Fabr dont need no Busa's, he is going V8.  The ins salvage stuff if close enough.  You can crank, cant drive since the front wheel is wraped to rear, but still put in gear and do a burnout. rofl rofl

Just trying to be more observant, these guys dont miss nothing.

Gonna start calling you Carlriddle Bourne.  ;D

I don't know yet.  :(  I need to get on getting an engine asap!  Is Ebay my friend?

I would like to get one that is complete with the gauges for that bike/motor, etc.  I am not to excited about ordering a "complete" motor kit that shows up with a tangle of wiring harness and tubes and hoses that hooked up to god knows what.  I just wonder for the first time if I need to buy a complete bike so I know I have everything and can see how it works together.

I just don't enjoy the idea of trying to track down parts after buying a "complete" kit.  Am I worrying about it to much?
I was just asking as I see a permanent cross brace above th e engine bay.
 IMO you can get a fair deal on ebay buting busa engines if you demand lots and lots of pics of the engine including well lit inside pics of each intake port and each exhaust port all the way to the valves.Also most of the guys are fairly honest but also demand close up pics of all included hardware. Demand close up pics of all harness connectors and do not buy if the instrument cluster plug or either of the ecm plugs are broken. Costly to get replacements at best,impossible at times. Buying without a good instrument cluster as there are plenty of good ones available separately. Also try to buy within driving distance and do an off ebay deal in person. I've never been turned down as the seller can get asking price and save ebay and paypal fees. I usually save some bux as the buyer also as the seller is willing to deal a bit. If you get all the pics including the engine numbers and run the numbers through local PD you're safe.

BTW,IMO  you'll pay approx 2500 bux buying a complete busa engine "kit" less guage cluster on ebay and if it has road rash on either side cover it's a good  bet it's a good engine from a downed bike. should be fine. On the other hand,no rash means DO NOT BUY unless you know for sure the history of the bike. IMO .

 :o Wow  :o  Did you'll not eat?   Perfect example of spending years to plan months to build, unlike my months of plainning and years to build.
