G'day revhead,

Welcome to the AHC mate!!

Some will probably say it's totally crazy to do that to a '99 copper, but hey....beauty is in the eye of the beholder!! Pi_thumbsup

That mod you've done to the tank is quite interesting.....can you tell me (apart from a higher fuel capacity) what that's all about? Confused

What part of NSW are ya from? Undecided

Hope to catch up with ya soon for a ride.... Biker

keep it fun,
bazman

Bazman,with the tank i made it wider to cover the gap between the frame and the tank after taking off the plastics,its not made to hold anymore fuel ,its hollow ,the taiis an 2006 gsxr1000,i made the front half of the subframe to accept the stock rear half of the gsxr1000 k6 rear ,it can run with rear seat and pegs ,for mywife .im in macksville mid north coast ,

Tex is a friend of mine ,ive beaten him up Dorrigo mountain many a time.
Thanks Pan.

**revhead** · 04-09-2012, 05:22pm

its all good guys,the fellow i bought it from is a great bloke and a friend ,but the bloke he bought it off ,is a wanker, i saw the bike on you tube with the guy raving this that n that ,next when i contacted him about the bike ,he basically told me to f*#k off ,i was nice and friendly to him ,as well love the busa,s just when you buy one ,and everyone tells you its the cleanest theyve seen,and its been down on the right and the fairings have overspray all through the insides of them and the paint edges on the stripping is big enough to ab sale off ,id say it was a mutton wrapped up as lamb ,so this is why i fightered it,

bazman · 04-09-2012, 05:56pm

ha ha, it's all good revhead.....juz seems like lotsa ppl have a very heavy emotional/sentimental attachment to the '99 copper!!

Now, tell us something.....are ya gonna load it up and accompany Team J,T&B down to tathra this December for the Busa Bash!?!
