Superbyke, assembled for the heart transplant!

[raydog]

OK, this will be my last "seperate" thread on the Superbyke, from now on I'll try to keep the entire operation onto a single post.....ANYWAYS, prior to transporting to Scott's shop (Pulse Performance), since the "profile" is complete (without turbo motor) I thought I'd do one more round of pics. This represents a real plateau for me, so many parts in so many places for so long, finally coming together into one reality!

Do you use the mirror much / does it offer a good view?

You have an awesome project nearing the end

Good looking bike Sir

Both bar-end mirrors are surprisingly wonderful, great views. I had no idea that they would be so effective until I finally used them.

I got bar end mirrors on my busa too and they work 10x's better than the other 6 different sets of mirrors that I've tried. Better visibility and I think its a cleaner look than having those goofy looking mrrors sticking out of the front fairing

I'm really digging your bike looks amazing! I recognize your attention to detail. My only question is you went with the black powdercoat theme and blacked out your busa. Why not powder coat your rear brake reservoir black or get a black billet 1 to go with the rest of your paint scheme?

It's in the plan! Scott(Isiahstites) just took the turbo motor out of the other bike and there's a THOUSAND more pieces to powdercoat/annodize!

A few pics today before I took the bike:

Sure looking great Doyle

There aren't many naked bikes/streetfighter'd bikes that I like, they always seemed to be missing something to me, but you've nailed it with this one.

Side question, what brand mirrors are you using?

 

[MLSDUKE1]

That's a DAMN NICE bike!!!

Thank you for that! The mirrors are Oberon (from Germany). Doyle

 

[VaBusa]

Nice nice nice!! It's going to be sweet Doyle!!!!

Took me an 1 hour and 18 minutes to go from this

To this

 

[isiahstites]

Made several calls today and got lots of information to help us down the path we want to travel.

We are going to hot coat/ceramic coat the turbo, header and dump pipes, powder coat the turbo housing and many other parts.

Looking into powder coating the intercooler as well, really trying to make this thing look like it rolled off the show room floor as a production bike once it's done.

Your bike looks amazing. After I finish dropping mine a couple more times and completely ruining the fairings I would like to change my 09 to something like yours. Awesome,awesome job sir.

 

[GoldenChild]

Great looking ride for sure...

 

[isiahstites]

Got the engine all cleaned up and ready to install.

I use 2x4s to teeter the engine higher and higher

Then I use straps to lift it the rest of the way.

Engine is installed!

I see this work of art being entered in Suzuki's Ultimate Hayabusa contest...Awe inspiring project that has developed beautifully! I so want to retire and find cool projects to preoccupy. Nicely done sir.

 

[raydog]

Thanks for those last few shots Scott...that was a better way to start off my work day than my mug of coffee!
