Modding the new Pashnit Gen 3 Busa

[pashnit]

The T-Rex brand is a little different from other slider brands as the kits use a cross member that connects the two sides for added strength.
Plus the idea of cutting holes in perfect stock fairings makes me cringe. Can't do it.

Kit for the Gen2

With fairing screens, requires some slight modification on the Gen2

They do work, bike tips over in the garage, won't touch the side fairings.

 

[pashnit]

On the Gen3, they attach with a combination of the frame bolts & right side pinch bolt.

I watched the install video on the T-Rex site and it recommended taping the fairing. Probably good advice.

Tight fit, but it actually went back together perfectly.

Lights on

T-Rex sliders installed. Pucks are easily removable, so if you damage one, just replace with a single bolt.

Bagster Tank Cover

Admit it, if you follow my stuff, you knew this was coming. I’m a big fan of this product. And, there are actually a lot of threads on this forum about the Bagster tank covers, so it’s not just me. Search for Bagster on this forum and quite a few threads pop up.

Around 2005, the West Coast Rep for Bagster called me up one day and asked if I would put one on my ’00 Hayabusa. When the West Coast Rep first contacted me, I didn’t know what Bagster even was. They are a France based company specializing in color-matched tank covers. He sent me one to match the blue/silver ’00, and I’ve been a zealous convert ever since. I’ve had them on the last 7 motorcycles I’ve owned. But they’re not just tank covers. They also cracked the code on tank bags. I probably own 10 tank bags. I’ve got magnetic ones, no-touch tank-ring mounted ones, expandable ones, small, large, even different colors besides ubiquitous black. With Bagster the tank bags are universal; any Bagster tankbag will fit any tank cover. I’ve got 3 Bagster tank bags and prefer to buy them used off eBay.

on my Gen1

This brand has gained a lot of popularity with the tour and travel community. Bagster is out of France and makes a terrific product. The fit is perfect and I love the color-matched look.

First thing I ordered for the new Gen3 was a Bagster tank cover. Oddly, not out of France, but Australia was cheaper due to the exchange rate of the AUD vs USD. I’ve always waited 2 months to get them from France, but this one arrived with days from AU. I put it on while I had the panels off as it attaches to the edges of the fuel tank on the side, then with a strap at the front & rear. To fuel up, you unclip the rear and rotate the bag forward.

Someone will ask, so here's the seller: CTA POWERSPORTS ONLINE | eBay Stores

Remember my camo stickered tank, yeah, we're gonna cover that up.

I also had Bagster on my Z1000

Had one on my ST1100

Do you have any discount codes?

For what? Bagster? Nope.
I just hunt for the best deal like everybody else. My days of being a reseller & buying stuff at dealer cost are long done.

Can't believe how long I've been reading your posts about the Hayabusa.

20 years? This little one is in her third year of college. That's how long.

I bought my first Hayabusa in the fall of 2003.

BLING

Not much bling plans for this bike right now, I’ve had frame caps for many years and since the frame is the same on all three Gens, those installed easily.

 

[pashnit]

Tried putting my axle caps on and guess what!?

Gen3 has different front axles than Gen2. Nuts.

Didn’t see that coming.

Great job as always @pashnit , now after the first year of riding are we gonna see it painted to the pashnit blue?? Just send a little off seeing you with a black busa

I would set my little girl in her car carrier next to my first gen2 while I worked on it(had it over 2 years then), when she was just a few months old...
she turned 12 a couple weeks ago.

I noticed that while comparing part numbers to see if my aftermarket wheels would fit the gen3 in case I decided to get one.
