    Re: what have you done to your bike this winter?

    I need to get some nice frame-sliders on my new little girl. GSXR 750 in case anybody has any thoughts on a nice set.

    And I won't do it myself for fear of screwing it up somehow. But need to get it done before I can ride her.

    Guess I should probably get the seat shaved too.

    they don't make a huge difference, but for the guy looking for ever bit of edge he can get they're just another step in the process. i found a used set for $125, considering they were $300 new and they don't make them anymore i'm not going to pass it up.

    you got a busa right? i hope if you turbo it, that it just isn't a rolling show bike. you race it? or just want the turbo so you blow off next to nOObs at street lights? lol

    yea i got a busa. Even though i take really good care of it and some people think it could be a show bike with some work, i ride the dog shit out of it. I just want a turbo for even more uneeded power, it still will be my daily driver in the summer and the once in a while test and tune at bandimere. But no i dont have 40 tvs, no chrome, no semi truck rear tire with a 90in swingarm.

    Well, i guess it's to bad I ride a BUSA KILLER

    LOL, I'm on a ZX12R. Muzzy Racing makes them still, but some say it's a copy of the original, Bear Racing. and 7-8hp is a pretty bold claim. Regardless, I'm not necessarily chasing HP I'm going for quicker ET and more MPH. I've been told real world gain is about 0.05 to 0.10 ET and 1 to 2 MPH. Not much to some, but for a little over $100 (the used set i'm looking at) not bad.

    Military, getting stationed in Aurora in April.

    You guys rent out a wideband/datalogger? lol, i'm not interested in dyno'ing the bike just want to real world tune it.

    I am switching the bike back to SWB when I get there, will be needing a new chain/sprockets. I'll hit you guys up for a price quote once I get there.

    You sell any race gas? Mainly interested in MR9. And do you do nitrous refills?

    Re: what have you done to your bike this winter?

    We haven't rented our wideband out yet, we have a new Lm-2 which we found to be far superior than all the others. But thinking about it we could set up a contract and I dont see why not. The only risk is the cost so we could set something up. We do refill nitrous and run e-85 for race gas, other than that we dont sell anything else. Sorry not trying to thread jack...

    usmcab what turbo kit/s are you looking at?

    Well I would be VERY interested in working out a "rental" of the wideband. I'll get in contact with you guys in a few months when I'm there. Thanks!

    well if everything was perfect in this world i would pony up for a rcc kit, but might have to get another that is alittle less $$, havent really narrowed it down yet just looking at them all and checking on the busa forum to see the pros/cons of each kit.
