    Back from the paint shop

    As some may recall, we built a 317 horsepower Hayabusa, and at the time it looked a little cobby, as it had no lower fairing. The customer just got it back from our preferred body and paint guy, who modified a set of Catalyst lowers to work with the installation. I don't have a camera that will capture all of the subtleties in the paint (like the skulls embedded in the Suzuki emblems, but it still looks pretty damn cool...

    Damn that looks nice... I remember seeing that thing at the dyno shootout a couple of months back. Nice work.

    Re: Back from the paint shop

    i saw the build up on hayabusa.org, that is a pretty trick supercharger setup, not sure i like the big hump i might have went with some of the stuff sticking out and not covered up. but either way great job, looking to get a turbo kit for my busa, and when i do i will send it your way.

    To each his own, is all that I can say. I think Hayabusa's are fugly, but I can definitely appreciate the nice the paint job and definitely the specs of the motor and work done. To be honest, I really like that seat.

    Not my cup of tea, but I can still recognize and appreciate all the work that went into that thing, and for that I think it's awesome.
