My Busa So Far

[magifesq]

Velocity Stage 1 turbo kit, single sided swingarm.  Right now its pretty naked, I'll get it some skins pretty soon

 

[magifesq]

WTF!!! This thing won't allow any photos??
I have 5 good shots of the turbo and single sided swingarm, but none of them will upload.  They're only 1.3 mp photos??

dude, that's huge... Open then in Paint and make sure they are around 1024x768 or less resolution and then do Save As jpeg... that should make them a lot smaller (like 100-200 kb)

 

[magifesq]

OK, I got one down to only 130k and it still won't post WTF??

[magifesq]

Maybe I'll eventually get some smoked translucent bodywork and paint the tank silver to match.

 

[Lucky34]

Nice !!!

 

[metamorphasis]

awesome
cool project

I see you used a single-side swingarm off a '91 Honda VFR

 

[magifesq]

yep, it wasn't too hard to get to fit.

 

[magifesq]

Now this bike is about ridable - the VFR swingarm came with a 43 tooth rear sprocket so I had to put an 18 on the front to compensate (with the turbo on it - I don't need any sprocket mods to help it!!) I'm working on assembling a body kit - more pix to come

Ah hah, I just asked if anyone had done this swingarm mod.
What modifications did you need to make to the swingarm to get it to fit? I'm going to be doing this swap on my 'busa soon.

Did you need to make spacers so the pivots would be the right diameter?
Did you need to narrow/widen the swingarm any?
Is the shock at the same angle as stock?
What other modifications did you have to do?

 

[magifesq]

It took a little bit of all that to make it work.
