Well Ms. Rose, I'll share some very important info that hasn't been mentioned as of yet. Stretching and lowering your busa does nothing for you other than visual appeal and making you feel a bit more stable with both feet flat at stop lights.
After a number of years as an instructor teaching folks how to safely go fast and improve their skills and confidence, I can tell you without a doubt, you will never become more than a mediocre rider at best with your bike altered in this manner.
My advise is to learn to ride what you have. Trim the seat and you will gain an inch. If it's absolutely necessary, add another half inch to your boot soles and you'll be just fine. With solid instruction you'll be spanking every lowered and stretched bike in the community and will be a topic of conversation among all your friends. Otherwise, you'll just be another cutie on curb candy.
One other thing to keep in mind, someone said a bike that's been altered by lowering is no more dangerous than stock? I'll just say they may not be more dangerous but they certainly aren't as safe!
