And the story: There's really not much of a story. I purchased this bike brand new in May of this year. I've been slowly adding new things to it here and there. I LOVE the way this bike looks stock but wanted it to be just a little bit different than everyone else's. I think one of the main things, all-be-it small, that changed the appearance of the bike are the new black stickers. It's what brought the bike together for me. Most likely this is how the bike will stay for awhile. There's not much more I'd like to do with it plus with a baby on the way, money will be a bit tighter. :cool:

waiting 4 those 2 b done so i can install the nitrous and Air shifter and get it tuned and some dyno tunes/maps made. also frame covers not shown
because they are getting painted 2 match the rest of the bike and white fairing screws.
And the story: Hmm, I started off with an '02 R6, had it for a few years and put 20k miles on it and wanted to upgrade.
I almost bought an R1 but found a great deal on this bike late in '05. I drove to L.A. and road it home to phx. bought it with 29xx miles on it,
and now after MANY road trips, mexico trips, ect.. shes about 2 turn over 40k miles. Now that this $ pit is "almost" done, im prob gonna pick up
a 2nd busa and turn 1 into a show bike so i can stop messing up this paint job and turn the other into a street/strip bike so i cant feel and wanna
off myself if i lay this 1 down.

I bought this bike bone stock about 4 years ago with the intentions of using it to save money on gas back and forth to college. I chose a 600 because being young thats all I could afford insurance on. Once I began to do all the small modifications, the addiction took off. Blinkers and a windshield turned into a full exhaust and power commander. Polished levers and bar ends turned into a fully polished frame and swing arm. And riding with guys on bigger 1000s and busas meant I needed something to keep up and so came the turbo kit.
Making a little over 90hp to the wheel from the factory its now upwards of 145hp with a modest 6lbs of boost and pump gas. With the t25 kit, custom intake manifold, upgrades to the fuel pump, different sprockets and a good sticky tire keeping up wasnt a problem any more.
Once I got to that point it was clear that there was going to be no end in sight and my money saving bike was going to drain my wallet. Being a full time student and having a part time job there was other priorities that had to come first
like food. I ended up looking for cheaper ways and buying used parts, rebuilding broken or discarded parts out of the box in the garage that had all the parts taken off other bikes I had worked on for side jobs. And the best resource for any builder on a budget
eBay!
I didnt have an unlimited budget like most full custom bikes built by shops, and definitely had limited resources when it came to tools and space to work but I made do. MirrorLook Customs played a huge part in getting the bike to where its at with the polish work and the paint job. Its a solid deep orange with House of Kolor graphics, and then hand pinstriped in yellow around the edges with a helmet to match. The chrome and polish work is second to none and holds up on a bike that sees a lot more than the inside of a trailer.
