I had been away from the Busa for about five years since i had to sell my first one to buy my house. After I got back on my feet I went on a Ducati kick for a while but in the back of my mind I wanted to get another Busa.
That brought me back to this site and the hunt was on. It didn't take long to find a great deal here. This '02 LE had just over 1800 miles and was just about stock. It looked as if it was put away wet a few times and was sitting for about two years but that's an easy fix. It started right up in -10 deg weather and he had all the service records and a few extras.
It was located in northern Maine on the Canadian border about 9 hours from my house. As luck would have it, work brought me half way up there to Bangor,ME. A few hours and inches of snow later I had it home and stared right into the tear down.
Here it is a few months later and I got it back together. Of course when i started i was going to stay on budget and keep it mainly stock
YA RIGHT!!
Here is the list:
Dymag 7 spokes w/ sprocket
Michelin Road2
Galfer waves and HH pads
Goodrich lines
Racetech springs and gold valve forks
Penske 2-way
Akrapovic Race
Woodcraft stator cover
CanadianMike sprocket cover
Samco RAD hoses
Silver ZZZ
Gillles adjusters
TL pegs
Rocca hugger
Top Gun
PPM gauge bezel
Suzuki DB
Matris damper
6K HID
Euro switch
Yellow high beam bulb
Helibars
Plenty of new fasteners
Now, I may need a new PC3R. The only aftermarket thing that was on the bike when I bought it.
I know how everyone here loves pictures so here are a few I took along the way.
Here is a pic from the day I brought it home..
