Hi and thanks for reply. I cant remember what pads they was I know I ordered Brembo pads for fast road use so you have now made me think but I was going to change them anyway due to the wet braking problem. in the dry theirs no problem. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the warm hello, nice to know I'm not the only silly bugger on here, I will try the pads out this summer in the wet mine take 2-3 sec's to start really biting and that's can be a good distance depending on speed in fact one second at 60mph is 66Ft a that's massive and that's before...

Now on my 3rd Busa to be honest one of the easiest bikes to ride goes were you point it rock solid at take off speed responds very well to counter steer use the gears for the corners or you can run on easy done on this bike, used to be one of my faults. Because of my age I've fitted Helli Bars...

I mate I'm 71 and ride a Busa the busa is the best bike I've ever owned first you are still a puppy and puppy's can get overexcited I went from a kwaka zzr 1100 best bike they ever made in my opinion so I was used to plenty of power, or so I thought wrong it blow my socks off. The busa is very...

Yes I did call and found out the fitter had just come back to work after serval months off work after a very bad bike accident he was taken out by a overtaking car and had brain surgery. I just hope he his back on track now but he was not ready for work when he worked on my bike. But wish him well.

Last year I had new tyres fitted on the way home I became very aware that my front brake was nothing like it was when I took it in. After arriving home just, I started my investigation to what could be wrong. To my horror I found the spindle 10mm pinch bolt had been tightened up before the main...

Thanks for the welcome I see you have good taste like me A white busa I had to stop my dear father from riding is 125 when he was 63 because he was that slow he was a danger to himself he passed away at 91 people do ask me when will stop riding I say when I don't feel safe at 150 lol and...

Hi thanks for getting in touch have replaced my front pads last year with bremo's and since then the brakes in the wet take about 2 seconds to start to bite not as good as the originals so I will try your suggestion. Thank you Kind regards Mick

That's not me it's my younger brother lol. me really, thanks for the compliment and the welcome, the wife calls me a grumpy old bugger I still don't know if the old bag means it or not. Just enjoy the ride Take care. Regards Mick

Hi my first Busa was an 04 bought second hand in 04 with 1100 miles on it and the much talked about 6 pot callipers it had a slight flat spot at 3000rpm and the dealer could not fix it so I fitted a power commander and tuned it out to perfection the result was stunning exhaust was a much lighter...

Thanks for your interesting reply and yes things have moved on but my bike is not always in it's touring mode the hump is fitted standard busa screen back on and pop my other set of wheels in with some sticky Pirelli corsa's for my fun Sunday runs and can be over 200 miles and if I behave I...

Thank you, yes it's in it's touring form in this pic I was off to France the next day with 2 mates fitted with Helle bars just makes the miles easer, and notice the solar powered plastic Jesus sadly he bailed off at 135 so he didn't complete the trip, you now know your talking to a old...
