IDEAL LOWERING HEIGHT - Flying Finn - 05-04-2012
I bought a lowering kit for my Gen 2 Busa from America.
This particular kit has up to 4 inch lowering capacity.
Now my question is,how low I can go,without compromising normal ride ability?
When I go to drag strip,I can probably go all the way down to 3,or 4 inches,but then it would probably be a pig to ride on public roads?
Have you lowered your busa,if so,how much and how will she behave after that?
Any feedback appreciated.

Your limited by hardware to just how low you can go, the rear will bottom out the top of the swingarm box on the front of the undertail and you will rub the undertail with the tire , so lower it with enough clearance in these areas for suspension movement and your good to drag, but street use and a blast through the hills, better off std or close to it
Oh and lower the front to match the rear , front straps help for drags , better than lowering blocks or aftermarket top tripple covers and sliping the forks throgh

For the road ? 1 1/4" front n back. Just watch your toes and the bottom of your headers
