I've been reading hayabusa.org now for about 6 months, and I really appreciate the positive tone of the posts and helpful information.
I started out with an old Yamaha Virago 750 which I rode around for four years, traded that in on a Katana 600 and rode that around for 2 years, traded that in on a GSXR 600 and rode that around for 3 1/2 years and now I have my Busa. I just picked up the 2006 Red and Black on Saturday. I've been meaning to post and say hello since then, but couldn't stay off the bike long enough. This thing rocks.
It really is all that I thought it would be. Can't wait to start on some mods. I really like the look of the fairing grills that are sold on eBay. Two kinds seem to be popular, the chrome grills ( <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUZUKI-HAYABUSA-GSXR-1300-CHROME-FAIRING-SCREENS-GRILLS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34284QQ

Z4627029170QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW" target="_blank">eBay Aluminum Grills</a> )
Does anyone have any experience with these two types? I'm wondering if the chrome is really that much more noticable than the aluminum to justify the price. I also wonder how hard they are to clean and will the chrome eventually dull to look the the aluminium?
Again, great site. I look forward to reading, posting and learning more about my bike.
Cheers
