I took the Busa out to Buttonwillow a few months back. On the last turn.. Sharp left... I kept scraping my peg soo bad I took the fucken feeler off!. I noticed the feeler on the left side is so much longer than the right side.

After taking off the feeler I was leaning the bike much more...

Did not scrape anything after that.. but was afraid of scraping the plastics as I was so low.

Fun stuff...

Plan on going to Willow Springs next month. I hope to scrape my knee!



Hey.. your in SoCal too... We should ride.

There are a few of us down here in So Cal Royz. CB and I are hoping to hit Buttonwillow this year too. I went twice last year and I just love that track! It would be nice to go before it gets too hot, but we may have to wait until fall when it cools down again. Also, CB is pretty much the local ride pimp, so keep your eyes peeled for his posts!

hehe the swingarm looks terrible!

good job and ditto on get some suds on er.

what grinder??

 

[Lamb busa]

You haven't cleaned that thing since our ride in Feb.!? Nice job on the peg scrapage though, hard to believe knowing how hard you ride! Peace out!

I changed my pegs out on my R6 back in the day to keep them from dragging in everycorner. I have a pair of boots in my closet from back in those days where the soles are worn off at the toe area from dragging as well. My question are yall doing this on stock tires or stickies? I really wouldn't want to go anywhere past the feelers if I was on stock ####, they just don't have the grip. Stickies on the other hand I will push a bike over until my knee drags.

Good job! Be careful you maniac!
No time to wash the bike since you've been riding so much.

I agree, stock tires are too hard.

I use Dulop208s, Metzler M1s, Pilot Powers, Diablo Corsas, etc.. whichever running a better deal.

I don't run track tires since its very hard to warm them up on tight roads and they're not cheap.

Charlesbusa, remove them with a good quality wrench (box end to be safe). You should see that they're slightly bent now. Hence, you'll need a good quality wrench (snap-on, Matco, MAC, Cornell, etc....) to not round it.
