This is the nicest Busa I have ever seen!! Hands down!!! :thumb: I like a lot  :thumb:
Those wheels set it off, I would not add anything else to it.

WOW!

I've never thought i would get compliments like this.
thank you guys for the wonderful comments.

i had the thought of vortex gold rearsets...
after some of the comments from you guys i'm wondering if i should mess with them at all.

i worry about it being "too much" if you know what i mean.

very nice ride Grecco,  to finish it off, you need to do the side grill mod..   (meshing the fairing holes)

personal preference...
but for me the rearsets would take away from the scheme

I would however add black Arata rearsets
I've had Vortex & don't really like the footpegs
otherwise they're very nice
although you will run into some difficulties-if you reverse the shifting(compared w/ other brands)

I love how you blacked out the oems!

Subaru has been rocking the gold rims with great success for quite some time now.  There's a black one for sale down the street from me with gold rims.  Silver or Gold BBS come standard on the WRX STI.  I prefer the gold, especially on the Black or Blue models.

how are you feeling?

Feeling fine, accept a little sore from my surgery. Have to go up to Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN on the 22nd for 3 days to get a 2nd opinion on treating the 2 types of cancer that I still have in the liver. I know 1 of them will require another surgery :evil: but their not sure how to treat the other type that I have.
We'll find out more towards the end of next week.....I hope.

Thanks for asking Rajat (hope I spelled that right). :oops:

beaquel,
i really like the wrx sti's.
a local guy had a black one with gold wheels and i liked how it looked.
originally (back in 02 i think) Motohead had a black 02se with gold oz's and i knew i wanted that look one day.
then seeing the guy with the black sti with gold wheels... that did it.

Sweet, I hate it when i spell someones name wrong, or worse yet call them by the wrong name.

Youv'e done an exellent job with your busa. I would be proud to call it my own, but I got that ugly one in my garage :lol:
Yours just looks quick has hell. Be safe on her my friend.

Thank you HOS.
i really appreciate the comments.
i still love playing around in the twisties with the local squids.
there are parts on the bike to slam it however.
i did that just to play around i guess.
the last time i went to tail of the dragon, my bike was an inch higher in the rear.
but i love stock lenght and stock height turbo bikes (280hp,  not the big boy stuff) :P
silly i guess but its fun.

I shortened my wheelbase, took 2 links out the chain to liven up the handling  :thumb:
I know guys like to cruise in the US, but most of our roads are tight and twisty which is where the fun is  8)

it crossed my mind to take out two or three links but i now it may prove to be more of a dangerous ride for me.
 :P
i wish i could come over to your land and play in the twisties.
