Hey Marty, Do you think your wife will like riding it as much as the busa? My wife love to ride and the BK just does not look that comfy back there. I like the rest of it
I think she'll like riding the B-king alot better than the Busa.
The passenger seat is level with the ground, it doesn't slant forward.
It also has a raised thicker front on it.
She won't be hunched forward or sliding into me.
There is more leg room. Alot more, since the previous owner flipped the passenger peg brackets/peg mounts to the opposite sides.
Instead of being swept back at an angle over the swingarm(like a gsxr); they are now pointing straight down, and much lower and further forward.
Look closely at the pics of mine and compare it to another B-King and you'll see what I mean.
I sat back there with the bike on the kickstand, and it's really comfortable.
I'm wondering if given their new lower, more forward position now, that her toes may hit my calves. Looked like they might when I was sitting back there. If so, i'll just put them back the other way.
There's bigger round pegs on it now too, with rubber rings on them for grip and less vibration.
More comfortable than stock, but not great looking.
I put a $23 Tribo gripper seat cover on the Busa passenger seat and it held my wife in place, she wasn't sliding forward on the seat anymore. You could even set your helmet on the passenger seat (on the kickstand) and it wouldn't budge.
I'll be buying one for the B-King.
Her just being able to sit upright comfortably and hold on to me is a big improvement, as opposed to leaning her hands on the Busa gas tank alot of the time. Or leaning on my back(which she trys not to do).
Not having her knees cramped up will help alot too.
She didn't mind the Busa, and she liked it alot better than my gsxr1000 or ZX7ninja.
I think she'll like the B-King alot more.
Take your wife for a ride on it, first warm day she feels up to it.
