Poor busa :(

nearly done!

Please hold camera steady - and learn to focus!. . . . awaiting final photos!!!!

at the moment the jury is out.

Cathy hates it. She sayes a busa should look like a busa!

I say . . . wait!!!! . . . you'll see . . . prove me right!

(it's late-we should drink less red wine!)

That is a pretty bad picture. I couldnt tell too much on my phone.

i know what you mean Ward P. I expect to get a few of the old faithfuls offside but personally I wanted a GSXR1000 but i was too tall/big to be comfortable on it. So i decided this would be the next best thing! In saying that im stoked i bought a busa. so much better for me than my mates litre bikes. even have a guy on a cbr1000rr wanting to buy one.

Only time will tell how itll look when finished. fingers crossed.

Keep going Andrew, I think that your bike is going to look absolutely tops !
I can tell that you are spending the National dept on it, and really you are the only one that needs to be satisfied with it (thats why we customise bikes isn't it ?) Mate if I see it at a show, you will definately get my vote !

Now if I could just get the wife to agree that I need to re-do my bike, yours would be an inspiration.

Cheers mate on a great job,
Natcam

Thanks mate.

I can't wait to see it. Looks like alot of work ahead when u see ur bike all but a swingarm, frame and engine.

Btw I'm not planning on entering any shows tho. IDE need to double the $$ for that! maybe one day

[[UNIT]]

the panels went to the painter today,.

not looking forward to putting it all together when painted!

Who's painting the fairing for you Andrew?
