Hey,

Nice bike - welcome and enjoy! Silly question, but how did you get the crate in and out of the pickup bed? 600 lbs is not easy to deal with??

Funny you'd ask...it was interesting. The busa crate does not have holes for the forklift on the ends. only on the side. We set one end on the truck, stood a pallett on end to prop up the other end while the forklift moved around to the end and pushed it in. Kinda raised my pucker factor seeing my bike teeter on that pallet, but it worked! When I got back to my dlr, two of us just pulled the crate out far enough to set it on the forklift blades.. Fun huh?

Beautiful!!  ..dont let that tank bag scratch your tank though!

believe me dude, I cleaned the crap out of it before it touched my tank!

I used a tak bag like that , on the silver you won't notice the scratches that bad ,but my red 04 LE I won't use it much . ceck out this post , we're trying to get a ride together. . Its the seattle, wa. post in the geographical sec. welcome to the board , Nice bike!

I had noticed that there were no fork lift areas on the end - very cleaver. My pucker factor would have been pegged!

Thanks for the response and nice bike!

With the help of Dustman and Jwcfbd, I have overcome my technology hadicap and figured out how to post pic's!  Here is the first day (last Tues).  Did my own dealer trade and picked up the bike at another dlr.  I took it back to my dlr and was riding a mere 4 hrs later.  Now I understand what y'all are talking about when describing this machine.  Wow!

glad to help. The bike looks great. Injoy

Both!!

Met my girl 23yrs ago, never looked back, absolutely no regrets. She's a keeper. She was OK with me removing 11K from savings to purchase the bike.

Met my first busa in '99. Wanted one ever since. My only regret is that I waited until now to act on it!
