fraggle 4 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 simple mate, rip of the fairings, smash on a set of renthal bars. and tada you have the tuono. more than that then your going custom head lights, clocks etc etc, which is gona start getting expensive. Or if you mean just to the mille, you can get new rear sets, exhausts, make everything carbon fibre. etc etc. theres a load you can do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chimp 299 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 the hayabusa is long gone , i think the new owner had it in a couple of mags , he wanted it as the paint job matched his TVR lol , the paint is from extreme and is blue into red flip (cost me £250 supplied and painted) 193 bhp asspirated but with the nitrous hit 330bhp. the rear tyre in the pic lasts 10 miles (yep TEN) and was used for straight line stuff , quickest 1/4 was in 8.3 secs. the gixer doesnt look much but was a work of art , even the tank and wheels was pure carbon fibre and the bike was light as f**k. i have had 10 or so hayabusa's and always end up messing around with them , got some pics of a corona one and my rizla one somewhere (i will dig em out) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RicW 67 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Well Holy Fucken Sh*t. Mate of mine has a Hayabusa. Vance & Hines zorst, K&N, Full Dyno, nitrous, single skin panels. I thought he was a mad b'staard but you make him seem normal. Respect bro! Ric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chimp 299 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 ive found a few more pics , i'm trying to find the ones of my 750 srad nitrous which was lethal , so much so it decided to detonate on me and left a nasty stain in my leathers. a few i made for my self and one for a mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevin from bristol 95 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 have you built all these from salvaged bikes ? you done a hell of a job don't know were i would start the red to blue filp paint is well nice , so far i decided to keep the can thats on my bike and shot all fairings then its going to wolfies spray shop in brecon wales were going to sit down and plan out mayhem if that can be done and jack up the rear surspension i have never done this type of thing to a bike before so we will see what happens , thanks for the ideas though and nice bikes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyfr1968 772 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Some class looking bikes there, Chimp!! What's the deal with the TL? It looks about 3 inch's too short? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chimp 299 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Some class looking bikes there, Chimp!! What's the deal with the TL? It looks about 3 inch's too short? Cheers. i thought that when i got it and it didnt see much of the front wheel (probably why lol ) not all from salvage but most are , bikes are so easy to work on and i can strip a busa in 2 hours. i would say get all your trick bits from the states and buy 3 or 4 of them to sell over here ( all the bling on the busa cost nothing after i sold the spare ones) powder coating can be a bitch to remove from screw holes so make sure every hole is bunged up. if you want serious power go to a drag race meeting and ask pit crew if they know of any seconds engines going, £5000 went in the hayabusa engine alone but only cost me a straight swop and £500. im on the look out for a gixer k3 onwards to fighter but money is tight as im losing my job soon so may have to wait Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevin from bristol 95 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 you real know your stuff man , you just made me think i can sell what i'm stripping off may go towards the job fairplay , i ain't putting no 5 grand in my engine though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
