Final Product, Top Mount Bars

[SSGT_B]

Here are the final pics from my top mount bar install. I think it came out good, even though I’m still missing the clutch line but no big deal. The overall ride is nice. Seating positioning is greatly improved for me although I would like a more comfy seat. If I had to do it all again, I would use Speigler instead of topkeyokes UK. Turnaround time was long but worse was the communication. Anyhow here are some pics

Also during the whole process I installed the RCS19 Brembo brake master, Rizoma bar ends, Rizoma Next fluid cup, Arashi brake rotors, HH pads, new clutch and welded clutch hub from Rob @boostedcycleperformance.

That looks really good mate, I think once I'm back on my feet I'll get a kit too
What back end is it? Looks a lot like the TT one I've seen on eBay.

toss the 1K back end , and you can get a comfy seat

Busa seat fits, just need to cut it down some and put gel in it.

Uh oh, you know what I’ve already said but

this angle looks, well, jus sayin.

Yea the angle make it look up way too high. But it’s all in the camera.

How many feet (is it) from the tip of the tail straight down to the tire? Two, three?

 

[SSGT_B]

Don’t judge....... . It’s only 5.

I'd love a quick report on how the brakes feel now if you have the time at some stage. Loving the end result

The brakes are greatly improved vs the stock mc. I can use 2fingers to stop it. I do think it still has the slightest “mush” to it so I bled the system again today. Got a few small bubbles out of master but still feels the same. I could leave it alone and do nothing and no one would be the wiser if they rode it but it will eat at me. I may take the calipers off again and rebuild again but this time use all new seals or I might try to crossbreed it with a 4pot set off another bike. Will have to research further to find a direct bolt on.

Looks good.

Went and ordered the Bandit mirrors last night. Should arrive Friday. Hope these fit the need and keep my hands out of them. Otherwise I might have to go the bar end route. Will post a new photo when they get in.

Great result Gerry!
Got pie?

Looks good back there but I might be a lil biased. I've owned 3 Busas. 1 Gen 1 and 2 Gen 2s...never rode any of them with a Busa tail. I've rode a friends Gen 2 with one though and I admit it was comfortable.

It's the belief of a few on here the Busa tail defines the essence of the bike...it has a distinct profile.

After seeing both, I agree although I do like the sleek lines of the Gixxer tail as well.
