AWESOME MAN!!!! Congrats that is a nice jacket and I am jealous of that cover. I want a hayabusa themed one lolGot a new cover last weekend. Elastic on bottom. Nothing too expensive.
My Ol’ lady surprised me with a new jacket too.

YEA, Right?? Toad had this whole low key approach and then WHAM, polished swing arm. Love it though!How much weight did you save?
And...it's too shiny

Hahahahaha , I tell you lads it has got a few people stumped !! I went crazy I know , but I just love it , it is cleared over , is 1 of 10 made so far ( mine is #10 ) , weight saving is minimal at just over 1kg , the stiffness is increased and the fit and finish is beautiful , the wheelbase is stock at my current chain length . The pics really are not doing it justice , in the flesh it is better , because you can see my silver billet pieces located around the bike , such as the top triple , the rear brake mount etc. . I am wanting an overcast day , or I have to get up early for better shots , so you may have a better look !!How much weight did you save?

Now , today I am due to receive something that is also going to change things up a bit more , so we will see how that looks added together .
I have gone for some crazy update on the looks to some degree , and there are other bits coming that could go on this bike as planned for extra handling adaptability , the swingarm is part of this , and when I get these other parts I will post them , but todays arrival I will also post up early as I did with swingarm .
You know toad likes understated , but also likes one off rare shiny things !!

Side note: love the rear sprocket look, sets it off right.Hahahahaha , I tell you lads it has got a few people stumped !!

This one will always be my hills bike , man I was up in the hills for one last ride before I pulled it apart for swingarm , and it handled so nice that day and was so quick , ( even saw a cop bike ...wave ) , that I was nearly going to put it off for awhile . This is probable the nicest detailed and perhaps the flashy looking one now Six .My 94 ZX7 Ninja was all poslish, chrome, and black. I still love that look, but it stands out. Much easier to disapear on a plain old dark bike.
Since you have 2 Busas(minus an engine/frame for one), any chance there's gonna be a black one and a flashy farkled one?
Thanks Arch , I sometimes wonder if this is a sign of mid life crises !!
Hi. I will get the build specs. for a wild street motor if you want.This one will always be my hills bike , man I was up in the hills for one last ride before I pulled it apart for swingarm , and it handled so nice that day and was so quick , ( even saw a cop bike ...wave ) , that I was nearly going to put it off for awhile . This is probable the nicest detailed and perhaps the flashy looking one now Six .
The next build will be somewhat extended , and feature a built engine eventually , it will be street ridden , and will be setup to be a low stance , Busa , and stealthy color . It will be my bike instead of a cruiser , I want it to launch and run quick , it will be a hoon machine , but made as easy to ride as possible for my aging ass !!
I hear ya, getting an unusual amount of rain here in North East FL too.Installed my terry custom seat on the busa and the concours. If it would stop raining in FL, I could test them.
