DO NOT use the T-rex's on the Busa!

I have a set of T-rex's and they are fine for what they are. I turned a few people into T-rex customers because they were looking for a bargain.

That said, you get what you pay for:

My front T-rex is the convertible one. I can't remove the front axle unless I lift from the lower triple. I have bent two of the pins and broken another one over the last two years. This is on a 675 in race trim. I'd imagine your Busa is a bit heavier.

The rear stand is not a one piece unit like the Pit Bulls. It bolts together, so while you don't have to worry about the stand itself bending, the bolts can become loose and the threads become wallowed out. The adjustable pieces that actually touch the swing-arm have bent slightly. Again, much lighter bike.

In short: big, heavy, pretty bike = spend the coin and get the Pit Bulls.
