What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

[fallenarch]

Ordered a Bridgestone RS11 , and got it fitted up today . This replaces the RS10 series gumballs , so looking forward to giving it a bit of a test ride .View attachment 1637678

Is that the Busa or ZX?

Is that the Busa or ZX?

That is the Busa wheel , with the red button rotors , the Zed14 has blue buttons . I run Bridgestone RS10 tires on both bikes , the Busa will be the first to try out the RS11 successor . I still have a RS10 on the rear to finish off .

No today but last week, got another stablemate...

Well a couple of days working on the Busa foot controls . Have had escalating knee trouble the past few years , so I set about making the Busa more comfortable for myself .
The rearset is now positioned lower and forward of last setup . I also now got reverse shift pattern which is very nice with my quick shifter .

There's a guy i used to ride with that spends more time cleaning his bike then riding and I know you put your busa thru the paces and yet I think it's still cleaner then his bike. Looks awesome as always toad

Installed mirror block offs for a photoshoot. Makes the busa look a lot nicer. But I also felt weird riding with no mirrors. Spent $20 on the eBay block offs.

Perhaps it is a reflection and an optical illusion, but it appears as though there is a manually cut jagged hole in the screen just above the nose fairing/headlight. No offense intended.

No offense taken. Are you talking about the the black area at the bottom of the screen where it meets the nose fairing? That’s the shadow of the dash panel and part of the quad lock mount.

Ah, now that you explain it the illusion disappeared and that looks obvious now lol. Thanks.

Finally put in enough miles for my 2nd oil change(3,545). Absolutely no metal on the drain plug magnet. Rode it like I ride from 0 miles on with no problems. Think I'll stick with the Alisyn 10/30 and Petron Plus.

Washed and aired up the tires!

I note this is your first post....welcome and great introduction..

Bike looks great.

 

[Mattbastard]

Cleaned up the front of the engine by removing all the PAIR crap and fabbed up some plates to cover the holes:

And dished the seat a bit:

I need to get new vinyl, that stuff is thin and doesn't take well to stretching.

After 22 years of resistance,finally gave in to more better (or at least louder) exhaust.
The header and mid pipe are at Jet Hot getting a high temp coating.

P.S. 9.4 lbs

Got this little back cowl pad to try out on the Busa , made by Pyramid Plastics UK . I don't know till I ride the bike in a couple of days , if I really like it , but sitting on the bike feels good .

More like what did your wife do to your busa, today? She backed the car into the bike and knocked it over.

Well my wife ordered new OEM fairings so I replaced those today. Only downside is I got the wrong decal so will need to return the upper fairing.

left side is original and right was the new one.

Adjustable kickstand installed! Chopped factory stand was contacting the footpeg after a small lowside. Bike took a dive in the driveway, so I finally replaced it. Stupid me rushed and didn't put it in gear and roll it forward. Gotta fix some rashed fairings now.

Start of the long weekend around here so all the idiots and police are out in full force...figured it was time to strip the 'ol gal and give it a good cleaning...out comes the toothbrushes, vacuum and air lines....

It's amazing how many bugs get smashed under the nose cone and into the rad/oil cooler

I have HID headlights and as I have never ridden this bike at night, I am considering removing the HID system and going back to stock and just get a good bulb like a Silverstar Ultra or something like that.
