RE: Modding the New Pashnit Hayabusa - pashnit - 27-02-2012 ============================================= Changing out the Stator Cover to Woodcraft Go Here to look up Part Numbers for your bike & buy now: http://www.pashnit.com/product/woodcraft/woodcraft_buynow.html Here's my stock black cover on the new Busa, you can see I've already got some dings in mine. Black Sharpie marker works wonders for those. Remove all the bolts, and a little trick I used is punch the bolts into a piece of cardboard in a circle the order they came out. You'll want to put them in the same holes as lengths vary. One trick is to gently tap the cover with a rubber mallet to break the seal of the gasket. Once you've got it loose. Pull it straight off. The coil inside functions as a giant magnet so it'll feel like two magnets in science class. A small amount of oil will come out, about a tablespoon worth, so have something ready to catch the oil. Remove the old gasket and thoroughly clean & scrape both surfaces. Needs to be perfect to get a good seal when you put it back together. There are two roll pins you'll need to remove and insert into the new cover. Use a Needle-nose pliers and gently ease them out. Three screws on the coil, and two up top. Take all 5 out. Punch into your cardboard in the pattern they came out. Where the wires enter the stator cover (top in the pic), there's a rubber grommet to gently pull out. Install the reverse of removal. Loc-tite 3 screws for the coil, then two up top, and slide in the wire grommet back into the channel & press it tight. Don't forget the two roll pins. Woodcraft Covers include a gasket for a full kit. You can get gaskets from an OEM supplier like your local dealer or BikeBandit.com When you put on the cover, it's highly magnetic. So put your fingers on the outside of the cover. When it's about a 1/4 inch away, it'll get sucked on. Line it up with the two roll pins. Loc-tite all your bolts, install the same bolts in the same holes, and button it back up. Some will also use a very thin layer of gasket sealer too. If yours leaks or seeps oil, you'll need to do this step all over again. ============================================== So why swap out the Stator Cover for a billet one?? Well looks of course is one thing, but really it's Insurance for your motor. Pre-planning will save you a lot heartache if the ride goes bad. While you could be lucky...and not puncture it. Most of us are not that lucky. On the flip side...Here is your bad day with a Woodcraft Cover. Bruised ego, but able to still ride home. How exposed? First thing that hits the ground on the Busa is the Stator. And yes, they come in Black too. Can go here to look up part numbers and source one for your bike. http://www.pashnit.com/product/woodcraft/woodcraft_buynow.html RE: Modding the New Pashnit Hayabusa - 06BUSA - 27-02-2012 I bought the woodcraft off u Tim, works and looks a treat! Great insurance after I damaged the original! Also broke the clutch lever, had to ride 300kms without a clutch! Might get ur short levers as well. Chris RE: Modding the New Pashnit Hayabusa - Tyronm - 04-03-2012 Still like mine Tim... RE: Modding the New Pashnit Hayabusa - pashnit - 24-06-2012 ...continuing our saga: Power supply from the FuzeBlock To power & protect all these electrical gizmos, we'll install a FuzeBlock --> Pashnit Moto | FuzeBlock Buy Now The awesome thing about the FuzeBlock is two power wires feed in. One is direct from the battery, the 2nd hot wire is tapped to the ignition (keyed). You can power anything based on which type you need - ignition sourced, or always on. Plus vary the size of the fuses used. Have to figure out where it goes best. In the end, left side of the trunk works best, to secure it, we'll just use velcro which is simple, inexpensive & provides vibration dampening. We also sell a wire loom for the FuzeBlock that allows you to keep your wires all tidy. Nearly all finished. Just tidy up our new wire loom which provides power to our new [URL="http://www.pashnit.com/product/pmr/bar_switches.html#top"]PMR Components Triple BAR SWITCH [/URL](we'll get to that in just a bit). We'll use the PMR Bar Switch to power all new lighting: Intake Lights, LED Hyper Light Ring on the headlight, rear CustomCowl.com LED hump, plus our heated grips. Everything is double fused and isolated from our bike's electrical system. A lot of info on HOW TO wire your bike on this link too, plus explaining a lot of electrical terms and limits to your motorcycle's electrical system.

