Has anyone instaled a wider wheel and tire on the rear of their Busa?
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.
I wanted to upgrade to a 200 instead of the 190 and he said for street use it was a bad ideawhen 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......![]()

Flash Gordon, check out <a href="http://www.18889chrome.com">CSC<a> for the 240 kit. They are a site sponsor and give a board discount on some items.
If it's show you want then go with this one.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.![]()
