Busa Motor in a GS . . .

[Gilmoses]

There are a lot of fabricators on here. Have any of you thought of doing it? If I half way knew how to weld, I would atleast make an attempt at it, so it could be critiqued. I already figured it would need to be more sturdy, redo the bottom side of the tank, instead of the top frame going straight down the middle, it would need to loop out. . . The more I think about it, it would become a deep well of a money pit . . .But it was just a thought . . .

Cheaper and easier to just use a shotgun.

Wouldn't it be easier (and cheaper) to weld on some tabs to adapt GS bodywork to the 'Busa frame?

Why..........?

I saw one that certainly looks like someone has done it to a Katana. Even has a turbo system. It is on Katman's website. http://www.robwilton.com/gallery/katana_gallery.html Scroll through the gallery pic's and you will see, its all black with a low mount turbo.

This is a GS Chassis with a stock busa engine. He just got it together at the end of the season.

Looks like the fender hits the rear tire

prolly be cheaper, not sure how much easier cutting up body parts will be. . . but will be waaay more obvious, concidering most guys now don't even know what a gs motor is supposed to look like, unless they have been involved with them. . .

Either way, not sure what all is involved either way. . . .

Then you would have a slow Busa by Busa standards.

busa mtr in a stk gs? where is the radiator going? im sure youll need a oil cooler, and the handling would suck

[Gilmoses]

Yes a Busa motor in a GS frame... If able to get the motor in the frame, oil cooler and radiator will be able to figure out. . . As far as handling goes, will be using traditional choices for drag racing applications. Because thats what the bike will be used for. . . .

He runs the regular Saturday Points program on a GSXR for a couple years now. He built the bike to try and keep up with a couple of us running in the low to mid 9's. His GSXR is custom and pretty heavily modified also.
