it begins.....

Not really my Busa , but @MillertheFitter rode two hours to get here for service work on his 2019 bird.
Chris had the rear sprocket ( 45 tooth ) , and a set of Pilot road 5's shipped to me last week . Today I dismounted the old stock tires , and mounted up the fresh stuff . Balanced them , and cleaned the chain up .
We talked shop / mods . Chris sat on RJ to feel the weight difference. When he got off I opened the fuel cap to show him it was completely full to the top . I should of got a photo of his surprise.
Chris left behind some real nice green stuff for RJ mods lol .

I’ve heard nothin but good things about these tires, so I’m gonna see how they handle SETX/SWLA roads @ 100°+ sunny weather and summer showers.
You got your money's worth out of those tires...down to the cords.
Your bike is at least lighter than stock with those big cans off...
Hi Bryan, I note you will have the stock rear passenger peg holders on....have you ever considered removing them and perhaps fabricating an exhaust holder out of some exotic material?
I am seriously thinking about doing this as I will never carry a passenger and the passenger foot peg without an exhaust bolted to it looks out of place.
I was also wondering if the Gen 2 tail will bolt onto a Gen 1 aluminum sub frame?
@GAmedic , Those sprocket nuts don't look seated correctly , the thread is not sufficiently through the nut for proper strength . Have you got washers under them , because you do not need washers , those ti nuts are flanged . Just torque up the ti nuts to standard torque , the tread should be ideally flush or so with the top of nut .
