'Busa stripped down for powdercoating

[brumanchu]

I finally pulled the trigger this weekend and decided to strip her down for some powdercoating.
Sending out the front and rear sets, wheels, mastercylinder, misc bolts and spacers.

Thanks to all the people putting such great write-ups here, makes it easy. I don't mind tearing into cars, but was a little nervouse about the bike.
Here are a couple of before and during pictures, I'll post the after pics once I get things back from coating.

Now, if i could just get Travis from T&M P/C to pick up the phone...

Gotta lose those stock cans before you do anything else!

Who and why strip down a motorcycle in peek riding weather

Are you changing the color of the wheels ?

 

[Got-Busa?]

Send off the OEM levers while you are at it...

cuz it's gonna look like a new bike in a week, and i'll ride it twice as much the rest of the summer

yep, I have a red in mind. Been thinking about a custom kanji decal to simplify the look a little.
I'm a fan of the minimalist look. Clean lines, crisp color, strategic use of chrome. Not a fan of the fatty tires, don't wanna show bike or nothing, I like to keep the ride close to stock. (says the guy with an 8" stretch )
