Lowered Busa?

[vbadillo]

I would like to lower my Busa and extend 4" the swingarm. I would like to know if I do that can some one ride with me in the back. My wife love to ride with me I don't want my undertail hit the tire. Any sugestion ?

stiffen up the rear when you haul a passenger you should be ok.

actually... that is not good enough... The stock spring will not be able to hold the extra passenger load without bottoming out no matter how much you stiffen the suspension... YOu will need to get a new spring for your rear suspension... Mine came from trac dynamics, I beleive its a couple hundred or so, but it is much stronger and will prevent your rear from bottoming out with a passenger...

The issue is that when you extend the arm, the weight sits back further, putting more stress on the suspension...

add alot more preload to the rear spring and see how things go.

the spring is gonig to be a bit weak. You might find the rear tire rubbing the undertail.

I'm not stretched but lowered and I cant have a passenger w/o tire rubbing. I have not tried increasing preload cause I dont take passengers anyway and still want proper sag.

You will need a better spring or a racing shock. Check with GPW (Greg).
