Unless you still have the blobs at the ends of the standard pegs.
I think they will bottom out.
Just take those warning blobs off or add GSX1100 pegs to it.
Have them on mine and no issues although they are a bit small.
another peg scraper :)
just cut the pins down so they are shorter
my left peg had worn down a fair bit
Jes i put the pegs on from my old srad and that seems to help, but still getting a wee scrape on real tight corners. oh well, onwards and upwards!
that's why i'm asking around, i was sooo surprised., I think the previous owner must have made some mods - he was a tall fella.
meh, I still love it,

Hey mate, thanks!
Yeah I'm still getting used to the busa cornering after enjoying my gsxr750, it not as agile but the torque makes up for the fun factor. awesome machine.
Good of you to say hi.....

No worries LisaB Aus is a big place especially when your on the other side, there is also a growing support group of the Busa over here as well.
USA well that's a long way from home definately plenty of water between the 2 countries.
I will have to disagree with you on the agile part when it come to the Busa as I had a GSXR 1100 and that feels like a tank compared to the Busa but oh yes the brute power is oh soooo much fun

I have always had a soft spot for the 750's they are such a good bike in all respects and to a certain degree the power is more usuable but what do they say....
POWER - Power Corrupts, Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.. hence that's why we are riding Busas now and falling in every time we look at the bike or ride it...

Aha! I knew it couldnt just be me - I refuse to think im the only one this crazy! Although my shrink argues with me about that
I might just keep the srad then - or is that just greedy

I went Satos cos I had them on my 2 prev ZX10 (and current ZX10 - sold this arvo actually - yes I like ZX10s!) I love Sato but thats my own pref - I think they offer good adjustablilty, they are nice and high (but as I said above I now scrape the fairing!) look awesome and not everyone has them - most seem to go Vortex or (Gillies which I think are over priced) Votex I rekon are cheap and not as good quality but everyone to thier own.
Nothing wrong with having multiple bikes Lisa - until recently I have 4 most of the time as they all are for different purposes; 1 for going fast in teh dirt, 1 for goiing fast on the back wheel, 1 for going fast on teh twisties and 1 for going fast at very high speeds .... ok fine they are all for going fast but I love them all for thier different qualities :)
