I WANT TO DO THE 250 REAR TIRE KIT!!!!!!

[TAZEONE]

I just saw a 250 rear tire kit done on a busa @ bike night tonite and GODDD DANG, it looked stupid sick.
The guy told me, it really didn't hurt the way it rides. I followed him down the street and he was cruising for sure and he leaned into a right turn as I would on my BUS.

he told me, that he can still take it into the canyons, but he def. can't knee drag. He said it still gets up to 150 no problem, but he hasnt taken it faster than that. he was like the rear tire is ZR rated, so it should be able to be steady at 150 + easy.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? DO IT OR DON'T DO IT?
i'm planning on gettin a GSXR 1000 soon to replace my stolen R1

I can have this mod on my bike in 2.5 weeks!

yes or no?

damn it looks sick!

no way.... I agree it looks cool but it limits your top speed due to the rating on the tire AND it costs like $3k to get it done, maybe more.

spend the money elsewhere... like boost or something.

Ok how often are you hitting speeds of 150mph+

If you are not trying to break the 200mph barrier and I think there's only a few trying to do it on a regular basis. I say go for it if you want it.

Heck this addiction we call motorcyclying is about personal choices and personal freedom, and personal satisfaction. Those thing drive us to ride what we ride and dictate the way we ride.

So if it satisfies the need, and you can afford it legally

FEED THE NEED!

BEfore you go ga-ga have you seen the single sided swingarm 250 conversion

I'll post a couple of pics later.

[Krieg]

Definately no way in my opinion

 

[TAZEONE]

okay okay okay,
well deeezy, i'd love to see the single SA conversion

 

[Revlis]

Yeah, if your just going for looks Cool! If your wanting to do anything other than Cruise around probably not the best plan, at least not until someone builds a high performance 250 series rear...

I kicked this idea around last year, decided that it wasn't for me, but I still think it looks wicked, with about a 4 or 6" swingarm stretch. I'd really only do it if I were to set up a second busa just for "cruise night" bragging rights. I really like the way my 40th rides with the stock setup, not sure if I could deal with that big 250 every time out.

go for it, not sure how you planned to get it in 2.5 weeks. rc is 6 weeks out on polished wheels right now. I have 1 kit left with wicked spinning wheels...let me know im just a shout away in Orange County! Jon

 

[1127 TO 1299]

yes for the looks
NO FOR THE RIDING

RIDING IS > THAN looks

but that's only me

 

[BLU88]

NO NO NO

 

[MET]

Since you asked. I agree though if you like it do it, if you want it.

 

[Big E]

This would be the conversion I would drool over. I know you have been contemplating over the the 250 kit. If you want it, then get it. I say #### it and just do it!

 

[Big E]

one more

 

[billbell]

That swing arm looks great! I think the wider tire looks good.

 

[TAZEONE]

that single swingarm kit is awesome.

so HOW MUCH? i'm all ears

 

[Mikey D]

I requires an offsett sprocket. Sounds heavy/breakable.

Too much show, not enough go.

Buy a blower.

Coming from a cruiser background, I kinda would like a 240 kit for my bike w/ a little stretch & undertail kit. Call me straight line...but I like the look but not in the extreme stretch & super phat tires. If I need a carver, I'll get a used cheaper 600 somewhere & showboat the busa. U purest could nail me now but I guess I would deserve it hanging around here lol

Just to let you know because I work at Custom Sportbike concepts all the bikes it in the original post are 240's except the Black one which is a 280.
