Busta, was that built here in Seattle?

Busta Rib 03-04-2012 10:14 PM

Yes, built by a private builder in north Seattle. This was his 4th or 5th bike in his garage.

Already have the expansion chambers which I would think are difficult to find. Keep us posted.

I love the cafe'd 900SS'. If the plastics on my bike ever get destroyed, that would be a cool way to go with the rebuild.

You guys see why I might want to chop the frame right? Look at the rear section. It doesn't lend itself to a very short tail design. I wish the factory had made the rear piece a bolt on.

Ducati of Seattle has a really nice Paul Smart sitting there right now; I was just there, buying belts, brake pads, oil filter, etc.
