Lowered the BUSA....before/after PICS

hotmustang331 · Oct 7, 2008

Well FINALLY got around to doing some mods to the busa.....I have always wondered why mine never looked up to snuff. So I did a few things to it to help out the looks

Before....back when I first got her. Also before I got a decent camera

This last one sucks...but gets a good sense for the overall look.

SOOOO lowered around 3 inches total in the rear....1 inch up front, cut off the mudflap, and made that bracket so I had a place for the plate ....will order new LED tail light so I have rear blinkers haha.

Thanks for looking

That pretty much sums it up!!!

WOW!!! Sick bike... Im sure even with a Termi, & a 331 stroker coupe, the Busa would be the biggest adrenaline rush of all.... Looks alot better lowered...

Props for putting a self pic up, because nobody ever does. I was just thinking today that there should be a thread posted up with members pics just because sometimes its good to put an actual face with a name....

Stang|ess · Oct 7, 2008

I was thinking that too. I also noticed the rear tire a little worn there. I'll bet that thing is a beast. I've been thinking of getting a bike for a while now. At 5'7" i don't think i'd be getting a busa though. It looks sick lowered man nice bike

Sure it looks better, but being that low your handeling goes right out the window.

hotmustang331 · Oct 7, 2008

Thanks everyone....im glad you like it

As far as handling goes, I havnt rode it yet but I expect the turn in to be a bit heavier. Only thing is im really trying to get out of going fast through the twisties. The left side of my tire had about a 1/16 inch of untouched rubber, the last time I went toe to toe with a 05 GSXR 600 through some REALLY tight twisties. He couldnt shake me either lol...and hes been riding for about 15K miles (dragging knee and pretty aggressive)....iv had 5K experience most of which highway.
I was pushing it right to the edge...and well after wards I decided that doubling all posted turn advisory signs was a bit dangerous and I wasnt going to do that anymore.

SO with that said, handling isnt a main priority anymore due to my nature.

And we shall see how streeable it is today....ill be taking it out here in a bit

well being a rider myself. i very highly doubt a busa can hang with any 600 on twisties... u guys run out of tire and start riding on the sidewall after leaning so far...and especially with that 3" drop that will def hurt... no offense... but i think busas are overplayed... i will always put my money on a zx-10r over a busa anyday....a 600 dragging knee in twisties would leave ya... i call to hanging with him if he was...

Denise · Oct 7, 2008

looks good I would love to have a busa, but they're a little heavy for me. right now im actually trying to get rid of the 07 750 I have for an 08/09 1000 hopefully financing will come through

Morgstang · Oct 7, 2008
