Clive's Hayabusa

[Joseph]

Hey sorry to bother you again but if it's easily accessible could you confirm this measure on the Busa knuckle ?

This could be the culprit in my suspension swap issue, so knowing the busa length could help

Thanks !

Yea, easy peasy lad.

Thanks. Doesn't look any different in bolt spacing to a K1 item.

Out with the old pump.

Where did you get the kit from? I have to fit one to the 1100G when I get round to finishing the injection conversion.

All you need is a fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator, I was going to make my own up but this kit from TTS comes with a billet crank case breather which replaces the big origanl one and all the new stuff just bolts to it. When I turbo it I'll just change the regulator from 3 bar to a 5 bar one    .

Same here, but if there's a kit for an oil cooled 1100 it'll save some time and fannying about. It's low priority because of all that work nonsense, but I'd like to get the G back on the road for the winter if I can. Although plan 'B' would be an RF900 as a fairing will help my poor old bones in the Arctic wastes of the Redditch bypass.

Not heard of a kit for a oil boiler bud, as said all you need is a fuel pump and a pressure regulator pipe and clips.

I know, I priced up a Walbro pump, Malpassi regulator, pipe, AN fittings, mounts etc and it was £250-ish which isn't bad. Just being lazy if there's a kit that all comes in one box.

Given your 'normal' weapons of choice it'll be interesting to see what you think of a 'busa once you've used it a bit and got some miles on.

Yes it's a bit different to what I normally ride. 

[clivegto]

Weapons of choice as @imagoputs it. 3 of these are on the road this year.

I still reckon out of all the bikes you have which I've seen, if you offered me the chance to take one home it would be the slabby scratcher.

The Scratcher is a complete weapon and with the small turbo running on high boost has similar characteristics to its former self but faster. Magnum is fooking awesome making similar power on less boost. Zooma is a complete giggle to ride but don't quit move as quickly in corners as the other two and not as fast but fun all the same. I been riding turbo bikes for 12 years or so now every thing else feels slow. Beauty of the the ones I have is that you can just cruise round on them if you want like a big bore motor with more torque

At work I am rebuilding a Ducati Streetfighter V4S at the moment. Looking forward to seeing how that rides.

 No problemo  same wheels I'm using in the Moto Martin 

[baldrick]

They're miles lighter than busa ones and virtually fit right in. Think I needed a one off disc and TL caliper hanger

[clivegto]

Met up with @Rageroverthis afternoon to collect a tank from him with an6 & an8 fittings it's also been altered to cover the frame where the farings normally fit, cheers bud .
