Young, green, redneck engineer here. If I opt for the starter/ring gear above would I simply replace the two (2) driveshafts and reverse box with a single driveshaft for my Megabusa? My kit hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know what angles I am working with between the reverse box, engine, and rearend.

The suggestions above are helpful, but how do I go about insuring my Megabusa for track use as well as street use? Would I have to get a separate rider to cover that, or a separate insurance altogether?

Thanks for the information, Tom. I guess I'll call the salvage yard and purchase those items. Another question comes up, how do I calibrate the speedometer for the rear axle assembly if I want to use the Hayabusa dash? An alternative would be a digital dash or autometer speedometer that is calibrated in a standing mile.

I'm trying to get my salvage motor running in the garage without the kit. Do I need the gauge cluster, handlebar switch, and keyswitch to get this thing running? Does the Westfield kit come with any wiring? I know the brochures say "wiring loom", but one had mentioned a fuse block as well. Does the Megabusa kit come with any gauges? Should I purchase the 13" race wheels & tires with the kit, or should I shop around the states for the wheels/tires?

Great site you all have here. I am about to take the plunge and purchase a Westfield Megabusa kit from Manik LLC. I found a 2005 'Busa engine, harness, ECU, radiator, oil cooler, airbox, etc. for $3000 in Texas. The engine just turned over 8k miles. I'll order the kit the first of August and it should arrive in Louisiana approximately 12 weeks later. I checked out the Frappr map and it seems the Texas folk are the closest to me. Maybe I can make a meet sometime soon. I did view a few prime Westfield examples at the Carlisle show a few years back. Beautiful cars! Anyhow, I'm going to spring for a triple black, full FIA rollcage, LSD, and a few other options for my future roadracing beast. Any current owner feedback would be appreciated.
