Absolutely loving your work.

How straight forward was fitting a Gen1 Hayabusa swingarm other than single suspension mounts? Are they the same dimensions?

Latty66

Hiya mate its pretty stright forward the swingarm barings are the same size so you can use your original swing arm bolt and the busa swing arm is shorter and narrower you need to make or find an 8mm spacer for the right hand side and 2 extra shims for the left hand this will get you ball park for the chain alignment  you can use standard busa shock and dog bones bottom rocker and bolts you.ll need to make the top mount and brace it center and top reinforce the center stand mount and your about there if youve got the tools its about a good day or weekend or yeah you need to trash the air box and undertray  and keep all the brass fittings to remount the air flow switch re make a battrey box and somwhere to fit the ecu

Hi lloyd if i get a mo i.ll take some better pics of the way the top mount is set and if ya need any more info lets know i.v still got all the busa resr end cheers mate

Im in two minds about moding the motor i.v got a mate with a rolling road he keeps moaning on about power commander and set up dumping the original air filter and puttin on x4 ram air,s aint made a massive diffrence to the way it runs . Me mate keeps banging on about gsxr 1000 throttle bodies and  a set of cams and the power commander 5 (£1500) ish and it should push 160 to 180 bhp . But im not sure yet i maybe do it as it is i like the way it performs he keeps saying put it on the roller and we.ll see what it pulls now but i know he.s just trying to suck me in haha

Best allrounder I've ever owned 👍

Hiya mate
  Could not agree more just about  every bike i.v owned has been to restored to factory standard you only have to watch (tt 2015 last run over the montain gsx1400 ) on you tube to see how capable these bikes are in standard trim .That said when i bought this bike i wanted to step out of my comfort zone and build something unique to me . A sort of reversal to the norm . Like bikers world wide modding bikes gives that oppertunity to show your individuality . I took the bike up home to show 4 mates i.v known since i was 4 years old all bikers and got 3 positive and 1 negitive.  wierdly the negitive guy owns an xjr his comment was you totally f××ked that perfectly good bike . Candor you can only take with good grace . Remember we ride what we love and we love what we ride . I.ll try and add a pic of the gsxr 1100 i did last year which was a total knacker when i bought it cheers latty
