when i purchased my first busa in '99 my first impression was that it definately required a slightly higher handle bar,,
whilst frantically researching how this could be achieved, i clocked up a few klms and ultimately decided that the busa handle bar setup relative to seating position, was perfect as it was and the riser project was hence scrapped....
i think many new busa owners go through this particular re-adjustment process and conclude similarly, although in some cases a bit later and find that they are removing the risers and trying to resell them
most of the other cosmetic mods mentioned are according to personal taste and i for one, have avoided most cosmetic changes other than adding nickle plated wheels and more recently, some fake bullet holes (which look great),,
i have installed a pair of remus slipons simply because i love the sound of a gruntier sounding machine and they look better than the stockies,,
i love the thrust and not really concerned about the top speed so i have fitted a 43 toother and matching 'did' chain which is far superior to the stockie evidenced by fact that i rarely have to adjust it,,
also replaced the seat with a corbin which i'm very happy with altho it takes a little while to 'run' it in,,
and the only other mod which i have done but is a removable item, is a nicely engineered harley style pillion backrest bolted to the grab-rail,,
still thinking about the gps mod......
cheers
