Just bought my first 'Busa....2006. Looking to lower it. From what I can see, the easiest way, other than rebuilding the forks, is you either replace the upper tree or install spacers for the forks to slide up. Do either have any advantages over the other? Not sure if I like the look of the spacers. Maybe it's the pictures I have seen??

I didn't care for the look of spacers either. I went for the tripple tree

I'll point it out since the others guys are being so helpful where are the pics of the bike.
:rulez: :worthless:
I also went with the triple tree instead of the spacers.

I went with the PMR billet upper triple...I did not want to raise my bars the extra inch. Also did not want to be limited to just a single amount of drop. Mine is lowered 1.25" in the front...2" drop in the back w/soupy's adj links.

I once had Genmar 1.25 inch risers to lower the front but they didn't allow you raise the bike back to stock height. I sold them and bought a lowering triple and it took a week to get use to the different riding position but it gives me more options.

Went with the GenMar risers. They are solid and look like they came from the factory.
