Well I have a little break and a few free minutes so I guess I should get everyone up to date. It's been a while hope everyones doing fine there I realize I'm writing this yesterday so you won't get to read it till tomorrow(Yep I guess I'm STILL a day behind!
)
Last year I was offered a Sponsorship by Guy Kaputo of Tiger Racing.

At the time our plate was pretty full, not only did we not have room for new Sponsors or products SRAD didn't really have the development time needed to change the HeavyBus.
Well a quick call to Guy a few weeks ago resulted in a renewed offer of support and some great products!
Among them guys new custom designed aero front fender for Hayabusas!

No it's NOT a prop from an Alien VS Predator Movie!
This fender was the result of quite a bit of research and should hopefully result in improved aerodynamics by pushing the air over and around the bike better!
Guy also sent us one of his super trick collapsible billet aluminum laptop tables! This thing is perfect for PC tuning on the go or at the track, strong sturdy and neatly collapsible.

Did I mention STURDY? I guess Rinkley is putting it to the ultimate test because he's just 4lbs short of 50lbs!:eek2:

Remember early on in the project we slammed the HeavyBus well in order to have a semi functioning kickstand we had to chop the end off of the stocker. This leaves a nice shrp small point guarenteed to punch right through asphalt when your not looking. Well Guy to the rescue again! with a handy kickstand pad!

Rounding out the package a LSR tech spec chain guard

Yeppers I already know what your going to say.
"Don't you already have a metal chainguard?" Yeppers!
"Isn't that a little tooo long?" Nope!
SRAD has been hitting EBay and all of the Busa Boards pretty heavy and has come up with a few bargains among them,

Yeppers time to go LONG! I think with a 4" to 6" stretch I should be able to launch much harder and make full throttle shifts in the lower gears. The HeavyBus tries to lift the front in 1st and 2nd no matter what I do so I have to peddle it in the lower gears to keep it down so this should let me launch harder and shift 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd full throttle rather than rolling out and easing back in.
