Well after 7 years of owning my busa last year I decided to try my hand at drag racing. Didn't do so hot but started a bit lat in the year. Trying to get comfortable with the bike again and even though my times weren't great I got hooked. And so it began.
Lost one of the pics from when it was a stocker, all I got is a front shot.

Then I got my New Image seat and failed at gutting the exhaust for more sound.

Than later in the year I added a Cycle Tek air shifter, full exhaust, and lowered the bike.

Only got to make 4 passes on the air shifter so didn't get to feel it out much. But I know I love it.
Ended my year early and took almost a nice picture cept for my finger of my favorite straight road.

Only a little more progress. Bike is back together for the most part. Have it at only 4" over atm chain wasnt long enough for 6, got my new chain for 6 over today.. Only rough fit of the new tail. Going to look sick once I get it all setup and painted.

The latest pics of her all finished for now. Lost my job so thats as far as she will get for this year. :td:
-
it looks good
-
thanks, just need a fresh coat of paint all around. Thinking of changing the decals to the flat gold as well. I like the way its turned out so far. Only got to make one set of passes on her this year though sadly.
if my bike had the black frame i would have jumped on your copper parts you had for sale earlier. Love that color
-
i have used the bedliner in a can paint with good results to paint the frame..wont cost much and easy to do!!

all back together and got to go for a ride finally.
Co2 hooked back up, painted tail and hump, new gauges, new front fender, new front tire. Time put some miles on!
-
oh and lowering strap just kinda wrapped around neck for the moment, noticed while changing front tire that the lowering strap had a tear just about half way through :td:
So ordering a new strap, not sure what would happen if it broke while riding but im sure it wouldn't be to fun.
-
A pic of the gauges lit up. Love the look and visibility at night over the stock look.

love this
