Tell us a little about yourself and say hello to the gang. We would like to hear about who, what, and why you ride as well as how you found us.

Well I was thinking about the Street fighter look as well. Much cheaper too. :D
Here's a better less clutter view for the Street fighter edition.

Just need to figure out how to mount the head and tail lights.

Do you not have insurance on the bike?

I seem to recall seeing a street fighter busa once some place, don't remember where I was though.


dufremle, he mentioned some place that he didn't have full coverage. :(

Probably at a Suzuki dealer, it's called the B-King. :SideSplittingLaughter:

Have you gotten to take a looke at the rear brake? I was wondering about what all you would have to do to fix that

I would recommend you take it to a shop to have the entire bike looked over. You don't want to miss anything important.

Dude, not even, that thing was hideous.! :ar15:

As DS mentioned, I only had basic liability so it's not going to cover this scenario.

I was definitely planning on doing that before getting back on but can anyone recommend a good shop?

Not yet, I've only had the chance to take the farings off.
Will let you know.

A lot of the club members use Cycle Werkz. They're a private shop that specializes in sport bikes. There's a link to their website right there at the bottom of this page. If you need some help getting your bike to a shop, let us know.

They will go over everything on the bike and make sure they identify as much as they can. They usually do this with insurance so I am not sure how much they would charge for it. You can call them and ask.

Dittos on the above and dont forget that if you have questions or just need a hand with that beast, let us know.
One of the other benefits if you go to CycleWerkz is they work on alot o busa's...and I mean ALOT! Im sure they know every mm of those bikes front to back and could tear down and rebuild one in the dark.
