What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

[jeffgordons24]

Well now don't get crazy I don't even want to ride in my car some days. It may work for him but not everyone. For some it is bragging rites; even so i pack it in eary i won"t risk my bike. PA/NJ area no thanks thinking about fixing 4wd truck if I ever stop being obsessed with the bike & spending $ i shouldn't be.

Don’t get me wrong I would love to extend the season a tad, and yea pa/nj are Cadillac roads compared to Long Island lol. My vehicle is a 3500 4wd pickup and even that is always broken from the poop roads ahha. I really would like more windshield time with the bike though. It is a shame because before my bike was wrecked I was so over protective of it. I never wanted to take it places because I hated parking, I never wanted it to see rain etc etc. I guess at this point I have learned 2 valuable lessons.
1) Never let anyone ride your bike unless they are blood related or you have ridden with time for at least 3 years lolssss,
2)No matter what happens to the bike, it can be rebuilt, repaired and brought back.
Maybe now I can be less over protective and spend more time enjoying it.

For today, prepped my new nose cowl, blacked out inner grills on it (fast rattlecan job....didn’t feel like gearing up the powder coater)
Installed one of my homemade halos in. Installed the smoked signal lenses

What rear set/rear brake any other pics?

Went with VooDoo rear set wanted something little different & in budget.

What is the benefit to this? I see a lot of talk about it on the forum.

Check thread crank case breather. Basically not putting gases from crank case into the air box. Uncontaminated cleaner air into intake makes 4 happier motor.

Those are very nice!! I like how you cut the fairing for the clutch cover too. What cf frame covers are those. I looked high and low and couldn’t find nice full size cf frame covers other then chromed out covers which is s pattern and not real cf.

Sorry to interrupt guys..Just wanted to say that my buddy has the heated vest, gloves and pants and he rides his bikes all year round here in Ct. He swears by that heated gear. He mounted special outlets near the top tree and everything plugs right in AND is Waterproof. Nice Setup..

I sat on a gen 2 at work this morning!

Received my SW-Motech racks from a seller in Germany for a good price and found a set of givi’s At a dealer in Ohio that had them sitting in a box, because customer placed the order and never picked them up. Funny thing is, they actually match the silver on the fairings. Now waiting on the givi adapter plate to try the v56 top case currently on the concours and see if it doesn’t look huge on the busa. These things are nice and come off in less than a minute, but the key can’t be used to remove the seat/hump when racks are installed.

Nice frame cover sir!

Thanks for noticing, like the carbon fiber just need deeper pockets to get more of it.

I haven’t seen very many full covers like that. Most of them end at the welded seem on the frame.

Nice investment looks like a mortgage payment. Hope the deal was good.

Rear lift came today.

Eagle lights also came. 2" truck stop mod done. Guess have to put ecu & battery back in to see difference.

Old 34 led vs new 48 led tail lights

This stuff is not cheap, but I saved a couple of hundred bucks and is well worth it. I always underestimated waterproof saddlebags, until I got the concours14 and got spoiled. Lol
