Wider rear wheel

[Flash Gordon]

Has anyone instaled a wider wheel and tire on the rear of their Busa?

[wolfe]

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......

Check some of the shootout tires/wheels available. I assume your goal is drag-racing here.

Start here:

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?

[FAsT Boy]

OK... I just red that you are looking for BLING. So, that would be perfect for you. It is quite expensive though, I think it was around $3500, but thats nothing to a Busa owner right.

Trac Dynamics makes a 240 kit, C&S Customs make a 300 kit.

Trac Dynamics has a 300 tire kit also.

#### you should go with a 360 mm ! then you dont have to do the kickstand mod !

saw a 240 conversion kit on ebay think its more than goin turbo though?

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.

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.

Ditto!

I have a 200 Pirelli Diablo also,it fits and feels great!

[outlawed]

well i have seen i think on custom sport bike concepts a 260 mm rear end custom. With single sided swing arm they dont have a price on it but ill be dam if i can get a price i would probably get it lol.

[johnstein]

i think the money shot busa in daytona had a 360 mm!

[paulos]

i recon its a could be for a 240

[Busa Bill]

Just got thru putting on a Avons 200 on the rear ,looks good and feels good .

good luck bro

[frisbee]

A 200 fits just fine , and Every bit extra of tire on the ground helps with traction
