Has anyone instaled a wider wheel and tire on the rear of their Busa?
Wider rear wheel
- Thread starter Flash Gordon
- Start date
I talked to my dealer who himself own and drags a Busa.
I wanted to upgrade to a 200 instead of the 190 and he said for street use it was a bad idea
when you lean into a corner the front sidewall hit pavement before the rear. so when the rear sidewall hits the pavement it wants to skip the rear end of the bike out.
On the drag strip that little extra width doesent really help it still spins all the way into fourth gear..
Hope that help's......

Thanks for the feed back, what I want to achive is more for show. I really dont get in to the turns so much just strait-lining top end runs. I just think the rear looks like a body builder with chickin legs. I would like to fit a 220+ tire.
If you go to e-bay motors under parts and accessories and search for Hayabusa there are about 20 pages of mods that pull up. Some where in there is a 240 rear conversion kit (with ext swingarm). The company has a website of there own and it seems pretty legit. Are you looking for speed of just bling?

Trac Dynamics has a 300 tire kit also.
Wolfe, just to add to your info on this your stock rear tire is 198 or essentially a 200. No real change if you put a 200 on the rear. I have a Pirelli Diablo 200 on mine and have no problems. Others here have done the same. It is better going with a 190 for the twisties, however.I talked to my dealer who himself own and drags a Busa.
