I'd chop up a 1999 "Brown" Busa any day
if I thought I could make it as nasty as this....

I don't think they made a brown busa in 99. They did make a Copper/Champagne one tho

In the interests of race relations everywhere, the moderators have decided to remove all irrelevant posts and get back to what this thread is all about. Welcoming our new member.

Warnings have been dished out, posts removed and hopefully a littlke decorum re-inserted. The AHC has a set of rules that may need to be re-read from time to time ladies and gentlemen.

Enough said I hope.

went for my 1st ride to my home today and around the block,with the flat drag bars on and the custom toptriple it handles so well

still plenty to do

just trying hand guards with inbuilt led blinkers

gps for a speedo,works really good

1st full ride today ,a few little rattles i could hear,but all in all a fun thing ,with no full fairings its like being bolted to a scud missile,with handle bars,yeah.

So what's the plan for the bottom half ? paint the engine black and try and hide the coolant resevoir. ?? Top half looks great, bottom half god damb ugly

custom belly pan,from the states ,custom coolant bottle,hide some more stuff,make some more stuff ,maybe paint it another colour
paint the rims,take off my home made subframe and smooth it out,the list is endless ,buy some radial master cylinders,you know more modern stuff,also how do they handle with a 200 rear tyre

[Greeny_SA]

Some Red coolant would look good ,until its finished .

also how do they handle with a 200 rear tyre

Had a 200 on my 1st Gen1, had a couple on my B-King
(stock is 200/50) wouldnt bother again. I find for me
they are better with a 190/55, I prefer the 55 to the 50.
Both bikes have lazy geometry and the extra hight does them good.

Personal choice though, whatever suits YOU is best.

i get a mix of answers on this one ,people say yeah 200, but most say the same thing as yourself Tony, cheers,ilstay with the 190 i thinks

[ROD]

Hi Pete you might want to start a new threadv down in the Member Photos section so this info on your build dosent get lost

[revhead]

thank Rod ,il give it a wirl,cheers

In theory, a 190/55 is taller than a 200/50 and thats
taller than a 190/50, lifting the rear helps them turn in
but theres a lot more to it, like contact patch at lean
angles and various tyres different profiles. Some 190's
or 200's seem to be "bigger" than others too.
