Whats going on in your garage

Funny that the stock Busa will run a higher MPH and only a little off your dragbike. Maybe it's time to sell the dragbike and get another Busa for the track?
 
That would be the ultimate. Bet it would run mid to low 9's with a stock motor. Would need alot of work. Frame would have to be raked, another swingarm with bars. Billet inner hub and basket. Fuel injection would have to go. Doesn't work well with the 2-step. Unless you used a throttle stop as the 2-step. That might work. All the busa parts are expensive. it would not be cheap.

I would lay money on that. Our local winner from last year runs solid mid / low 9's on a stock one. Longer swing arm, slick, slider and some times a little N2O. Seems like you have given this a LOT of thought!! I think you should do it. Pass one of your 1150 cranks onto me when you do! Your missing one key part, the Turbo! LOL.

I managed to finish up the engine tonight and fire it. Link is a 600K video of the first start with the new FBG head, your buds cover, Web cams and the BFT. Now if I can just figure out how to drive the stupid thing I'll be all set.

I finally got the Mighty Buffalo far enough along that I could take it for a spin... Wow what a fun bike to ride!

That is sweet. I keep thinking about a new bike and the more I think about it the more I want a two-stroke again.

Over the winter, I restored this gs850. I put the fairing with lowers (lowers not on at time of picture), cyclesound, and successfully painted it with .96 cent a can Walmart spray paint. I also put side covers on it, a tach seal, oil filter and plugs, and the saddle bags. It started out pretty rough. It is not perfect but much better than when I started.
This is driven daily to when the weather cooperates. Has 34,000 miles on it. It was fun working on it.

The garage is still full of projects. this current one is almost done for a local dude. Braced and POwder coated frame to 1166 kit and lots in between. Motor went in yesterday cosmetics will be back from paint in a few days.

As you can see in the background is another potential BEAST. I have a 1428 that needs a cradle..................
