I can't think of a better reason to park the SN95 outside than these!!!

Sweet toys man. :nice: I'll be more than willing to give the busa a nice home...:D

I want a busa in the worst way. Sold my 900RR to get one but it didn't happen. I just finished helping my buddy install a turbo kit on his 06 busa. Even with an extension, she still comes up at 115mph and leave rubber at 130mph.

353 horse and 219 lbs of torque @ 18 psi boost

I've only rode my bike like 1 day just around town LOL. I love it. It's old and fast i haven't seen any like it around here. Only thing is I wish it was lighter. I've had it lean over half way and hit stuff my 66 stang being one thing and it was all I could do to life it back up. if it ever goes the whole way down I'm screwed and if it lands on me I'll prolly be crushed. And I'm not a small week guy either

Its all about center of gravity. Thats why sport bikes are harder to ride... that Harley Fat boy I rode was much easier to ride then the R6, even though it was 400 pounds heavier. All the weight is 5 inches off the ground, where on a sport bike its 2 feet or more off the ground. Plus, you're sitting on top of a sport bike where you're sitting "in" a cruiser, if that makes sense?

I'm only 5'7 170 and can handle a fat boy with ease.... but when my roomate had to load the r6 onto a trailer, he and I just lifted it up. It only weighed 320 pounds! Try that with a Harley!

Did you ever look at the hockey puck type things that you can put on the sides of the bike so that if you lay it down it rests on those? It gives you like a inch and a half more room on each side plus it saves you from buying new plastic if something happens.

Frame sliders are nice for new riders who 'tip' the bike over. That's about it.

If you have a cruiser, a set of crash bars can help quite a bit on a tip-over.

I don't care who you are or how good you are. If you're riding these bikes the way they should be riden going down is not a matter of if...it's a matter of when. I have seen frame sliders save people a lot of money in damages they would have had otherwise.

Justin, what type of sliders were they using and were these just low-side laydowns?

I'm just curious. I've never seen them save a whole lot on a bike but guys here don't lay down and slide indefinitely. Your friends might use more pick-up points than I'm used to seeing though.

Depending on the how they mount, frame sliders can save you alot of money on plastics. They work the best when thier mounted directly to the frame. If they mount on a braket, just reinforce the bracket so it doesn't collapse during the impact. They "will not" do anything if the bike starts to tumble and flip head over heals. But if it just gets laid down, you better believe you'll have some extra cash in your pockets after repairs.:nice:

My buddy went down on his TL1000R at 50mph. He laid it down on the left side and the frame sliders kept the plastice from cracking. Although they were scratched, but not cracked.

yeah, those things are long...but it's a damn good thing they are. I could only imagine trying to control that beast with a short wheel base .... no sir. A bike with almost as much power as my car.... that's another no sir haha

That thing is a beast!!! He keeps throwing me the keys, but I refuse to ride it anywhere except to move it the garage.

badstang123, I couldn't imagine having that many toys. If I started in the morning, it would probably be nightfall before I picked the one to ride for the day...:rlaugh:

A friend of mine laid down his 06 cbr 600RR with frame sliders (going way to fast). Slid 80ft on the frame sliders grinding them down quite abit. It ended up taking out a power pole to stop it. The plastics and exposed parts of the motor were scratch and crack free!
(the rest of the bike was totalled... bike vs power pole , what do you expect)
