the fed ex truck dropped off a box yesterday afternoon containing my replacement left fairing, replacement slidder and a givi windscreen.  i couldn't wait to get started even though i am one handed (cast on left arm/hand).  i first replaced the windscreen. very easy to do.  then i removed the scratched up left fairing and did a lot of studying about how to cut the new hole for my slidder. i laid one on top of he other and marked it, then i remvoved that area of foam, then put the playdough on the spot and pushed the fairing against the slidder bolt head.  i then drilled my pilot hole in what looked to be the best spot for the hole cutter.  i ended not getting it dead center but it worked and the slidder is on. i am just going to get some touch up paint and clear to put on the scratches on the center fairing and front fender.  its amazing what you can do one handed if you want to bad enough.

When you ordered your panels, did you have to tell them the specific year and color scheme? I didn't know that the colors all had a standard layout-

Also, how did you ding up your fairing? If the reason was lame, just tell us that a dump truck backed into you or something

Looks good GW. Nice screen.

BUSAFETT- GW was attempting to be the first BUSA to participate in MX freestyle, and almost pulled a backflip.

YIKES.

When I think about getting nuts w/my Busa, I think about my 7 month old kid and also the book value of the bike.. That brings me back!

I have the same color scheme on my '05- So, I'm downloading the above pic to remind me of what mine COULD look like if I get carried away!!!

busaett,
new bike, new tire, raining, mid thirties temp, bike got away from me in a slow right turn. high-sided on the left, scratched up brand new busa and cast on left arm from elbow to mid-hand for 12 weeks. cast off sometime in may.

So sorry to hear that Richard- At least you'll be all healed for Summer! I already know on my '05 it doesn't take much for them to get away from ya.

glad to hear you are going to be ok. I would keep that other bike far from the busa so it don't try to suck the shine on the busa.

GW- check out this Woodcraft stator cover.............$165.00

will be looking to replace the stator cover at some point. i think the billet covers that have the kanji on them look pretty good. some of the ebay merchants are selling them pretty cheep too. i don't know if all the billet ones are the same quality or not. there are some pretty wide price disparities between what seems to be the same cover.
