The original owner put lowering links on the rear (...)
sorry - only at the rear?

that is a damn bullshi77 because that way you turn the busa´s chassis to a kind of chopper´s chassis with missing of any agility at country roads.
pls

read for the coherences this
page, written by wilbers, at my homepage
and you will correct this lowering a.s.a.p. i suppose
length of the original dog bones is 119-120 mm middle of hole to hole
put in shorter with 109-110 mm middle of hole to hole and you will guess you got another bike
then to top this feeling to more agility drop the busa´s front 15 mm down
plus a superbike bar with 760 mm wideness
and your feeling will be as if you got a 180 kg lightweight bike at all c. roads
without any loosing of stability even at highest speeds far behind 250 km/h / 150 mph .
my ´00 is steerable with only two fingers round nearly any corner - no more strength/power is required.
and
the possibility of avoiding an obstacle by higher agility is increased considerably - the safety when driving increases considerably.

I just ordered the Brocks stand from Schnitz Racing, got a set of those EBC sintered HH pads y'all keep talking about. I know I'm new but there's been a couple of times lately that I've wished for better brakes"
front brakes bad feelings / spongy at a gen1?
then using HH pads?
my experiences with dozens of older bikes and original discs tell me - b.f.a.p. = biggest fault as possible !
the HH only eat your discs and you won nearly nothing.
with HH pads your original discs last for ~ 20-25 000 km then you got em down under the min of 4.5 mm
(single exception - the manufacturer of the new? disc say HH / semi sintered pads are tested fine for this discs)
my hint was:
put the tokico calippers into pieces and clean em deeply - see
here what i found 6 month ago at a ´99 gen1 - pure horror

then take the ebc organic (fa188), let em take "the form" of your used discs by softly pulling and releasing the lever for around 2-4 miles and then .....

and the organic let your discs live lot longer - i would say around 60 000 km depending on the style you ride
