I agree, going up in the rear is my preference over one down on the front. I myself run a 43 tooth steel sprocket on the rear. It shortens the wheel base by about 3/8 of an inch and makes a completely different machine of your busa. The cheapest forward thrust you can buy at less than $60.
Buy yourself a 43 tooth rear sprocket, install that puppy on the hub, torque the sprocket bolts to 42.5 lbs and you are on your way. I'd recommend a speedohealer as well. With a 43 tooth sprocket adjust the speedohealer to 8.5% minus and your speedo will be awfully close to accurate.
I just purchase an 06 busa a couple of months ago. My buddy bought one just like it within a week. I installed a 43 tooth sprocket and his was left stock. We went on a weekend trip a month after we bought the bikes and every time we fueled up I'd take about two tenths less fuel than him. So dropping the gearing with a 43T rear, may even improve your fuel mileage?
