Hi,

time for a new project:

Front lowered, swing arm on left side, fat rear tire ...

Body-parts are alredy in primer, in the next days the´ll get colour. Engine won´t be seen later under the fairing, so no details

here a quick mock up:

Nice pics! I look forward to more...:popcorn:

Nice! Tell us some more, please! Is it the image or is that a white metal frame?! Where did you get the rear tire?
Build looks promising, what color is it gonna be?

Hi Joel,

maybe it was the bad light yesterday evening, no, it is just the dechromed frame from the kit. Engine won´t be very detailed, as it can hardly be seen under the fairing.

The rear tire you find here http://www.automobilminiaturen.de/shop/xtcommerce/index.php?cat=c86_Revell-Bikes-1-12.html , of course the wheel needs some changes, that it will fit.

Concerning the colour one thing is sure:

This is not what it will be: :lol: :lol: :lol:

... this will be a toy for boys, not girls, so it might be light blue :dunno:

Ipressive! I'll see well also front 1art fork, like Bimota thesi ;)

Interesting idea, Gio, but than it seems be easier, to start with the Bimota kit.

Yummy!! I love it you crazy German!! :D
I like your title - very suitable to the project ;)

So in fact you are not as crazy as I thought :( ... :evillol: ;) j/k

Micha-

This is one nice Busa. I like the name of the project too. The swing arm looks good. I'm thinking about doing my busa or ZXRR stretched and salmmed too. I thought about doint the swing arm in brass and that way I could chrome it, but haven't decided yet. I hear you on the details on the motor as it won't be seen. Sometimes I detail areas that won't be seen and wonder why. Keep us updated on this project. It is sweet.

Hi,

body is painted, as promised not in pink :evillol:

(sorry for the bad photo, but I guess, colour comes out great)

Hi,

just a little update to show, what´s coming up ...

Ha ha, wonderful!! Great idea!

;) sluuurp!!

Very nice--creative!:iceslolan

I've been following this build but don't have much to say since I know little about bikes. I am enjoying where this is going, and the Gulf livery is cool!

So I feel bad about popping just to ask:

The rear tire you find here http://www.automobilminiaturen.de/shop/xtcommerce/index.php?cat=c86_Revell-Bikes-1-12.html , of course the wheel needs some changes, that it will fit.

Who makes that tire? Shipping to the USA from overseas is a lot, and I'd love to find a stateside distributor. Thanks!

Hey Micha, beautiful work you are doing here, excellent idea for the livery. I don't know much about this bike but its gorgeous. Before the paint went on, it reminded me of some futuristic bike like you'd find in the movie Tron.

Hi willmo,

I guess this tire is a production of automobilminiaturen.

Here some update:

as mentioned: engine and frame nearly OOB, will later be hidden by the body-parts

Hayabusa with Gulf color is nice idea!
wondeful paint job and that is very impressive project.

Getting better all the time! Nice finish and the frame/engine-parts looks really clean!

Really can't wait to see a mock-up Micha: impressive, original, badass bike.

Hi,

thanks for the comments !!!

A wide rear tire brings a problem: the tire and the chain will have contact. But there is a solution: the chain must be placed a little bit more away from the longitudinal axis. No problem at the rear axle, but usually the chain leads between transmisson and frame to the bevel wheel. So you need another axle with 2 bevel wheels at the swingarm.


Here a 1:1 bike:

here at the model:

later this area will get a cover, similar to the 1:1 photo

this is interesting

Hi,

yes you wait for a mock up, but before I had to solve some problems fixing the rear wheel, nevertheless here is a little update:


Frontfairing 95% finished

Maybe someone realized, that I opened the area, where the co-driver sits. Here I put in a NOS-bottle, built like this:

(sorry for the photos)

I really like the swingarm with the cable loops you made. The front fairing is fantastic, super clean with the signal lights and mesh.

Very interesting idea for the chain? I wondered how you would fix that problem with clearance?
Is that NOS for a suicide run??? I wouldn't want to ride it!

Very cool. Great idea for paint/livery. It'll be a real eye-catcher!

Nice work

Lovely work Micha. I love the way you made that NOS bottle :worshippy

He he, ghost rider, eat your heart out :D

Hi,

yes guys, NOS must riding on a "Highway to hell"

Here what it looks at the moment:
