...i need some help. I'm building a scale model and wanted to know if the instructions are correct. Is this a stock color scheme for the busa in 2002?

[spinko]

Yes it was.... also why not do a search for "2002 Hayabusa" on google and hit the "images" tab. that should help with the other color schemes.

[rockshoxbiker]

thanks spencer, i just learned something new (with google).

turns out my busa paint scheme is reversed in the tank/ fairing

[spinko]

lol, so it is... i didn't notice. :thumbup.

[newbusa]

Wow! What a beautiful paint scheme!Every time i see that paint scheme,I am held in awe of the utter beauty of the mighty busa.:D :p

[Sikorsky]

Kinda common though. There are two guys, brothers I think, that have matching bikes in my little town. Even matching jackets if you can believe that! :laughing

[newbusa]

Hey you dirt bike wuss!It says on the thread Hayabusa owners and fans,Can't you read?Fricken poser!:rolleyes :)

[factory_pilot]

take it easy there buddy, he's not making fun of busas.

anyways, rockshok, i don't know if you've built models before, but just in case, here's a couple tips...

instructions call for use of an emery board to file down the little plastic nubs, but just use a box cutter, like an Olfa blade.

quick, fast and clean, it works perfectly.


For contact cement, you can actually buy that stuff in glue stick form now, I just used the end of a paper clip to apply the glue. no mess at all.

[newbusa]

Hey Factory-pilot,Sikorsky and i are buddies we always make fun of each other,Thats the way it is here.:D

[factory_pilot]

oh i'm sorry, I must of left my reference book "Things that are blatantly obvious, you shoulda known for Dummies" at home.

My bad.

:roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

You forgot to add: Slow, porky (almost bulbous...) and have a horrible habit of tipping over :laughing.

BLUEBALLS:thumbup

[newbusa]

Hey Blueballs,If memory serves me right your blue weezer almost coughed up a lung trying to keep up with the slow,bulbous,heavy Busa,at SBW2002!:laughing :p :) :flip ,Oh and one more thing,I thing some jealous bastard pushed it over at the dragstrip,:D some people will do anything not too lose!:D

[Brendan]

The egg !

[rockshoxbiker]

factory pilot - thanks for the tips. i did all the details.

I'm almost done, that's why i'm asking about the body and i just realized the box has a revised paint scheme, i'll try to post pics after i finish up

You could always go with the much faster SE color

[BMR]

I have seen a silver Busa with all the gawdy decals removed,(all of them) and you would not believe how great it now looks. The cheesy stickers detract from the bikes appearance. And this bike needs help in that department

And as a former Prince Rupert resident, (74-86) rest assured that our riding friends up there know how to take care of buisness if any trouble comes up!!!....it's something you learn after crossing the Galloway Rapids, and cruising down Apache pass..

CLARIFICATION

I believe the FZ1 was clearing the "phlem" in its throat from slowly following Gramps on the Busa inorder to make sure he didn't hurt himself whilst tryin' to keep pace with an '86 VFR :laughing:flip :laughing...

Yep, the memory IS the first thing to go.... especially the memory of the right wrist :p. Man, yousa gonna need twist therapy before you come back down to the garder :laughing.

BLUEBALLS:thumbup

[Young Lion]

All I know is both you fools (NewBusa & Blueballs) were sucking wind behind the little F4 last summer in Kelowna!

.........oh, Sorry to the thread starter for messing it up and to everyone else reading this - yes, this should have been PM'd and I know, noone wants to hear us bragging about how fast we are - Sorry.

[Harps]

With respect to the paint-scheme rockshox posted...did you ever notice how the downward swoosh on the side fairing looks like the head of a falcon? Especially with that strategically placed bolt to make it look like an eye. Someone pointed that out to me once, and now that's all I see. It looks cool!

[spinko]

Never noticed that... sweet!!

[3 of 7]

Well, it is faster than the scale model right? haha
BTW a $1.00 resistor will take care of the limiter

[newbusa]

Let me see if my psychic abilities still work....I bet you bought that 2003 all black Busa from Dave at Harbour city motosports right?I bought mine there as well.:) Now you have to visit Hayabusa.org:D To see how much more money you can spend on it and make it go quicker.:p

[3 of 7]

well, your close John....I deal with Lon there LOL
The tank bra is on order.....throttle lock is sitting on the fridge....I already installed the optional centerstand....
I gotta get my break in miles on before I worry about making it any faster than it already is.

[newbusa]

Ya ,I have a whole bunch of shit done to mine,I also tried the center stand but i have a Akro full exhaust system so i only have one can on the right side,,And the center stand stuck out so far that it was heinous looking i hade to sell it.You can get stuff used off the Hayabusa site cheap.There is over 1500 members on that site so there is always stuff for sale.:)
