There are Busa parts on there, let's see if you can find them. The Blue '83 has OEM black exhaust now.

That's the pipe. And it's still just as loud. It's not shorter, the swingarm is longer. I was sure I was going to get a lecture at the minimum, but nope

The rearsets are obviously Hayabusa, front calipers are the same Tokicos that the Gen1 bikes had too, along with the mastercylinder... can I guess that the pistons in the engine are also Heavy Bus parts?
Bike looks the business, I really like it. :encouragement:
Rearsets.. Everything else is Bandit. Pistons are Wiseco according to PO. One of the common problems upgrading the swingarm is rear brake linkage clearance. Best fix for me was just to move everything outside the frame rails. Few holes in a plate made the adapters, shift linkage hooked right up with minor rod length adjustment. But this is not a build thread. I will report back on the riding experience. Should be OK for riding the 3 miles to the drag strip.

I can tell you from experience that it will do exactly that. Or it did when it was on my 80 GS1100E restomod...

I went out for an hour test ride on my daughter's new bike, a 2000 ZR-7. Fun, light bike with good ergos, handling and power for the streets, and a 250 mile tank range. It could use a 6th gear if doing a lot of 80 mph highway cruising. But it begs to hit the secondary roads. These bikes didn't get good reviews when they first came out but I'd put it on a par with my SV650 for fun and capabilities, maybe quicker with more top end. The ZR-7 is smoother than my old GS850G and 100lbs lighter. You can't always trust the professional reviewers. It came with a new set of Metzler sneakers and a fly screen.
Yeah, the 1000 is getting prepared for its big summer adventure.
.... 36 more days till its adventure starts☺
I'll Pass on the boots! They were legitimately disappointed I didn't buy 1 piece of Harley apparel when I got my Street-Rod.Sounds like you're enjoying the Harley 750 Street Rod Justin...You'll need a pair of these now...

Nothing like riding a standard naked bike... The 750 class is the Goldilock zone motorcycles... Great machines to just blast around on. You can't get into too much trouble on them but they are no slouches either.
Steve I go on vacation in a couple weeks 5/12-5/21 when are free? I have to do some moving but I need to ride on this time off too... Going to be around if I swing through you neck of the woods? I'm planning on a 250 adventure... And a good blast with the Harley.
This little 250 is an Awesome little DS rig... I plan on doing some more work to make it a tad more comfy for long distance runs. Nice to sneak up into dirt roads and find gem views like this...
Got back to the house and tagged team the Connie... Wet blast but the I came across these spectacular views and colors when the sun broke... This folks is what riding a motorcycle is all about.
SO Happy... So Glad winter is over... Life, you may now resume!

Nice...couldn't ask for a better photo op and ride than that! I sent you a PM.
I did freeze some but grabbed another 70 miles or so after work yesterday. I'm killer stressed with work AND buying a house...
Went down to the lake (Champlain) and had a few moments staring across to Ticonderoga... Helped some, went home and there were more documents to sign and information to fetch... Plus the Cell was crammed full of work related issues...
I need a vacation.
