$1500 Busa, money well spent!

[trunkbuster]

To close the circuit for the clutch switch for the remote start I tapped into both the black w/yellow tracer wires on the left side control wire harness. I connected the wires to the N.O. contacts of the relay so when the remote start feature is used the relays ground is used as the trigger and the relay coil is activated. Again, a constant 12 volts is needed on the positive side of the relay coil.


I started with this...


And finished with this...

[trunkbuster]

Okay, finished the trunk trigger. Since the body is plastic I had to use the micro roller switch with a ground connection. I used epoxy/resin to mount it to the inner side of the tail trunk area.


The contact for the lever is made with a bracket I took from one of the alarm relays

[trunkbuster]

Okay, got 'er did! A little glue and some staples and BAM! I thought for sure my wife would go nuts when I put this stuff on the kitchen table






Not too shabby for my first time?! The instructions made it really easy too.

[trunkbuster]

Here's a schematic of a relay for reference purposes. The schematic shows the poles where the connections can be made, depending on the purpose of the relay.

[trunkbuster]

Got the tank put together and on last night! Just have to mount the siren and finish some wiring in the front then I can get the rest of the bodywork ready. I'll have to raise it back up to put the undertail on so I won't be able to work on the camera yet.

[trunkbuster]

Mounted the coolant recovery tank and filled the radiator then put the air box together and mounted it.

[trunkbuster]

I mounted a micro switch in the plastic trim on the side of the tank. The circuit closes when the tank is lifted, setting off the alarm




Installation of the rear-view camera. The camera is a day/night one with Infra Red light.

[trunkbuster]

I found a nice, little out-of-the-way place for the alarm siren. I sanded down the spot for it and used epoxy/hardener to mount it. The alarm LED is centered in the top of the dash. I used a dremmel tool to make the hole.

[trunkbuster]

This is what the back of the upper fairing looks like all together.

[trunkbuster]

I put the nose on this morning. Waiting on the plastic push-pins to come in so I can mount the nose underpan. Gonna polish and wax it one more time before I put the billet mirrors on.

[trunkbuster]

A view of the back right side. I wasn't too thrilled with the fit of the undertail, it's made by Yani Shiki. I have to repaint the hump and install that next.

[trunkbuster]

I should have her running pretty soon! I'll put the sound/video on here when I do. Got the nose underpan and PowerCommander mounted. Tested the electricals and, believe it or not , 99% of everything works! It doesn't lower when the alarm is armed Have to go back to the relay and see what's up. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it only has 3836 miles on it when I turned the ignition on!  I ended up having to install a 300 psi air pressure guage and another air pressure switch, the old switch's cut-off point was too low so I got a higher one rated 145-175. It works now but I've got another switch coming in rated 150-300 I might try too.  I can't test the GPS yet because I've got another bike blocking me in  As soon as I finish that one I'll be pulling mine out and testing the Wego, GPS, and remote start. It's getting there!
Okay, it's the 21st of May and I troubleshot the lowering issue last night. I have to go back in the black box and by-pass the diode I put in to the trigger, it isn't needed there and the resistance is too high, lowering the voltage output to the relay. Gonna try that and see what it do
I was able to correct the arming/air ride issue on the 22nd of May. It raises when disarmed, like it's coming alive, and lowers when armed, like it's relaxing

trunkbuster,

that's the most wiring I've every seen on a bike and I'v gotta say it's impressive. Wow- I might need to refer to your great pics if I decide to
add on later. Your camera and GPS devices are a great idea.

I built my busa (02-07 "frankenstein") completely from the internet, and it's bone-stock under the skin. No two components are from the same bike or place.
Everything 'plugged and played' perfectly. Though simple, it was much more fun to build than all the choppers I've done. I'm a convert.

Please keep the pics and updates coming!

Sharp! That's my favorite color Welcome to the dark side Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, the wiring burned up a few of my brain cells so I think I'm gonna see about using Bluetooth next time

[trunkbuster]

Just an update. I DOUBTED MYSELF I was having trouble getting it to stay running after it started. I went back and removed the wiring for the remote start capability, thinking it was my work, but it still did the same thing. After a little more trouble shooting I found out the PowerCommander wasn't powering up anymore. I replaced that and test fired it again, same thing I was about to throw in the towel and undo all the ignition wiring work, I took a few days off away from it instead.
  The night before I started back to work on it I had a dream about what was wrong and why it wouldn't start.  The following evening I did what was shown to me in my dream, which included upping the numbers on the PowerCommander map between 500 and 2000 rpm at 0 % throttle, and it started and ran!  I had a map I got from the PC website that was close to my set-up.  After I changed my underwear I found that I had to adjust the idle a little higher and now it sounds AWSOME! The throttle response is so crisp I was amazed, no bog or hesitation at all!  Sounds just like a race bike, with the muffler I'll see if I can put a sound clip on here after I put it back together.  
  I doubted myself, it wasn't my wiring at all!  I'll probably re-configure it later for remote start, I left it with the basic starter kill.  So, now I can finish the bodywork and put some insurance on it so I can ride over to the bike shop a few miles away and get the safety inspection done.  I'm going to check the numbers on the WEGO at the same time to make sure I'm not running too lean.

Love the color

Amazing work! Great thread!

[trunkbuster]

Thanks

[dadofthree]

Nice work, really like the windshield and nose. 

[trunkbuster]

Here's my front end.  I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you were talking about the purple Busa's nose

[trunkbuster]

6 nuts til done! I gave my friend some fairing screws, thinking I had plenty... Guess I should've counted them again Ron Ayers to the rescue!!


Figured I'd take a look at the accent lights in the mean time.

[trunkbuster]

I "borrowed" some screws from my Frankentana so I could load up the Busa and take it to my secret test grounds.


On the ground ready to rock.


I took it for a few passes at full throttle through all the gears and it ran fine except for a little stumbling at WOT. I had to shut it down when the cap popped off of the coolant tank and showered me with anti-freeze. I've never had that happen before so I'm not sure what caused it. The temperature was just reaching the "normal" point. Oh, well...  Have to run some more tests and see what happens next. After downloading the numbers from the WEGO I found it was running too rich across the board, going to adjust my PC map and run it again.

[trunkbuster]

Well, it still runs! I checked the coolant tank and the engine so I'm guessing there was just some air in the system when the thermostat opened that caused it to pop like that. I'll be taking it back out to test again, I modified the PC map. If it acts right then I'll get 'er registered
In the meantime, here's another look at the before pic:

[trunkbuster]

Well, it didn't act right I'll have to take the engine back out and space the head up again, needs a new head gasket... Oh, well, something to keep me busy

[magus]

always something fucking up just to keep ya busy         bike looks good
