see, this is the stuff that makes me feel safe, really. Inconsistencies in our airport security.

For example:

I never ever ever take my Sony e-reader out of my bag, just my laptop. In the many many airports I have flown out of, it's never been a problem... until Jacksonville. THEY make me take that, plus my cell phone out of my bag. Um, yeah. Inconsistency.

Well you have ridden one before, right? Or at least sat on one? lol

Nice looking ride, but not only has he changed front & rear spring rates, but he added an aftermarket dogbone too. So you have no idea how it's gonna ride. What is the weight difference between him & you? I've bought a couple bikes from people who customized their suspension, and riding it home was a horrible experience......Complete pogo stick, lol.

RACER X · 08-31-2009, 01:30 PM

yes i've ridden a busa before

within 10-15lbs of each other.

$2k akra full exhaust
heli bars
S.S. brake lines
+ labor to do springs...........cha ching........having had it done before on the VFR

+ a road trip across the SE part of the country, priceless..........lol

It's bad enough when someone 'customizes' the suspension for their weight. Finding out that someone tossed $2K+ at their suspension and ended up with something worse than stock.....

What was the 1" rise dogbone for? I mean, if he installed heavier springs for his weight, he shouldn't have had to raise it with a dogbone. Unless maybe he wanted quicker turn-in or something......But I would check a Busa forum to see if that's actually a common mod.

RACER X · 08-31-2009, 01:43 PM

on a busa, the common mod is lowering it........lol

Buy the tool there.

It sucks that the planes are aluminum, or else you could play "Lets see if the magnetic tank bag can hold on at 560mph".
