Glad we are talking about bikes here. If you apply this statement to the medical field, it will raise a lot of questions.
Easy cheap and clean looking.

I'm running the carbon danmoto on mine until i can get the hmf cans i got from red05 fitted (if i can get them to work) and the danmoto looks and sounds good for just being cheap slip ons. i definitely recommend them

I asked the only shop in town (Kawa and Honda) about adjusting my suspension by he said they dont do much suspension work and he didnt think a Busa would need any adjustment anyway. I'm 5'11" and about 185 so pretty average, is there a ballpark I can see myself or do I just ride until I can get her down to Jax and a better shop?
That guy is an idiot, seriously.
I am 190ish in gear, so I'll be back soon to tell you where I had my gen2 set(I'm at work)
It'll get you in the ballpark, but you'll still need to make small adjustments.

That'd be great Six, thanks. That'll get me close and when I get my permit I'll ride down to Jax and get them to fine tune it.
The "fine tuning" needs to be done by you the rider, on the road side.
As in, set compression, rebound, and preload, then go rail some corners.
Stop, adjust one setting +/- one half to one full click, for compression and rebound.
I no longer have my gen2, and there is a thread still here somewhere with my final settings in it, but I've yet to find it again.
I know for rear preload I had 3 threads visible above the top lock ring when it was tight. 1 or 2 lines visible for fork preload.
Fork compression and rebound were 4 to 5 clicks counter clockwise, from full stop/clockwise.
Rear compression and rebound were 12-18 clicks cc from full stop.
Search for Jinkster attacks suspension.
He has a great sag setup with pictures and instructions.
After it's close, that's where the half click of rebound, or 2 clicks of compression cleans things up.
Basically you're setting the suspension so it transfers as little motion as possible into the frame, that the bike just floats over bumps.

It's Tufbusa, help
I don't know how to link the thread but if you search that and use sixpack under member it'll come right up

Thanks man,
I thought that was the name,
but when I searched for it, it wouldn't show up.
Maybe it'll work for the OP

Enjoy your first bike just be careful. I have a story similar to yours and I haven't had a crash other than a couple garage tip overs since buying the ZX-14 and Hayabusa in 2008.

Thanks a lot guys I appreciate the help and the welcome. Is there ever anything like a Busa get together just for owners and members? It'd be nice to meet some local Busa people
There are a few, PA, NC, and a couple out west.

Ahh well that sucks even NC is several hours from me. Daytona only a couple hours and A1A 1 hour so there are nice places to ride.
