What do you think of my Busa?

I feel ya on the ext. arm brah-I flipped mine back in June, and I live in a large city with no real 'twisties' to speak of...have to take a 15-min. trip to get to ride like that.....and at 6'7" I can knee-drag in a corner at 40mph if I felt like it.
Im a straight-liner like yourself, and I just dropped mine 1" front/rear to help with the take-offs, but I am planning on goin longer-not sure if Im going big (240 or wider) on a new arm, or just some extensions and new CF rims...but definitely gonna stretch it out.
I like all your chrome work-but it'd be great if I could see some of it up closer.
sweet bike dude.

Sweet bike. I am not one for the extended swing arm, but I do appreciate looking at those who do have em. A big ole 300 or bigger would look really sweet out back there.
Oh yeah, really love the color too! You gonna chrome that kickstand?

Obviously you have never ridden an extended bike. The Busa's turn fine extended and they handle great too even with a 6" stretch. The biggest problem is dragging parts from being lowered. U-turns? No problem. Yeah, it's alittle me difficult, but you adjust.
Yeah, I have to get a new undertail because I have mine dropped 2 inch in the back and I ate a hole right through my storage compartment. By getting a undertail will that increase the clearance between the tire and plastic? It also scraped everytime I go over a speed bump or out of my drive way, you have to be very careful about how you ride.
i think it is a sharp bike , except for the ext swingarm, but all that matters is if you like it.
Very much to my surprise i found that exact phrase to hold much truth. After reading thread after thread after thread telling me if/when I stretched out the busa I could kiss turns goodbye I found it to not be that accurate. Yes, I am sure taking a 12" stretched Busa @ 50mph through the Tail of the Dragon would be an exercise in suicide, On the street my 4" stretch is not problematic. I don't do Twisities ('cause my b@!!s haven't dropped) but regular street riding (leaving 1/4 to 3/8" chicken strips on the rear tire) the bike does just fine.
nice looking ride
Here is a picture at MAW, a local track we have here. It's only a 1/8th mile though so that sucks. I run right around a 6.60, though that was with out the extended arm. I have not tested it yet though I will. I should be faster but I am always afraid of flipping it or losing it so that's why I extended it.
