Well, you let me do stuff to your bikes, so I suppose it was time I upgraded my own. I was kind of attached to my old kit so I made a few changes. I get quite a few emails about if I can do this and that. I usually can and I only really work exclusively on the busas because of the good folks who own them. You already know that becuase you are all here. So, let's say that I only work for the type of people who own busas, not nessecarily own busas. Does that make any sense? Anyway, enjoy the pics from this arvo. A big thanks to Dan (Doohan) who helped me with the parts of the new website (hayabusa.com.au, still working on it) that i was too thick to figure out for myself. Cheers Brother. Helping me out is exactly what I am talking about.

Thanks Rod. A little to old to be "babybusa" but thats how we treat it "our baby". Will be making the trek to Jindabyne in Feb, and the missus is already talking about "Numb Butt", the original seat just doesn't feel so good after a couple of hours.
Cheers Rod. It is definately a tricky process becuase Tobin is so old school. Oh yeah, I meant the backwards kanji. lol. I started doing it on the right for a design reason, I mostly do it now because it bugs people. I don't like the kanji going pointed back when it is flamed. I just doesn't look right and since I don't speak japanese it comes down to what it looks like. The other side is normalish.
Dave, I get those seats made in NY by a bloke named Tobin O'Connor. He is a bit of celebrity in our world. I take care of most the aussie ones because I do design and supply exchanges. I am pretty sure that I am the only shop in the world who does that. I am certainly the only shop that follows it from the start to the finish. My seats are booked solid until the new year but it doesn't stop me from getting the setup ready and help you make half decent choices about which way you want to go. I can assure you that the seats are comfy enough (I am sure many will agree) but not like a cruiser, more like sitting on a bar stool as opposed to a plank of wood. lol. Theya re specially shaped to fit your arse.
drop me a line at thunder_composites@primusonline.com.au and I will cook something up for you.
Dave I got my front and rear seats from Glen annd they are fantastic. The padding takes a little while to break in but after the first few long ride are very comfortable.
Glen,
I am sorry mate I will really try to get the rear posted back to you tomorrow. Been working 12 hour days and at the end of the shutdown finding it hard to get the time away during business hours for the 25k drive into town for the post office.
Tomorrow I promise I'll send it express. Bruce

Thanks brother, I appreciate it. Are you still swinging by this way at xmas? I see you have some pressing issues but the offer still stands if you want it.
Love to mate but it all depends on when I finish up here. If I get it all done by Friday week then yep I'll stop in but if any later then it will be a flat out chemically enhanced non stop run across. Bruce
