How are the roads down there? Lots of tree lined two lanes? How about speed limits and traffic enforcement?

Welcome aboard. I read Brazil and remembered a video I watched of a thieve taking a man's ride at gun point and some undercover cop jumping out of his car and shooting the thieve. Welcome aboard and be safe out there.

Roads here are a mix. Mnay are in good condition, others in bad. Yes, lots of trees. Speed limit is 60mph, traffic is crazy, most driving 40-60 mph, others 60-110 mph, truck drivers are murderers and kamikazes in some situations. Very few places has an outstanding driving. Even in Korea taxi drivers runs at 90 mph inside the city! lol

I saw this video. Situation in São Paulo is critical. Many friends of mine just sold their bikes. Here in my place is very hard to have cases of big bikes stole. 90% of incidences here regards 150cc Honda bikes. Thans bro!

From the videos we see of the bikes there I'm guessing on a Hayabusa you will be President or at least Mayor by next month! LOL Welcome to the Brotherhood!

Excellent choice on pipes!

Ok bros, going streetfighter right now...
What happenned? Nothing. I always liked SF, but only now I had enough courage to do.
The objecvtive is to make a DIY SF with the lowest budget possible and using as much stock parts as possible.
Bought headlights, mirrors, turn signal lights and within some days it should be ready to run.
Just started disassembly, many things to do... If sombody have any doubts just ask.

Disassembly the bike is the easiest part. In a 1-hour-hand it will be down like the last pic.
If you don't know how to do it, send me your WhatsApp number and I'll send you the service manual.

The second nightmare is wiring. It is originally routed through outside the frame, left side of the bike. This includes a big fuse box and some relays. Look at the left side at this pic:

So I disconnected all plugs, removed the brackets from 2 relays, lifted the tank and started to rerout the wiring to inside the frame. There is a space between the frame and clutch cover where it is possible to pass the fuse box, so I used it. The fuse box is the biggest problem because of it's size, but I found a place to it beside the air box, under aceleration cables. Put it upside down and will fit perfectly. It is now 1 centimeter far from the engine, and I don't know if heat is gonna be a problem. After ready I'll check the area temperature. The relays are at the front of the air box under the tank, using each f*#&$ space available. Remember to remove the metal bracket originally placed there. Pay attention there is wiring passing through both sides of the drive box. Ignition and right buttons goes through right side. In this pic, the wiring is already in place.

headlights had already arrived.

Did this black tie because are both long distance headlights and cops here are not very cool with that. LED and xenon are illegal if the vehicle didn't come with it from factory.
It's H3 55w each.

Turn signal lights from China, metal cover, using the busa factory bulbs.
Easy adaptation. Improved seals, all did by myself. Invisible in the pic.

I'm now working in the panel's bracket. Soon I'll post some updates.

See ya
