Doing a GSX-R1000 rear end conversion on the Busa...

A work in progress, but well on the way.


'09 Gold/Black Busa
Akropovic full system
X-TRE,
Power Comander 5, and Auto tune



Will be dropping the gearing down a little soon, and hopefully getting some Carbon Wheels.

BST...

and then some sticky rubber to help out at the track days....

I've got Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's on my Busa, and they're great on the track ! Even had to take the hero pegs off the old girl.

???...of the wheels youre getting! what else did you think i was talking about???

i wanted to get BST rims through GZA or ,Carbon Fairings with my tax last year...but the other half quickly put an end to that dream haha

Looks pretty cool.... Be good to see the finished product

[Axe]

Here's a few more....

Taking my time, and probably being a little to pedantic but I really want to achieve a stock look and finish quality.

Looking good mate! Love the busa with the gsxr1k tail..
I'm bias tho! Just don't paint her green :)

[Axe]

ATM Pretty sure I'll keep the Gold/Blk thing going...

Dont see too many gold busa's around, and it's 10 years from the original, and a kinda close hint back to the original coper bike.

But well see... She might get a full paint at some point!

PC5, auto tune and X-TRE on now, dropping the gearing this week when I get time, so should be a wheeling monster...

should be fun!!

nice work Axe , it would be interesting to see the weight difference is between the oem tail and the new gixxer tail , any idea ?

[Axe]

Yea...
I was thinking about weighing the new sub frame and stuff but got carried away ...

I know there's def a big difference.
the hole new rear end actually weighs close to the busa rear body work..., just the plastics and light....
The busa sub frame, is so heavy.

[grumpy]

its startin to look real good axe can,t wait to see finished photos.
