Thinking of turning my 99 Busa into a track bike...
#49
Pan,
There was a guy over here (WA) doing track glass and he had a mold for the Busa (believe it or not!).
So that would be an easy step, and maybe he could flop out a carbon one!
Set of lightweight (carbon) wheels and when you swap the race glass over, the headlight goes with the road glass as does the tail lights. Blinkers take only a few minutes to rip off. Maybe pillion pegs, and slip on a crappy muffler (if you run a 4 into 1) so if it gets tied and needs to lay down, it's cheap to replace!
I can give you a molded one piece seat unit (you may recall I did photos way back when) which you can cut and shut to get the track set up to suit, and glue on some padding. That seat just clips into stock fittings.
After that, I'd be looking for a glass tank shell with a small bladder or something for go go juice. Steel tanks are heavy. I think it would only take a few hours at most (including swapping the wheels) and away you go! All you need then is an Austin 1800 ute to trailer the Busa to the track!
