Nice one Kev, thanks for taking the time and effort to creating these vids, I enjoy all things Hayabusa..( I have a Gen 1 ‘99 model) and I also have changed the OEM bars to after top yoke with Renthal bars. So much easier to ride, for an old Kiwi it’s a big help! Keep posting vids and technical info, and post up some track riding too! You ride well mate.
Thanks mate for the encouragement! As you know, making the videos takes a lot of time and so many technical issues but I think I may have reached that turning point where the videos are getting easier to make. I find I never stop buying gear. Or changing settings. Wind noise/audio has been the most difficult thing, I delete so much footage because I hate it. Yes, I considered the Renthal type of bar conversion but kind of chickened out and went for a in-between set up. I'm glad your top yoke mod was a success! As for the track days, yes but when I sort out new better brake pads and better tyres for that sort of use. I've reached the limit of what I was using before.....Oh! And look after that '99, they are worth a bit of money for sure.
I'm 58 and got a top yoke conversion on my K6GSXR 1000 with rizzoma straight bars , still weight on the front but more comfy,, and no bodywork mods ,,,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland
I always found the bars took the edge off of comfort and control (when using it as a sport bike). Your mods look like they'll be a great improvement. How much have you reduced the overall weight of your silver Busa ? Your videos keep making me want another Busa !
Yes, I agree. The standard bars are good for getting your chin on the tank at the drags or high speed runs but a bit more leverage in the corners and slightly more of an upright seating position is what I'm after. I did weigh the silver busa many years ago but I would be guessing now of what the weight was so I will redo that and make a video of it. Good idea, thank you.

Interesting 🎉👍🏻

You are a natural mechanic/engineer/technician.
Thanks mate. All I need now is money and time 😂

Good to hear you could squeeze the new handlebars under the fairing/screen. Yes, the K6 is a great bike.
