I didn't get much done on tuesday or today had to do some paying jobs. I did't have any factory busa suspension links all I had was lowering links, And I wanted to set it up as close to factory as possible so I made a quick set just for mock up. Then I was able to get everything in place and tacked it all up. Tomorrow I will set it on the ground, check everything and finish welding it up and make some gussets.

Started doing a little machining of some parts today. I had drawn up a kickstart cover plate so I went ahead and knocked out 8 of them. The first two on the left in the pic I cut a little to deep with my radius cutter and it cut into the ingraving a little, so I changed the program and the rest of them look a better. So I am going to GIVE 7 OF THEM AWAY FOR FREE!!. 531blackbanshee will get one because he ask for one about 2 weeks ago so that leaves 6. If you want one just send me a private message with your address and I will ship one to you. Here is the catch I don't meen to be an ass but I will ONLY ship inside the U.S.A. the reason for this is because I hate filling out the customs papers at the post office, If I can't just drop it in the out going mail then I won't ship it. During this build I will make some parts and smaller parts like these I will make a few of them nothing major. I will give a few away.

No problem.
The avitar pic is a product that I make for the Hayabusa. Its a sprocket cover that protects the water pump incase your chain breaks, it's a common problem with the busa when you drag race. I use to stock them but with this economy the way it is and ama shutting down not much demand for it now.
