Late update,
All complete and running as it should.
Man the engine is heavy, almost busted my back with no helpers!
I found the shift fork was rooted, and the shaft was bent a fair bit, 0.18mm total indicator, so that was replaced with a precision ground case hardened shaft, for the reasonable sum of $8.
If anyone wants to get one, Linear Bearings cut precision ground shaft to size, not sure though if I got a mates rates price, but would still be way cheaper than other options. It is 14 diameter, which I was surprised they kept in stock.
The actual undercutting process was easier than expected, and a solid carbide 6mm endmill did it perfectly, in a pretty decent CNC machine centre though. The cutter was a bit worn, but not as bad as I would have thought.
Great to get back on the Busa, spent a week riding my dads FJ1200 around, and although its not a bad bike, couldnt wait to get off it! That throttle didnt really do anything!
One thing I didnt notice at the start, but noticed in time, is that the clutch basket also needs to be removed to get to the GPS, so I also knocked up a clutch holder tool as well.
If anyone wants to borrow the tools, I am happy to let ya, even if you want to pay for postage I will send them off, but I'm sure you could find someone local if you try!
