Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 7, 2020 Share how is she mechanically?absolutely fine. Needs a carb, but otherwise it's just been rebuilt. New rods, crank, piston, rings etc etc. Essentially a brand new reconned engine. On the list of things I need to get are: 1 - carb & air box & filter2 - lighting (LED based lighting running off a large LiPo battery)3 - new throttle assembly (has a push/pull throttle as standard, want a single action) Then it's just a case of putting her together.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 7, 2020 Share Have you done anything with her since you sent me those pics?I have the suspension linkage from the States. All nice and shiny. But no, unfortunately. Time, and the fact that it's being stored at a mate's place. And disposable cash to make it happen... First step is the powdercoat, once that's done it should be plain sailing.

Patchelicious Posted February 8, 2020 Share all about cruising?Yes of course. The engineering on that bike is amazing. You usually extend the swing arm like that for anti wheelie purposes, that Busa is not going to be raced any time soon.
