Will a 5.5 inch rear wheel make much of a difference? - pan - 07-07-2009
The stock Busa wheel is 6 inches wide...
Will the 5.5 (TLR's have them, I think), make it handle better or worse?
Thinking about it for my track bike Busa...

Are you looking for improved "tip=In?" should do so, I take it you have already dropped the steering head through your tripple trees?

Yeh, dropped the front, but fairings started scraping. I really need to stiffen up the front springs!
I've also raised the back and raised the front again; will go a little higher in the back soon...

You have tried the 190/55 profile first?
Not too sure about going for factory wheels that were designed to handle lesser strains than a Busa can subject on them, purely for track it should be ok.
