I’m running aftermarket fairings with NO foam and minimal heat shielding. . . Doesn’t appear to make a scrap of difference, been on for 2 years 24,000kms, still good to go!

OK my foam comes out this winter! Thanks for the inFOAMation!
You my friend are obsessed as @michael parris heuberger , @c10 about extreme weight loss !! Me though , I may get the bug with this bike too , I am not there yet though , but will store your info anyway !!While you're at it, take that frame rail off the LH side. Figure out some P-clips to attach the wire harnesses to, go with an aftermarket clutch line....there's another pound. I have had my LH side rail off for about 4 years and no trouble whatsoever.I turned the battery box rear bolt hole for the rail into an electrical ground. There's how-to threads for all this stuff over at ninjaforums.
They’re pretty much just for insulation right? They help to keep the heat from radiating, may keep the vibes down and reduce fairing flex, maybe even shield the sound a bit.
Yes , that's why I'm keeping it on my L2 , except under my carbon sections .
Okay , the 14R is back together and ready to ride . I haven't installed the clutch kit yet , and a set of rearsets is due to arrive next week , but basically this is it for awhile . I will get out for a ride as soon as I can , and dial in the forks .
Hahahah , not yet bro , I got a tail tidy the first week I got this bike , but I can't be seem to find the energy to install it , maybe this weekend .
I think it looks stealth from the law , because it certainly is pretty loud from the pipe , pc5 and ecu flash ... looking forward to a visit to the dyno in the coming weeks .

Im a little excited to see numbers this kaw has, I'm sure I've seen it somewhere but what were the numbers on that beautiful busa of yours toad??
It was dyno'd only once when pipe and pc5 with generic Brocks map 183bhp and 105ftlb . Since then it has had a great ecu flash so now de restricted etc. , it has some little things to hopefully add a bit as well . I honestly have been meaning to get it to a mates dyno , and I think now both of my machines will be visiting , when my mate gets back from NZ holiday in around 4 weeks .
Are you gonna put some miles on it before redlining it on a dyno?
It has got a bit over 5000km now on it , 4500km when I bought it , so yeah I'm going to ride it a bit I guess from now till then ( dyno ) .

NICE! Makes me kind of sorry I didn't keep my ZX14 along with my busa...
That is looking amazing. Can't wait to hear a RoadToad ride report. I really love the Brocks, looks sharp. Ohlins too! Those BSTs really lighten the look too, pretty sharp. I look at this bike and I think that's what the Busa should have been had Suzuki given a dam!
PS: Worte this a day ago and forgot to hit send! Getting old is a B!

Keeping the stock footpegs? Was just curious if not what your choice of replacement peg would be.

Before I put it back on yesterday , I was looking at how nice it looked without it , but put it on anyway for now at least .
