Hayabusa lowered

[big kev]

I had my Busa lowered today.

I got the front dropped about 1 inch and then had a Soupy's block riser installed, so I can ride in a slightly more upright position. It is a lot easier on my back!

The rear has has Soupy's turnbuckle-style lowering links installed.

The whole bike is now way closer to the ground. It feels like I'm sitting on a 600, with my feet now flat on the ground.

My only concern is that the rear may be a little bit too low, as the belly-pan scrapes over speedbumps, etc. I'm planning to fit a 190/55 tyre on the rear, which will return the Busa back to near it's stock height at the back, so that should sort out any scraping issues.

Overall, I haven't lost too much cornering clearance and the bike feels much more stable with a lower C.o.G. The handling seems to have become lighter, too.

Has anyone else lowered their weapon?

i dumped my BUSA 1" not a problem at all
