Busa touring "KIT"

[gamli]

Hi there, I want to do some mod on my 2008 Busa to be able to tour on it some 4 weeks.
I'm thinking steering raiser or a new handlebar, changing positions of foot rest (lowering it) and some hard bags. Any suggestions ?

Hey Gamli, Here is what I have done to my bike and it's a huge improvement.

Bar risers from soupys - Soupys motorcycle parts,motorcycle lowering kits, SOUPY'S SINGLE STYLE THREADED LOWERING LINK,SOUPY'S DOUBLE STYLE RAISING LINKS,SOUPY'S KAWASAKI ZX14 LOWERING LINKS,SOUPY'S HORSESHOE STYLE LOWERING LINK,SOUPY'S NINJA 250 FRONT LOWERING KIT,HAYABUSA - cheap and they raise the bars an inch. And the inch makes a huge difference.

Top luggage rack and Givi adapter from twisted throttle - TwistedThrottle.com : SW-MOTECH Alu-Rack Toprack (Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1340R, '08-) for Givi, Hepco-Becker, & Krauser topcases - GPT.05.576.100.B - they also make side racks for the Busa as well.

MRA Vario Touring Screen - TwistedThrottle.com : MRA VarioTouringScreen Windshield for Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1340R, '08- - MRA.05.055.VT - It can be adjusted to put the wind over the top of your helmet for full protection.

Corbin Saddle - Corbin Motorcycle Seats & Accessories | Suzuki GSXR Motorcycles | 800-538-7035 - A must for long distance riding, at least for me.

Only thing left on my todo list is the lowered footpegs from Buell. Search the forums, someone sells a kit.

i was going to say, helibars, buell pegs, zero gravity touring screen, and a corbin seat

Check out the Pashnit site. Tim is a sponsor and touring is what he does for a living. Great guy with plenty of experience. Shoot him a PM

I use the Suzuki touring screen. Works well for the complete comfort package.

I have the Gen-Mar risers, Buell pegs, Corbin Beetle bags and Corbin seat. I tried the ZG double bubble screen but it didn't work well with the Corbin seat. The Corbin seat is a bit lower than the stock seat and the DB directed to much wind on my head.

Don't forget the Throttlemeister or something of the like!!

all the above, except the seat. just wear bicycle shorts under your pants and advil, served me fine for 17hrs in the saddle.

CyclePirates.com - 360 Adjustable Footpeg

These work great, and super easy to change, even mid-ride.

I suggest a light smoke/clear puig screen,helibars,buell peg mod,custom tank(with bladder),matching saddlebags and a custom seat all of which we can do for you..lmk if interested

someone should put together a package deal that includes all that stuff at a steep discount. call it a comfort stimulus...

Yeah... I pretty much do the exact same mods to every bike I own, so a package deal would work for me.

Raised Bars
Touring Screen
Seat
Luggage Rack
Lowered Pegs

Now that the comfort mods are done it's time to get cracking on fabricating my fuel cell

 

[ogre]

why do you need a fuel cell?

 

[TruWrecks]

So he can ride 400-500 miles @ 70 MPH between fuel stops, or one takeoff and re-entry.

 

[jphilipson]

Long distance endurance riding.. with the setup I have on my cbr1100xx I can run 400-450 miles before fueling. Plus it's really nice for riding in remote areas with few fuel stops.

 

[KappaSigBusa]

pegs, helibars, new image seats, beetle bags if you have a lot of extra cash

 

[ogre]

cool. i get maybe 175 to the tank. 4-500 would be nice.

I'll be going with a smaller setup on the Busa than the XX.. so I would expect 300-350 miles between fill-ups.

 

[TruWrecks]

Well, that would mean about 3 more gallons in the auxiliary tank. That would be nice for riding in the desert.