Didn't want to mess up my original, and since we sell replacement humps, this ought to be a good fit to mod one of our off-the-shelf products & make it a one-off item. Here's the spare hump I got: --> Suzuki Hayabusa Rear Hump | CANDY INDY BLUE | SUZUKI: GSX 1300R HAYABUSA | 2008-2012 | # SOLOS306CIB Side by side, the color I thought was near perfect, so shipped it off to CustomCowls.com & emailed a high-res graphic of the pashnit logo with the pointy A. Here's what we're starting with... Pics of it being mocked up with the Pashnit Tours logo LED's installed on the inside that light up. This is halfway done. I opted to have the hump repainted once the cutting was done, my choice, so off it went from CustomCowls on down to FL to Race Ready Paint ( http://www.RaceReady.us ) which specializes in painting Busa's. They've also done my inner dash panels, mirrors, and even the brake carriers on my '00 back in the day. They repainted it with the '08 blue & sent it back to CustomCowls.com who then installed the LED's on the inside. All finished and ready to send back to me. Pleased as punch! Very unique mod, nobody has anything like this. Since the bike is only used for travel & leading tours, it's perfect! In the meantime, I had wired up a special switch for this too with one of the 3-button PMR Components Bar Switch so I can turn it on or off. ---> Bar Switches for Motorcycles - PMR Components | Pashnit Moto Admittedly, this was a lot of work to create the wire loom for all the new lighting mods, but fun stuff! A lot of shrink wrap & solder. Now we can turn the hump on or off at the flip of a switch. The PMR Bar Switch: Note there's one on the right side too for our Symtec Heated Grips. If you drag race, that's where you'll install your PMR Kill Switch (we have those in stock too!) ---> Bar Switches for Motorcycles - PMR Components | Pashnit Moto ---> Kill Switches for Motorcycles - PMR Components | Pashnit Moto Wiring in the hump - since it came with harness, so all you need to do is provide 12V power. There is a plug to the wire, so if you want to take the hump completely off, just unplug it. A super easy power source is your 12V power supply for the rear license plate light. The Butane torch is what makes using the shrink wrap so easy. We'll also need to mod this hump for the RAM mounts attached to the grab rail bolts, which will be additional Camera Mounts. All finished ...& back the road with another tour group. Looks super-cool!! Light glow during the day (& rain) RE: Modding the New Pashnit Hayabusa - big kev - 24-06-2012 thats very tasty looking big fella well done but the front of your bike where you steer ilooking like the bridge from the enterprise mate LOL RE: Modding the New Pashnit Hayabusa - pashnit - 04-07-2012 Color coordinated Dash Panels from RaceReady.us I had this done years ago on the '00, it was by far one my favorites. On the Gen-I, it just seems to make the bike flow so much better. So.... New busa, gotta do this all over again. The blah before pic: ...and getting them back from RaceReady.us Also note I sent off a set of GSXR1000 mirrors to also be painted to match. Fitting them on the new Busa. The Gen-II is much more work than the Gen-I. It's a giant puzzle and the pieces all have to go on in sequence. What a pain. Lookin' good and a dramatic difference from the stock black! ================ Adding a Bagster Tank Cover Pics above... probably notice the full tank cover & matched tankbag. This is Bagster, and although we're not a dealer for this French-made product, it's also been a personal favorite. I've had them on three of my bikes, the two busa's and my ST1100. Tank Bags are interchangeable to any of the covers, and flips up for easy access to gas fill-ups. Here on the left coast, we refer riders to RideAddict.com which is the dealer for these based from LA. Also note, some say it can take up to 2 months to get one if they have to order your color in from France. Brand new out of the box: Test fitting on the tank... kinda stiff at first, but it just needs a day in the sun to conform around the tank. The Bagster Tank Cover has straps on 4 sides so you slowly cinch them down to get the cover in the right position. RE: Modding the New Pashnit Hayabusa - pashnit - 20-07-2012 Never been a fan of the black frame, so we're going to try something new. RE: Modding the New Pashnit Hayabusa - pashnit - 11-08-2012 I've begun work on a huge new static webpage that will convert all these forum posts into a static webpage, I think if you printed it, would be 30-40 pages of mods. We've shot some 700 photos so far of the transformation of our 75+ different mods we originally listed out & plan on making to the bike. Once the Pashnit Touring Season ends in October, will be able to tear down the bike again and keep moving through the list way back on Post #1. The new MODS webpage is a big project, should be finished soon. Here's a sneak peak of all the photos that'll be used to build the new page. It'll detail prices, where to buy, and a paragraph or two description about each mod.

Been staring at that black for the last 15,000 miles. Black has to go. Last weekend leading another motorcycle tour... Been waiting patiently for months... New panels finally arrive from my painter RaceReady.us in Florida, special thanks to them for handling the paint work. Perfect match! Love the new lowers!! Completes the unique Blue on Blue look! Plus added some other new subtle mods: custom painted GSXR1000 front fender, back to the all-new Zero Gravity Latigo seat, Ventura Sport Rack (yes, painted blue to match) for the upcoming 1000MileDay.com ride. And Chrome fairing screens, love 'em already!

This is PIAA's new twin horn kit. Finally time to get rid of the beep beep horn on the Hayabusa for something more fitting. Not a lot of room inside the nose, but here's where I ended up on the left side. A simple bolt through the air intake is all that's needed. Leave the old horn in place. (it's tough to take off & get back on) Use some wire connectors and just plug them into the original stock plug after figuring out which is + & -. Then create a short wire harness for both horns and solder and shrink wrap it all up. Test fitting with the dash panel, just enough room Left side was a bit more challenging. Finally settled on here. Overall, works great, plenty loud RE: Modding the New Pashnit Hayabusa - Batfink - 21-02-2013 nice mod pashnit... something I will be looking at too before next summer rides. Why do they put a scooter horn system on a muscle bike?? |
