Custom Gixxer K8 Busa! progress pics.. - [UNIT] - 09-01-2010
Hi all
Here's some pics of my K8 busa. Im part the way thru customising the bike. Not everyones cup-of-tea but im pretty eager to see it finished. Hold off judgement till im finished!
So far i've nearly finished making/fitting the gixxer tail. Have to extend the wiring harness and get a seat made and weld up some exhaust hangers.
Ive fitted a K5 or K6 gixxer front guard. And now sourcing a hugger.
As soon as the wiring and custom seat is done im pulling the fairings, guard, hugger and tank off to be sprayed, along with the rims and a few other small items. Im not too sure on the colour but i want to copy the coloured gen2 scheme mixed in with the coloured gixxer scheme. Hopefully it will tie in well.
Also fitting a 3+ rear sprocket if i can find a speedo healer or similar.
Here are the pics!
btw. before you say its too high i tried to match the angle of the tank stickers and pipes. somewhere in between! Ide rather it a slight bit lower but it sits similar to gixxers with the tip of the tail roughly 1inch higher than the tank.
Cheers

Im looking for places to paint the bike? Does anyone have some recomendations?
Is there any problem taking fairings/tank to a car smash repairs?

Hey unit great job mate. I think that the gixxer conversion looks the goods, and makes the bike look 50kg lighter. Well done mate, looks tops. By the way, was the front guard a bolt up replacement, or did you need to mod it. Im thinking about polishing my wheels, but with all the effort and that, I need to be able to see them, and your front guard looks the goods.
RE: Custom Gixxer K8 Busa! progress pics.. - [UNIT] - 13-01-2010
the front guard was a straight bolt on. i did some research but ive since forgotten what other years fit. im sure the 08 ones fit and are even smaller again but i got mine free so i cant complain.
btw the tail is actually alot lighter too. woulda saved the best part of 5kg i reckon.
