Man glad your pleased with it...It means alot more when you do the work yourself...I'm not mechanically inclined but I did all the mods to my bike myself just as you did...And I tell you my reaction was the same...I love my Muzzy above all else...I'm running 16/42 for street and track might want to give that a thought when you swap out no need for a new chain with that setup...Great acceleration and wheelie ability...
Yeah, there's a certain satisfaction that comes along with doing your own wrenching. I love it!
Gearing will likely be my next performance mod. Can't decide whether I should just drop a tooth up front to begin with, or whether I should just go ahead and go 16/42. I figure I'll end up at 16/42 anyway, so it's tempting.
I'm tempted to do a top end run before I change gearing though. I'm not into top end all the time, but I'd sort of like to peg the speedo at least once. I'm afraid that if I don't do it now, I'll never do it. I enjoy twisties but I'm afraid that once I get to the strip for the first time I'm going to want to set up the suspension for drag racing.
My gut feeling is that I should forget about that top end run and just forge ahead with my mods. I don't have the riding gear I'd like to have for that kind of run and I'm just having a hard time convincing myself to risk 180 + in jeans and a t-shirt, even just once!
When I decided to buy the busa I promised myself that I wouldn't get in over my head with it. I think a top end run right now would be doing just that. I've been to, ummmmm, well, I've been FAST (
) but not past where I was confident.
As for wheelies, I'm trying NOT to get ADDICTED to those things. So far, my only wheelies have been power wheelies, where the front tire rises just a few inches and floats for a ways before gently easing back down. I haven't purposefully pulled 'er up just to do a wheelie. I know if I ever do, I'll be hooked and will want to do it all the time. I'd rather you be the one wheel king!
What I want to do and CAN'T WAIT to do is run a 9 second 1/4 mile pass! That's what is gonna be schaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!
