Its 1st life.
Its 2nd life.
Its 3rd life?
Bought some Yoshi Tri-Oval can's off Big Kev at VCM, top bloke.
Bought a GSXR K6 rear end and adapter plates off Rev Head Pete, another top bloke.
that look like this (on the Busa they came off)
A sudden burst of interest and enthusiasm this morning and I had a tidy up and a move around.
Gave the Busa a check over, and started digging out some of my Busa spares stash.
.... and when Pete heard that I was going to run twin pipes and no pillion,
being the top bloke that he is, went down the workshop and fab'd up a
matching exhaust hanger mirror image for the other side (he only used one
as he had a 4-into1)

All good Mate.
Might use the rear guard, doesnt look as good but one less worry
with it there.
Yeah, I might need to re-do the seat mount. Looks easy.
Exhaust matched up but FARK! it was a stretch to pull the pipes up
to get the bolt in. Im running factory front mipes with there extra mounts
and they dont want to lift up a little higher like your 4 into one.
Done now.
Havent mounted the reg/rectifier yet, not sure where you had it ?
and rear brake res is swinging free as I moved it to get the subframe
on and might need a new bracket ?
Very happy with the look, they're minor things and its HEAPS easier
than if id tried to make it !! Thanks Pete.

the reg rectifier ,went were the 2 philips heads are in between the front rear seats ,the rear of the front seat locks in those too square brackets,and there is a little cut out in the bottom of the battery box ,it actually just pokes up in there next to the battery
That looks f**king tight Tony, you thought of turning the cans into stubbies?

I'll give it some thought Pete.
I understand what your saying but your full system flowed a lot
better than the stock restrictive front pipes I have and my can's
are bafled a little, so im not sure i'd drop the back preasure like yours.
Interesting though, im not rushing into it.

I like your DIY exhaust hangers Pete.
Thin bar show's off the gap between the tyre and the tail
and the rear guard / plate hanger isnt THAT big.
