well, the only good thing about winter is the resulting time for some modifications. as it´s freakin´ cold here for some weeks, i already started my mods some time ago and hopefully finish most of the work this weekend. hope you enjoy my little documentation. let´s start with some comfort-stuff:
i bought a set of buell (r.i.p.) footpegs and modified them to fit the busa. making them fit was not that difficult and just took about half an hour. here are some pix:
the beginning. quite ugly and far away from being cool, the originial footpegs:
the buell-stuff looks much better and promised to offer more comfort:
may the games beginn:
the buell pegs are too wide to match, some grinding makes it fit:
a few minutes later the new peggies were installed and ready to be tested:
200 miles later i found out two things: comfort is much better than with the genuine stuff. driving is much more fun, feels completely different, though the pegs are just about one inch repositioned. hell, yeah! success!
the other thing is: my shoes collide with the exhaust. that means: my shoes get bbq-ed and the exhaust is scratched by my feet. that´s unexceptable. so i had to go back to my garage and found a solution that makes me, the exhaust and my shoes happy. pix to come this weekend.
as i hope to finish the other modifications these days, too, i´ll post some more pix pretty soon. i created a one-off passenger seat cover, did some paintjobs, installed a wider back-tyre, adjustable links, new windscreen, new brakes and some other stuff. can´t wait to reassemble the bike tomorrow.
