What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

[Bumblebee]

Well if I can’t make noise for a minute driving in and out, or rev my engine for 2 seconds every once in a while because it makes me happy, I probably don’t want to hang out with those people anyways… I’m sure you were similar to me when you were 24… a lot of people shoot around here (even at 2am!) so that should tell you what the deal is… very grateful for that. Moved outta the city because it was cheap, nice, and more space for the family

You are 24?

I was 24 once......I think.....I can't remember being 24........

Too many parties or too much time?

 

[Solyom]

360 miles ride & sunshine. 9 hours, 6 stops (3 to top up the tank, +3 to hydrate me, I was thirstier than the beast. ) Almost everything was perfect... Gas could be cheaper.

Too many parties or too much time?

Too much time I'm afraid.....

I lived a whole life by 24....., I had 7 yrs in the military and a tour overseas by then I remember that much....

Love the brake and clutch reservoirs.. Are they the ones that join straight onto the m/c?

Yes sir. I always hated the cheap, plastic reservoirs that sit so high up.

Thank you Fernando for the low mileage Road fives. These have been Powder Coated and I have the code if anyone cares to do the same. I kept all the information. Any powder coat shop could do it.

When I got my bike, I was tempted to do that after the stock tires got worn. I love that mirror base color. Looks so good...your wheels I mean!

Almost forgot to add my other very labor intensive mod… the keychain.

I'm so stupid. I was just about to ask you if you made that keychain! Didn't detect the sarcasm.

Here you go guys, common color in any powder coating shop they can look it up and source it. It matches with the gloss or without to the stem color or the factory clutch and magneto cover tone. I'm doing one more piece in this color and that's the Yoshimura radiator guard. Then I'm going to turn the trailer in for a re-do because this company is better than the last one, and I will do the brake lever and the shifter at the same time in semi gloss black. Once the trailer is done, I am going for a ride. I am without work right now, so I think a quick trip to the beach is in order.

I am in need of some warm temperatures, clean roads, nice views,
and some cool tunes or just peace and quiet. I've been doing the same job for 33 years a little time at the controls. Some Hayabusa therapy is an order.

Or send your stuff to Vegas and I'll get it done for you at no additional cost.

Preparing for a long journey in May

PS. Side racks and central SW-Motech from 2nd generation - to fit the central rack mount under the seat.
Side racks mounted on attached mounts. Passenger footrests available (in dedicated for gen III the passenger cannot travel :| )

 

[BigBSBusa]

Rode it.

 

[smithabusa]

Let her air out a little bit while doing some initial testing since adding the turbo, super low boost, this was the first time pulling to closer to redline. Scoots pretty good even at 3.xx psi LOL. Air fuel looking pretty decent considering I haven't touched the map yet from the stock engine with m4 pipe I put a couple thousand miles on last year.

 

[smithabusa]

Got the boost compensated lockup installed as well

Sharp.

 

[Spudley]

Mr. Windsor. You're looking sharp. The suit looks good too.

I bought my 2023 Hayabusa back in February but up until today I wasn't able to really ride it because I hadn't gotten around to getting the bike registered in my state. I finally coughed up the 1200 dollars required to pay sales tax, registration and title fees and took my Busa out for her first real ride. I only rode a little over 100 miles but enjoyed the ride, love the cruise control, love the torque, the bike was a bit more comfortable than I thought it would be but my neck got a little sore so I definitely need to go with bar risers and while my knees were OK I'd like to lower the pegs. The bike does a good job keeping your torso upright relieving the pressure in your hands/wrists which is good but I'd like to get a taller windscreen and reduce the amount of wind blast in my face. Overall I'm very happy with my first ride and I'm looking forward to getting a few more miles in the saddle as the weather warms up a bit.

 

[SPECIALFORCESOFGOD]

Gave her a washy with Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam. Hopefully tomorrow doesn't rain and I can ride her and finally touch the 3,000 miles. I've been trying for the last six months.

It has been an adventure getting this last bit of carbon installed on the front. It's done now, just got to install the windscreen and side fairings, one last small bit of vinyl on the tank cover, then a quick oil change and she is ready to hit the open road!!
