damn...all these poor tail sections getting reduced to nothing...and I am searching to enlarge my trunk space.... lol
No, not really. That is an option though, not one I liked as it required too much cutting for my taste. Stainless though.
As for the lowered rear suspension, if it's actually lowered significantly your looking at buying new dog bones or adjusting the bones you have to return it to it's original ride height. Otherwise if the collar has been spun up to the top on the shock all thats really been done is remove all the pre-load.
Easy enough to fix, you need a spanner wrench or a drift and hammer, and a way to unload the rear suspension. With the rear unloaded, loosen the top nut on the shock and just start cranking your spring down. Your Looking for 183mm from the center of the bottom coil to the middle of your adjustment ring. That's the stock setting and good place to start.
Welcome to the board.

Actually high quality tin snips, a couple of metal files, and some medium sandpaper works like a champ too. Wouldn't have thought of it myself except there were some snips at hand when I was removing more of my tail, worked great.

PM StreetnTrack and/or GoldenChild. They are site sponsors and can hook a brutha up!So just yell at me if I should start using the search buttone but why when i have all these quick answers
I would like to get the clear turns for the front. Where is the best place to get them at? Also What do people do with the rear turns? Fender eliminator?
Welcome to the board. I too live in da couve. If you would like I could come over and help adjust the suspension if needed. Golden Child is a good source for busa parts new and used. His shop is down in Canby, so local for some of us. As for the rear fender, I used a dremel and file on my Bandit. PM me if you have any questions.
