300 section rear end versus 240???
#1
OK - I know a heap of you guys are going to tell me just how crap the busa will go around corners with a 300 rear tyre, but I really want to get the low down on this one. My plan is to go FAT. Unless someone is going to tell me that it is UNRIDABLE with a 300+ rear end I want shock value & I will trade handling for shock. I know the 240 still rides OK & I have ridden bikes with 240+ but not 300+. Has anyone in Oz got or ridden a busa or any jap sports bike with a 300 rear tyre. & letâ€s not worry about any HD fat ass rides as they will not help in answering this ???? By the way - this bike is going to be used for a "pub bike" so to speak & not intended as a daily rider. I say that but I know I will still want to put some K's on it anyway.

Cheers.

Anybody???

I'd love tho hear from an Aussie with a similar mod as it is easier to communicate local. I may have to go to the US sites for this one though it seems.

300 should be good for a straight line & also no need for a side stand also I guess.
Sorry never seen one there are a few 240 getting around but

Log onto something like extreme Busa in the states and see if anyone there has an answer. I'm sure you could get to a pub and back on it.

+1 on bear - ask around at EBC. There's bound to be someone who's got one. Then again, those who have them will defend their rideability to the hilt coz no-one else will. Lol3

if ya go the 300 go the single side arm i reckon that is the only way to go as for riding i guess it wouldnt be any worse than a Harley with a 300 rear would it

Yeah - I am checking things out at ECB & also .org. There is a joint in Mentone Vic called Bike Craft. I saw them at the MotoGP a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure that they may be able to help with the single sided swingarm as that is what I'd like to do. I think I'm kidding myself if I expect a safe ride out of it. I'll just have to hang on for the ride on each corner. At least it wonâ€t be a boring ride. I'll be bug eyed keeping her in line. I'll keep you guys posted on what I find out.

There was a mob called HELL TEAM at the bike show that had a wide rear conversion. Also try a vic mob called Bikecraft (03)95852100 bikecraft.net.au they were at the gp with a single side conversion on a gsxr. Good luck and dont forget heaps of picciesPi_thumbsup

Finding out a bit more as time goes on. Bikecraft sell the Roaring Toyz 240 SSS (Single Sided Swingarm). If I want to go to 300 or 330 it will have to be a conventional style swing arm with a jack shaft. Bikecraft look like they use Roaring Toys again for these. McIntosh & Trac Dynamics look like they do them also. Can anyone suggest the best of these or others?

Correct - The cops will not like this mod at all...............

What the H, maybe I should just go the whole hog - 330.....

Check the below link out. This is what I have in mind. It's a good read.

This mod does not have a name, how about the Nyngan to bourke 240 mod or how does the Nullabor 300 mod sound?

Thanks xhiler8r. Now that is what I'm after. That 330 sss is the nuts guts. Has anyone purchased off CSC before? Is there an Aussie contact?

i would be guessing that most of the custom harley guys would be a good place to start as they have the contacts overseas when it comes to these 330 kits otherwise hit glen up from Thunder composites he might know a friend of a friend
