HID headlights. They make the Hayabusa look nicer and also increase your visibility for those night rides. So, it is a win-win. :cheers:

Sorry guys, guess I forgot to subscribe to this thread. This is actually my business that does this work. Or I guess I should say I handle the powersports business. You send us your parts and we turn them around in 2-weeks or less. So hit me up if interested. thinker.hall@comcast.net

I had a silver/silver 09 and wanted something a kittke less BMWish looking. My favorite Busa scheme was the blue/silver from several generations ago so I decided to go blue/silver but play off the 08 orange/black scheme (which is very aggressive and hot).
Actually got the parts painted at Maaco for $400! Next up are Yoshi R-77 slipons, PCV with Auto Tune module, K&N filter, Galfer steel lines all around, Brembo radial master cylinders, EDH pads, and 1" rising links. Big Christmas!

Well I finally got around to re-assembling the Busa after painting, R-77 slip ons, PC5, K&N, Galfer SS lines, Brembo MC, EBC Double-H pads, and 1" riser links. I was very happy with the MAACO paint job that only cost me $400. I didn't want anything too radical, just personalize it a bit. Hope to do some road teating, adjust brakes and suspension this weekend.

Anything to do with Candy Powdercoating is sexy (that's the process we do over chrome or polished aluminum to look like my rims)...her is an example of my Turbo plenum, NOS bottle, Starter gear cover, and clutch pack pressure plate. Also these engine covers are the sexiest I have seen around, only down part is by the time I chromed them I had well over $1500 in them.

The material for these seats was realy expensive. It was a special order item, which ran me $600 for the materials, I should have enough left to do another set or two. Its the finest material that I could find, an ultrasythetic leather, softer than leather, and more durable to boot. The labor cost was about $240-250, but you have to take into acount that the foam was reshaped (You have to see it in person), the seat pattern was all custom designed, and there are raised sections that were added to the front seat where you see the three scallops and bump pad to the rear. That also included the cut out indention for the Bull badge, and the cost of embroidery for the lettering.
It is going on my Prostreet showbuild, but I can tell you it is by far the most comfy seat I have ever sat on bar none.
It is done in house at my friend's shop...if anyone is interested in something similar shoot me a PM and I will work it out for you. If you go with cheaper materials you can save alot of $$$, I just didn't want to skimp out on my seat as I realy intend to put some miles on this bike.
