Want opinions on best performance mods.
What am I missing. I have considered the sprocket conversion - down 1 in the front and up 2 in the rear.
Top speed is not as important to me. All advice is greatly appreciated.
I will pass on listing my mods, hit my link in my signature if you want some ideas.
I see you have a TRE listed, but at the same time you say "Top speed is not Important" - well than do yourself a favor and forget the TRE - Get your bike a pcIII usb, spend some $$$ at the dyno and have a proper map built - much better route, and you will see some extra performance you wont get with a TRE.
If you change your 17/40 gearing to 16/42 you will never top out the 184 speed limiter, which your trying to cancel out by the TRE. And if your beliving the TRE smooth's out throttle response, well let me know your results and than compare em with everyone else here who had a TRE and than pulled the thing off.
Sounds like you have some riding experience with some nice bikes. I would ride the Busa stock just a little while, than see what you think needs improving. The exhaust is usually a first upgrade to many, as the sound is neat, but make sure you don't end up running her to lean or rich without properly mapping your bike - why pay for worse performance than stock.
Im currently running a 17/42 sprocket and like the gearing setup for my weight (210 lbs). I chose to run a steel Driven USA sprocket in the rear, 1 for quality of material and build, secondly is for higher HP bikes I dont like the idea of saving a pound or so to compromise strength of the sprocket. I use stock front gear because I don't want to hear the whine of an aftermarket sprocket, and stock does the job just fine. Might want to think about upgrading the wimpy stock chain to an EK zzz chain since your already down there. Also might want to consider making your Busa not such a pig. New wheels, carbon fiber, titanium, aluminum, etc...gets expensive real quick, I know and several other guys here know this expense...ask Grabntwist, and Speedmon who are also currently playing this $$$$$ game.
Lots of guys have went Turbo like NitrousJunkie and MidnightBusainSD or Highly Modified big-bore nitrous bikes. I would suggest reading everything they post...heck read everything everyone has posted on these performance mods...you need to get your Phd if you plan to go this route..a Masters degree only makes things go Poooof.
I guess the term "Best" means many things to many different people. If you have unlimited funds, find a guy close to you here from the forums and buy em beer and some small parts for their Busa & they will take you under their wing and help spend your $$$$ wisely. If your like most of us "Busa-poor" than read, read, read the posts here. Learn from other's in their glory or melt-downs.
Good luck, stay safe, and welcome to the forums.
