    Lookin good. De-beaver/de-badge that thing though. Question on that Busa mod, how does that affect removing the tank?

    Default Drive shaft and Hub

    Question on your drive shaft and Hub. Do you have the covers on them from DLP? If so which ones did you go with and how was the fit and finish?

    Andy, Yes I have the Hub & Shaft cover from Chrome FX M109R Drive Shaft and Hub Cover sold at DLP. It has a decent shine, mine appears to be a little milky ( could be from the UV protection) but it looks ok. The fit is nice.. I added more 2-sided tape, and I will have to cut out the axle cap hole so my spike will fit.. other than that, it's good......Hope this helps

    B, I gonna go out on a limb and say that the Busa cover will have to be removed if you need to remove the tank...so, have plenty 2-sided tape ( the good stuff from 3M ) on hand. I hope I dont have to pull the tank..but, if I do. Oh Well!!

    Hmmm that sounds like a PITA. I can't tell you how many times I have pulled my tank in the 2 years of owning the bike for various reasons. Have fun w/ that.

    The rear cover I bought used 2 years ago. The fork covers for a couple months.

    I wonder if velcro would be a suitable replacement for the 3M tape. And yes, removing the tank is something that seems to get done on a regular basis.

    Looks great, there's a lot of detail work that you have to look at to see. I'm with the only done for today too.

    I had a friend who owns a digital vinyl cutting machine create the graphic and cut it out of a silver vinyl ( there is only 2 in the world ) I was able to leave it on my cowl and when I painted my bike, I just highlighted the graphic and cleared over it... I will post an up close photo of my hub cover in a few.. Thanks for the comments on my 9..

    What(brand) are, and where did you get the brake and shift levers? They just might save me from an electric shifter (leg amp).

    Jim, if you're not still running stock grips and you have the end caps, put one on the hub shaft/axle to cover it up. It pops right on
