Since I did get the bike and have started doing a few things to it I decided to make a new thread so I can record its progress over time. I will post a before shot but those who read the other thread know it was in less than pristine condition. I have a very good friend that owns the local motorcycle shop and they were a Suzuki dealer for years so he knows a few of the more in depth things about the Busa. Lucky for me (not so much for my check book) he had a a empty lift in the shop and my bike had the chance to hang out on for the past couple of days. I was just going to do a quick tune up, put some used tires on, and change the oil but that started the whole "Well since its apart lets do this one thing, then another, then another." After new plugs, TPS adjustment, replacing a old fuel line, new brakes all around, new tires (pilot power of course 
), oil change, plugging the pair valve, raising it back up to stock height, and a few bolts here and there she is once again road worthy and riding like she's on rails. There is still a low end stumble but I have the parts to tear down the fuel pump on the way so I can replace it with the eBay version that has gotten great reviews and I am going to do the external fuel filter mod. Thanks to a few of the great members, GoldenChild, THROTTLEJUNKIE13, and BlueHaya, I have a good start on some of the replacement parts I need to start to get her back to top form. On top of everything, the bank where I rescued the bike from called a little bit ago and informed me that they did in fact find the rear seat for the bike and that just made my day. A few of you guys on here were worried about the mechanical condition of the bike due to its poor state, as was I, but I am happy to report that after the new tires she had a few good hard runs on her and everything feels as it should. I have yet to decide on the exact direction I am going with this bike but I have a few ideas floating around and cant wait to see what the final result will be on down the line.
Before: Still at the bank

All in all I am happy with the bike and I am having a blast working on it restoring it to its former glory.
