I think it's the flux capacitor that Mr Hands has installed! Scary

**simmo** · 19-10-2009, 06:33pm

Not the flux capacitor again, but it was only half charged Scary

Talk about back to the furture, now I know what the new 2012 Busa may be like stock

LOL she is a screamer Simmo. Blew the back tyre off the dyno when I took it in.

Some pics of the build sorry bout the quality its a phone camera.

Dropped the bike off to Mr Hands and 2 hours later the motor was out and engine stripped.

Interesting difference gen1 (bored) to gen 2 (stock) block

Pistons stock to 1441

The replacement head supplier asked me not to show anyone photos of his head so I aint gunna, if you want the specs call for an American Carpenter. Pi_tongue

Interesting that my Gen 2 motor has only 20k on it and most of those were done on the trip around Australia. The easiest miles any motor could do. Oil changes every 2-3000k's with quality oil and it has galled wrist pins. Maybe the smaller pins on the gen 2 wont last as well as the gen 1.

We shall see.

Did you weigh the JE pistons compared to the stock gen2 pistons?

**fasterfaster** · 21-10-2009, 08:24pm

That was done .................. but before ceramic coating was done !

21-10-2009, 09:17pm

And what were the weights of the JE,s compared to the stock pistons?
