You guys are funny.
I don't make it a habit to agree with Pat, but for once he has several good points!
Just this time tho.
You guys that have never done it don't have a clue what you are talking about, so just say what you KNOW.
It can go something like this.
I've never done it, BUT.................
OR,
It was on the internet, so it's true..........
You know, something we can atleast laugh at.
Then we have at least 2 different guys on this thread with stretched and lowered bikes.
Now, if you are gonna ruin a Busa by removing 1 disc, because they already don't stop well enough.
Don't you think the same applies for lowering and stretching a Busa that doesn't handle in the twisties like a GIXXER??
Ohh, I wouldn't lower and stretch a Busa, it won't turn anymore.........
OK,
Here's my point. We all live and ride in different environments.
You guys that use your Busas in the mountians for the twisties, we don't tell you that you shouldn't lift your bike and shorten the wheelbase.
I personally think that's the dumbest thing you could do with a Busa, but it's yours. Have fun with it.
You just completely disabled it for drag or land speed racing. You wanna rail, get a GIXXER!!
Not everyone gives 2 shits about the twisties or racing thru LA traffic during rush hour.
You guys that say if you remove 1 disc, you loose half of your stoping power.
GET REAL..........
It's not like 50 + 50=100. It's just NOT that simple.
By that reasoning, if you have a 160hp Busa that will go 180mph on top end,
you can install a turbo that makes 320 hp and run 360mph on top end.
GOOD LUCK with all of that happening!
Take it from someone that has done it to several Busas.
You WILL loose stoping power.
Your brake lever is much stiffer than before,
but you can STILL skid your front tire on cement.
How much more stopped does that front wheel have to be???
FWIW,
I'm just raggin you guys.
I've had short Busas, and long Busas. Dual discs and single discs.
It's all about what YOU want to do...............
