What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

[Jbaby1969]

First part of my tail swap showed up today! Cost me a whopping $12 on EBay. I’ll start a “budget tail swap” thread when it all gets here.

Not really what I did but what I will do when it's time to change the tires (spring time). A new addition to the Busa arrived...I believe a stock sprocket is around 2lbs...thanks to Bryan ( @c10 ) I am upgrading the sprockets...I am still awaiting the front one.

Just ordered a set of titanium sprocket nuts in iodized gold....I figure if I'm going light on the sprocket might as go titanium nuts.

I think I need to go get immunized against the titanium plague now...…

Sorry to say Yellow it is already much to late!!!!! These are the same tactics drug dealers have used since the 50's. A little free taste to get you hooked then that's that.

Looking forward to seeing them. The ones I ordered didn't have a locking ring on them. At this stage they're sitting in the parts drawer until I decide on locking washers or locktite

Otta , the ti nuts with no tag or nyloc , torqued to spec with thread paste for ti , or at the most , the milder blue locktite I would think .
Pro bolt do a couple of nice M10 tabbed in ti , even a nyloc I believe with paste supplied .

 

[c10]

My Ti sprocket nuts have zero loctite or lock tab . Torque to spec 20,xxx miles

The ones I ordered are from Pro Bolt and have nyloc..

Should do nicely and will match my chain.

I knew it was all your fault....the good thing is I have will power and discipline.....however, it is addictive.

Me too bro except + thread protector , because I run both ti bolts and nuts for cush drive BST . Some people can have reservations , until they get used to ti fasteners .

Hi. WHY WHY WHY use heavy Ti sprocket nuts? You can get aluminium drilled for safty wire if needed they are lighter than Ti! Steel, Ti, aluminium, plastic. Yes I use plastic bolts and nuts where I can save weight.
