We had storms for the last few days

Also, added some vinyl to the 600. This bike had a large rust spot just behind the cap, and the previous owner put a "tank grip" that was made of a cut sheet of magnet material there to cover it up. I just sanded down the edges of where the paint was chipped and rust was showing and covered with this carbon vinyl I got off ebay. Then I ran a red pinstripe along it. Also notice (it's a bit hard to see in these photos) I ran black door edge trim along the edge of the tank. I did this on my 750 and thought it looked nice. It really cleans up a tank nicely in my opinion.

If you didn't mention the repair, I wouldn't even have noticed as it looks natural like that.

Looks great!

Just a quick shot down the street after washing my bike this afternoon

And I don't think I have mentioned anything about the cafe bike I'm currently working on, but here's a pic of something I've been fooling around with for it. I put a '97 750 front end on it and for the indicator lights (turn, N, and Hi Beam) I drilled and tapped some holes in the upper clamp. I picked up some LED holders from my local Radioshack and I'll be wiring up some indicators. I think it should look pretty cool when it's all done.

Here's the general idea of what the bike will be

I'll post some more photos of the bike as a whole in the near future here

Another from the other day. might be hitting up a local bike meet tomorrow. I haven't 100% decided yet but I know there are a few other Busa's around. might be cool to check out the others since I barely see them.

Do any of you guys have any experience with MC Dyno Tech / Hitman?

If so, I would like to hear your opinions...

Ive been using a Canon 6D body since like idk 2012 or 2013 so it's old. But I have a few different prime lenses I use (I had a 50mm 1.4 but i just recently broke it, 35mm 1.4, and 135L)

Washed up the Busa for a small get together today

EDIT: Oh and my dad and I are buying the old house in the background in these photos and the 4 lots that go along with it so we can have a shop/garage to store all of our toys. I've been parking all of my vehicles in the gravel for the past 2 years since buying this house almost and it's finally time to get a nice space going.

Also, here are some updates on the GS that I have not been posting since I didn't have any Busa content to go along with it

How the clamp looks on the forks

I bought myself a bender and a welder and made the hoop finally

And I found out the expensive headlight brackets I bought do not fit with my small headlight so I mocked up some spacers to get the feel of it, but I will be replacing them with some machined pieces I designed in CAD

and that's about it for now. The plan is to start on the electronics tray and do the seat/tail next.

Great photos and work on the GS. Saving the house and the lots has got to be a good feeling.

Oh I guess I didn't really go into detail on that. We aren't saving the house. It's falling apart. We're going to let the local PD use it as a practice burn and then were going to dig out the hill side and build a large garage level with the road.

Still probably a good thing.

and now i realize i said PD when I meant FD lol. but yeah. It's an eyesore up on our street. The property has been for sale for around 15 years I've heard. We got a good deal on it haha

Replaced some bolts today. @202mphbusa sent me a light tank bolt and spacer and it looked amazing.

I weighed the OEM combo and compared against the new one. 1.75oz vs .70oz. Not too shabby.

and then I replaced the bolts in the side fairings, tail, front fender, and the upper tank bolts with some countersunk hardware from ProBolt.

Do you need some titanium to help feed your lightweight addiction?
I know a guy....

Some parts I will need in titanium yeah. I’m going to be getting into some carbon stuff this coming year as well. I’m going to play around with making some parts for my 750 first and then I might move on to the Busa. I have other mods in mind this year that are more pressing though.

Remembered I had some photos that were never posted. Some friends and I had a little get together/bike meet a few months ago and I just never posted these...
