Tony Nitrous: Hayabusa revisited.

[Tony Nitrous]

Indicators, brake, tail and numberplate lights wired up,
New mounts made for the GSXR seat to bolt to the Busa frame.
Key'd seat lock swapped over to the GSXR tail,
slowly crossing off the little jobs......

Looks good Tony....what will the final colour be? I'm thinking a spanky set of silicone hoses would set it off nice.

[Tony Nitrous]

Still playing with idea's.
My 4 other finished bikes are all black!
might just rattle can the tail blue to match for a while
and concentrate on the brakes, suspension and finding
a few more horses.

Hoses, rad header tank, paint job, shorter pipes
and several other things are on my to-do list.

Looks awesome. I've always loved this bike!
I'd raise the back a little to make it look more street-like

[revhead]

i think its the dangle at which the picci is taken ,as when i made it i made the tail as high as the top of the tank.

Don't like the headlights man, doesn't work with the lines of the bike...maybe it just looks mounted too high??

why don't you go minimal - bicycle computer for speedo (perfectly legal I believe), and some over&under style lights

[Tony Nitrous]

Headlight position was limited by the clocks.
I like the factory dash with its fault codes etc.
Headlight looks odd because it is high,
its also too far forward and not close enough to the forks.

As I said, Paint, pipes, headlight, clocks, header tank could all be better
but it gets used and abused. Dont want a show bike just a fun naked bike.
To be honest brakes, horsepower and handling should come first.
Only did the tail because some bought it for me as a gift by the Mrs.

I'd like a good naked bike. Goal is to make it work better than a B-King.
I'd hoped the B-King would have been a naked Busa, but it wasnt.
This is shorter, lighter, has more leg room and a better tank range,
B-King still beats it by a few horsepower and waaaay better brakes,
..... at the momment.

I'd hoped the B-King would have been a naked Busa, but it wasnt.

So did we all mate :-)

I guess it would take the fun out of it if they did all work for you anyway

[Tony Nitrous]

Managed to fit the reg/rec into the new tail and squeeze the brake master
in too, not 100% happy so they might both get relocated. Hit it with a blue
rattle-can untill I make my mind up about paint, no rush. Had a play.
Still go's like a stripped down Busa should. Not beautiful, but very entertaining.

Job well done Tony i like to see these done properly not a half backed atempt .
Might copy yours one day

[big kev]

A round of applause goes to you to you have made that bike look kick ass I didn't like the tail in the beginning but now the bike looks so much better

Where is that photo at the top taken Tony (with the river in the background)? Looks like a glorious spot! Just needs a pub right there and it's the perfect location!!!!

Clear Mountain Rd.

2nd pic is Bunya Rd.

I live on Brisbane's Northside, and they are the two options I have
to get out of suburbia and head towards Mt Glorious or Samford Valley.

I only have a $50 "point and click" Kodak camera kept under the seat
but Clear Mountain Rd overlooking the little dam's is always worth a stop...
