What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

Man, love the way it came out and damn, that head light is bright.
Just takes a little bit of rednecking lolol (and a lot of JB Weld)

I have been doing the same thing. Replacing the nose piece is one I have been slow at doing. Any tips you have/get would be appreciated.

Work slow, take a lot of pictures as you remove things. The nose comes off easier than it seems. Somewhere I have a thread of how to remove the nose assembly. From there get a blanket on your kitchen table and start unbolting stuff till you’re left with the headlight and then trim piece attached to it.
 
New wheel day.


Beyond happy I went with gold. Front tire is being mounted tomorrow. Rear wheel is already at FedEx being sent out for aerodisc measurements. I’ll weight everything as it comes off and we can have a “stock wheel setup vs as light as you can get a wheel setup” comparison.

With a buddy of mine, we finally installed the Schnitz raising links on the busa. The gain is 3.5cm, a little bit more than one inch. I really can feel the difference once I'm on the bike, the seat is higher for sure. I'll really try tomorrow to go to work. Already happy with the small difference of silhouette.

Does that do much to open up the seat to peg ratio? That's the last thing I'm trying to figure out hoe to do to fit the bike to me better.

That adjusts the rear ride height.
It does nothing for the distance between the seat and pegs.

Guessing lowering pegs, vice raising links, are what you are looking for to give you more leg room.
 
Out with the old!


a few people have messaged me in the past saying they would buy the arata when I took it off, and I have lost who that was. (Went iPhone to android back to iPhone and lost my notes) I’m going to ask $1,500 shipped for it. Shoot me a PM in the next few days before I offer it for sale on FB if you still want it.
