Lookin' good, Ben! Kinda old school. Love the avatar!

Can you put up a pic of that brown Busa?

Nice Bike

Thanks for the compliments

Thought you might like that Cookie.......I know I have seen that Avatar somewhere before

I will get some pics up of Jeff's Busa,the paint and the detail work on his bike is really nice.As soon as the weather warms up we will get back to getting mine done and hopefully get some finshed pics up soon!

Yeah, I used to wear that avatar until I found the freaky eyeball.

I couldn't think of anyone finer than you to carry the blue turbo monster around!

Thanks Cookie,I remember when you had that Avatar.I copied and saved it to my computer and when I seen you wasn't using it I thought I would carry the torch.This pic is from today we still half to get the brake calipers and some small stuff painted but we are real close to being done.Thanks for the compliments!

Hey Ben, bike looks bad ass. Got a few questions for you. First do you street ride that bike? How far are the forks cut, and how far is your oil pan off the ground? I ask because I was thinking about cutting my forks 2 inches instead of 1 for my street bike. I just wanna make sure the oil pan will still be safe.

BEN · « **Reply #10 on:** March 04, 2010, 04:20:21 PM »

I very rarely street ride but when I do I haven't any problems with clearance for the oil pan but when I do but I take it pretty easy,just Cruz around.The forks are cut 2inches and it also has a 5 degree rake.I have never really measured how far my oil pan is from the ground.I will check that and get back to ya!Thanks for the comps on the bike!

Hey cool paint job!

Im about to do something close to that using close colors. I'll post pics once its done.

Cookie · « **Reply #15 on:** November 26, 2010, 04:12:35 PM »

It really looks sick, Ben.

Strangely,, I do like the change up in colours on the tank. I love contrasts rather than predictable flow.

Ksana · « **Reply #16 on:** November 26, 2010, 06:44:36 PM »

Pretty sharp!! Like both paint though.
Was about to ask how the air shifter was attached, but just noticed the zip tie.
Maybe you can enlighten me on the swingarm: what is the upper bracket? Some kind of wheelie bar?

Looks Good Bro

if you ever need anything else

BEN · « **Reply #19 on:** December 28, 2010, 09:10:02 AM »

Thanks for the comps everyone!!

Thinking about doing away with the bling and going with a black out on all the shiny and satin finish stuff.Just thought I would get some opinions of what you guys might think on how that would look and who to use to do the powder coating.

Thanks!
