Apparently they are loads better for braking. Tbh mine were awful but braided lines and a bleed/new fluid did make a difference but they still arnt amazing. Brembos iirc are standard on the gen 2 which has abs? I may be wrong tho.

2013 was the year Busa got Brem's. Did you throw some SBS or EBC HH sintered in there. They will help too.

Nah not looked yet, tbh I am just doing bits as I find them cheap on ebay and such. I havent even rode her that much since owning her - maybe 1k miles or so. Covid didnt help nor did deciding to streetfighter tho in fairness haha.
Shes due an MOT soon so I will have to calm down with mods until thats done and out the way, nuisance these things are really but I guess some dont look after their vehicles. Hopefully my rear pipe brake res passes...

No bike/car inspects any more in this part of the world unless you get nicked by the Coppers. Then you get an inspection order to fix/replace...7 days grace period or something. I have been bit a few times. Once for a tag/plate issue...once for "Ape-Hangers" on one of my chops.
Went home...fixed the problem...took it down to the cop shop,get the OK...

pat on the head "Good Boy" free to go. Takes 5 minutes.

Then of course....back home,re-install mods.

Back to terrorizing the public.

Whats the deal with yer rear brake...bean can? Wire twisties? No workie the light?

Its master cylinder is just a piece of pipe haha. Strictly the guidance says this must be attached to the frame with a bolt but im hoping they take no notice. You might see it in this pic.
Round here its an annual check and they are strict. Number plate size, rear reflector, allsorts of crap.

 

[Bert]

Well that was a waste of time. Seller won't post it to Scotland d as someone didn't show to take it on a pallet before... but will post to anywhere else in the uk on a...pallet. offered to pay the £120 post and all. What a knob. Everytime he lists it I may get a friend to buy it local to me and waste his time!

 

[rubbersidedown]

Is he including shipping? If so,I'll buy, have him ship it to Canada,then re-direct to you.

Hahahaha my mate lives near him, he offered to aquire it but nah, maybe just wasn't meant to be. With that attitude probably a lucky escape haha.

Is that family

Well its been a busy day! Got my egr thingy pair valve wotsit blanked, headers on ( ignore read of exhaust, its only on to get a blast - LOOK UPON IN AWE AT MY BRACKET MADE FROM A SHELF ) oil cooler removed to find it was blanked anyway... not sure why it was left on tbh but well well. Bikes really..... REALLY leary front end

 

[WuzzaCBXRider]

No hump....

 

[rubbersidedown]

It's All Ballz Bert. Like the line you chose for the exhaust. Nice fab on the hanger.
Got the NASA provided line in...good. Looks sharp ,cooler gone.
Clocks all working as they should?
Idea for ya....

i can't remem what you decided for frame and swingarm but with that much exposed I would highlight it. I polished it all by hand. Sandpaper and elbow grease. I made a buffing wheel for final polish out of a 1 horse electric motor with a built in clutch...you could dead stop it,and it spin back up. Anyway...lo-dolla' mod...lots of time thou. You may want the flat look....but imagine how she'd look shiny...

my own paint job too. 37 painted parts.Everything else polished including the stock gutted cans.
