Don’t y
Don’t you have some fingerprints to go wipe off your fairings, sir.

Carbon looks killer against the gold. I’m looking forward to working on it.

Turns out having a pregnant wife hinders wrenching time just as much as the holidays do lol
Spent 3 hours cutting the fairings for my downpipe tonight. It is far from perfect but I’m happy with how it came out. I cut a little extra off the back side of the top fairing but I’m okay with that. I took these pictures before finishing the edge on the lower fairing as well but yall get the idea.
The two good angles
And where you can see i took a little too much out lol
Also started dealing with the oil feed. Gonna have to pick up a 45* fitting tomorrow and turn some of the threads off of the T fitting to get it to turn and be snug in the orientation I need it to be.
What I have on hand:
What me and Scott want it to be:
Tomorrow night I’ll drop the pan and tap the oil return into place, change the spring in the gate and finish the oil feed and that should wrap up the under parts install.
That leaves:
Injector pigtails to install (they’re in the mail)
Vacuum lines from the plenum to the boost controller and waste gate
Vacuum lines from throttle body to blow off valve
Intercooler mounting and fluid filling
Intercooler pump wiring
Cold side couplers to tighten everything into place.
If all goes slightly according to plan I could have my first start before the new year. I’m definitly slow at this install but it’s fun doing it all myself a few hours a night knowing if I ever need to get back into the system to fix anything I’ll know exactly where I need to be.

Regarding the source for your turbos oil, I have recently purchased some AN fittings that go from 16 mm pipe thread to 4AN Male. The end result to me is a little bit more solid and trustworthy, and to be honest I like AN fittings better than threaded pipe fittings.
I started to take my own pressure switch out and I did not like how the threads felt and I was afraid I was going to damage the engine case using my brass T-fitting. The oil gallery is right above the switch, so the exact same pressure is there.
My usage is for a remote pressure sensor, to go to a digital gauge. Here is the thread that I got my basic information to get started. GEN 2 HAYABUSA oil pressure gauge installed

I’m definitly going to look into this. I’m not a fan of the pipe thread either.

Yeah think of it as a radiator for intake air temps. It’s a second cooling system independent of the bikes engine coolant but will be a second radiator infront of the original one that runs coolant through the intake manifold before the air goes into the throttle bodies. Compressing air creates heat, the more boost the more heat and this is the easiest way to combat it on pump gas.

Alright. I didn’t forget about yall, I just got busy with life and would spend an hour a night wrenching and progress was slower than old dudes getting it up. Let’s catch everyone not on FB up!
This biggest news, she lives!!!! I haven’t ridden it in the street yet but it’s been heat cycles and leak checked. As with all my projects I kept adding too much stuff while I was going lol.

Is to the things I added lol
I now have a 1 piece carbon tail and carbon seat pan from Motorfix. I also have the 1 piece front nose but haven’t fitted it on the bike yet. Together the tail section saves about 6.5 lbs, more if you have a full stock section (I already had a carbon tail and the foam removed from the stock seat pan) seat fitment was no different than the stock pan, the tail as a whole needed some trimming of the plastic undertail and is 8.5/10. It’s not for everyone or the purists, but if you don’t mind the bike looking good from 5 ft but not 6” it’s awesome.
This is the nose piece media photos:

So still things left to do in the next few days:
I got this cool little gauge that is an extension of the maxx and will let me monitor basically anything I need to, and the fork mount I bought doesn’t show up till Monday
I also got carbon fairing vents to get rid of the last of the red trim on the bike since the Motorfix carbon deleted the rest of the red. I got these from carbon fiber racing.com and the finish and fit is better than my motocomposites pieces
I’m also waiting on my rear core moto to get sent back to me after having the sprocket side aerodisc cut. I absolutely cannot wait to see this in person
I also bought Kamikaze’s carbon low profile tank. It holds 3.5+ gallons and is standard fuel safe so it was a no brainer at this point
If anyone is looking for mods I have the following for sale:
- Motorfix carbon taillight with 6 LEDs
- Motorfix carbon headlight with an upgraded LED projector so it’s safe to ride at night
- BT Moto handheld tuner with my stock ECU included so you don’t have to flash your stock one, BT Moto stacks and DNA filer (would like to just sell it as a package)

Got the tank and seat on and everything under the seat buttoned up tonight. The seat fitment is about as perfect as you could get.
Also starting to figure out where I can mount my air system for my shifter. Originally I was going to put a 7oz bottle and regulator from MPS in the tail, but the one piece fairing is a bitch to get on and off so I’m experimenting with remote/easier access locations with these 90g threaded disposable canisters. They have an adapter that screws into the regulator I already have and I figure they should be good for 80-100 shifts which will easily cover what I need them for. They’re like $7 a bottle so long term I’ll figure out something else but for now they aren’t a bad deal. I’m thinking a few “P” clamps to hold the bottle in place should be adequate for now?

So, we’ve ridden around the block and had a bunch of heat cycles and have no leaks or issues so it’s time to put fairings and stuff back on.
Coremotos should go on this weekend, kamikaze carbon tank is in the mail, carbon knee panels and ram air tube covers as well. I’m still hoping to be sub 460lbs with the turbo, and once I get my hands on a new subframe from Greece with a real race tail to be 445 >. For now I’ll just enjoy it a little lol
I did have to notch the fairing for the air filter nuts it’s not noticeable when the bikes in the ground.
Then finally here’s the profile of the Kamikaze tank on BoostedCatfish’s Gen 3. It’s amazing how much it lowers the body line of the bikes.
