did some painting and powdercoating on the busa
thanks to a busa board member for the tip on rustoleum satin
local board member hooked me up on the powdercoat job! painted the brake/clutch hand levers, swingarm bolt, engine bolt rear brake cylinder and little detail bits also painted the exhaust bracket bolt P/C the rearsets, buell pegs, shift/brake levers, pass pegs, shift rod, the 6 big bolt heads and 2 smaller ones now to the pics stock debating on whether to paint the throttlemeister ends and see how it holds up or P/C them. my throttlemeister on my VFR were P/C and actually wore off where my glove contacted them alot. generic pic of my HID lit up

Ah, the happy bus... still one of my favorite I4's
Nice job, Ed. The changes were subtle and tasteful.

Nice, I like that. I might have to do something similar, but I need to get a new seat, raise the rear and get a PC3/5

well i did wanna buy your sprocket lol
i'd like to black out the rear axle maybe paint the silver part of the gascap only thing i'd do performane wise is flash the ecu, but i'm having a hard time justifying $300-400 for 7-8hp and "smoother" power. think i should paint or powdercoat my throttlemeister.

When I had the Warrior, a lot of guys on the forums that went with the PC3 spliced theirs directly into the wiring instead of using the connectors. Apparently there was a fairly common issue with the stock connectors where the impedance would be off by a few ohms and would cause the adjustment to be thrown off, causing performance problems. With that sort of issue as a possibility, I'd rather just have the ECU flashed.
