Title: Got Busa forks on my Bandit, but......
Post by: gdavis2265 on December 24, 2006, 11:27:31 AM: I hate the shape of the Busa front fender. Does anybody know any direct replacements for it?

I've heard that a 916 fender might fit.???

Thanks for any info.

I am betting that 916 fender may cost more than the whole Bandit!

I just talked to a guy that installed a 2006 gsxr600 fender on his Busa by drilling out the rear hole and using the lower front hole. So I have one of those fenders on order.

Sorted my wheel bearings and made spacers, I'll post final pics soon. here are some older ones:

'happy ridding :motorsmile:

Just curious, but why did you put a breather there?
What about the one in the valve cover?

Post by: Red01 on January 24, 2007, 02:07:46 PM: Just seems like it'd be a PIA anytime you needed to add oil to the powerplant.

Post by: wheeliekev on February 26, 2007, 06:13:42 AM: i have ran breathers in that position for years with no problems, i run them there because i wheelie a lot and dont want oil surging up the pipe :grin:

Post by: Red01 on February 26, 2007, 09:40:11 AM: But with the stock breather in the top of the valve cover, oil surge shouldn't be a problem until you have the engine running upside-down.

Post by: solman on March 03, 2007, 06:46:07 AM: So what did you use for triples? I would like to go with inverted forks, but I definitely want my instrument cluster and handlebar risers.
