The long piece coking out of the shock is the hydraulic preloaded adjuster right?Where can this be mounted on a busa?I'm guessing that's what the bracket is for.
You can see the adjuster there above the Yoshi. It is screwed to the foot peg mount. It's accessible even though this photo makes it look tight. It's crazy but people just can't resist playing with it. "What's this?" and then they turn it! When you get it set where you like it back it all the way down and count the rotations so you can easily check it periodically.

OOPS: Didn't see KML's post, same mounting as he did.

I once came out of a restaurant only to find a guy sitting on it and his wife taking a picture! I held back and just asked nicely for him to please get off the bike. Wonder if he knew how close he was to a serious beating?
That's seriously bold to do that....

Don't know where the rest of my post went...I went in to edit it and "poof" the rest was gone..I must have hit the wrong key or something...I was saying once a random person was sitting on my GSXR race bike many years ago and I didn't have to lay a beating as the mechanic did it.

Thanks anyway.I had a guy sitting in my last 13 busa once.I said nothing but my girlfriend says to me 'if you don't tell him I will' so that was that.
People don't understand that it's the same thing as someone sitting in your car.

What is the eye to eye measurement on these? I am looking to see if I can a Bitubo XXZ31 to fit. They are 328-336mm (adjustable)

Does anyone know the Ohlin part number for the longer eye you can add to the SU026 to provide more ride height adjustment?
