Brusa Kustom Finish

By Jerry Washington

There are no internal modifications of the engine and a single external with a set of Yoshimura headers.   The most intensive work was done to the chassis.  First the stock swing arm was replace with a 8” stretched & polished to high luster Trac Dynamics club foot 300 swing arm kit.  The kit includes a 300ml/60/18 rear tire from Avon, resting on 18 X 10.5 RC Component – Daytona Forged rear wheel.  Up front a RC Component 17 X 3.5 wheel again with an Avon tire. Vortex rear foot sets polished Laser cut wave rotors engraved with Hayabusa were added to the front and rear of the bike and a chrome rear sprocket

After three months of search we found an eight-inch stretch tail section to compliment the extended swing arm.  UFO style Taillights were added with turn signals integrated. Chrome oil and clutch covers compliment the engine with visibility heighten when we notched the right side fairing, chrome shift and break levers, chrome Billet throttle handles and clutch break lever.  A Chromed Trac upper & lower triple tree with Kanji symbols on the chrome billet triple tree covers.  Crown all this off with a chromed Hayabusa ignition key.

After experiencing difficulty getting a color match of the stock paint I decided to paint the bike another color.  Apple Candy Red from Hot Hues was selected.  The bike was then refinished and coated with a base coat of Cosmetic Dust, and two-coat overlay of Apple Candy Red followed by two coats of clear to finish the skin. The faring is painted and follows the inside of the bike around the tank and into the dash area. The calipers were then painted candy apple to match the body along with bolts on the clutch and oil covers rear pegs, axle covers, break & clutch master solenoid and reservoir, and assorted bolts. These items added an excellent high light look to the overall appearance of the bike.

The front folks were chromed and lowered two inches.  A  “Tricky Air Ride” shock was added to the rear.  This allows the bike to take on a really mean look both while ridding and especially when the rear is lowered while the bike is parked!

A custom chrome Bezel dashboard with Darkstar Speed-Glo gauges and Sportech Chrome windshield adds to the look I want, two colors chrome and Red!  I was very interested in keeping my stock gas cap and since I did not want to chrome it or replace it with a chrome cap we painted it to match the tank (note allowing the bolts to stay polished).  After much discussion we made the change on the exhaust system by removing the Yoshimura can and placing a megaphone at the end of the exhaust collector.  The sound is awesome!

Great job Mike!
