Welcome to the oRg! A tire discussion will have many opinions, but I will go ahead and throw out my choice, Avon Storms. Good tires, good wet weather traction, and decent mileage. Again, welcome!

to the Org Congrats on your new Busa!
Many threads on what tires to use. Depends on what type of riding you are doing. I'm an Avon storm man myself.

and my rear tyre is down to 1.6m of tared

They are ok, it really depends on your style of riding. I tried the Bridgestone 21's, good tires, but the front started cupping at 1000 miles and they would not replace it. The Avons have offered much better wear. What kind of riding do you do?

i've just order a pair of dunlop Sportmax Qualifier II from Big CC Racing

there the ones that they recommend for a busa

You might need to re-aim it, they are usually pointed to far down by factory. HID's are some of the best money spent. You can do low beam only, or low and high beam. These folks are sponsors and help you out with a kit, http://www.xenonking.com/ . You can also send a PM to Gixerhp, not sure if he can ship overseas, but it never hurts to ask.
