I got to spend 20 minutes alone comparing an 08'Busa with a B-King.
The BK has black forks and a wicked triple tree set-up that looks like it would be an almost bolt-on deal.

Plus it would give you that cool front fender and different calipers.

The rotors are smaller so you'd have to get GSXR1000 rotors for your wheel.

Hi

New here, first post.

I have a BKing and need new forks. Does anyone have exact measurements and differences between gen2 busa and Bking forks. Are the gen2 and Bking the same diameter at the triples? Or any data on gsxr1000 forks?

i so far have found that gen2s have the 320 rotors which will be problematic swapping onto my Bking. Will bigger rotors and nothing else solve this problem?

Does anyone have any info on gsxr1000 forks? I am led to believe that the diameter of the upper tube is slightly smaller than that of the Bking.

Thanks in advance
Pete

Owning both a B King and a a Gen 1 Busa just from my experience the Busa has the Better Forks. That may just be my relative perception. I am looking forward to new springs and Valves on the B King when the Budget supports it
