Raising the rear!

[Racer 222]

Thanks to 200hp I will have the dog bones to raise the rear. Then I will get a new top for the triple tree and lower the front. That will about do it. Since I see Thinker62 and Cache warming up for the Laguna Seca rides I better get my butt in gear or I will left behind.

Brennanop we will have to get together for a ride before we head up there!

Hope the thing doesn't flip over forward under hard braking.

Glad I could help

HA! that would just make for a really cool stoppie!!

Should be OK! I am using the Hayabusa Extreme race bike as a rough guide. I should be OK. I will test it out at the track in a couple of weeks.

Definately let me know about that. I am anxious to make my bike rail.

Where can I get a set of these dog bones to raise the rear of my bike?

 

[mooter]

Suzuki sv650 dog bones fit just fine! $45 plus some sweat!

 

[fstbusa]

dogbones are easy to install....just a couple of hydraulic jacks and an hour and your done....

Howlin,

When are you riding Laguna? I am in the Keith Code class on Nov 3 at Laguna.

What about a good photo of the whole bike to show us how it looks in profile - I get fed up with all the other homey miami stretched stuff on this site - what a waste of a bike to drag it !

Well did you ever test it out at the track? How was it? Did is upset the front end? Did you lower the front?

what if any affects would raising the rear have on top speed? Would it be a lower top speed or would handling be affected?

 

[mark_ckr]

This busa has definetly been raised in the rear probably
about 2". Makes me wished I had raised mine 2" instead of just 1".

 

[mark_ckr]

This is mine raised 1" in the rear.

Mark how greatly does it affect the turn-in? I hear it does wonders... Please list your likes/dislikes. Thanks, Bill

Sorry guys don't post here much anymore. The rear raise shortens the wheel base which has two effects on the bike.
(1) She will wheelie a little easier so be careful off the line
(2) Turn in is faster. Combine that with a 180/55 tire and your cooking.

For the record I don't own a busa anymore I have a Honda 600 that I currently race with CCS. If you have any other questions please feel free to email me and I will do my best to respond promptly.

Looks great Mark! Nice Busa...
