Sure cache! Post away...
Thanks for all the info on the stand guys...I'll make do with it for now since I'm flat broke...but, I think I'll end up just getting a new stand since I haven't heard the best things about the stock stand, and it doesn't look very nice anyway...
I'm leaning toward chroming lots of things once I sell my kidney
so perhaps I'll just get a chrome stand...
...sounds like I might be a minority in this, but I like the stock screen too...
Thanks for being in the minority as well Big O!
I'm in that minority too... speaking of minority, you should change Caesar's name to Napolean due to its height
It's not really that short, is it?!
No...gonna stick with Caesar...after my HUGE St. Bernard I had as a kid...he weighed in at 1/2 the weight of my Busa!
Bike is looking good Michelle. Hope you didn't do any damage when it fell in the gravel. I also use the adjustable stand. Think I bought it from Schnitz.
Welcome viol8r, I have also seen you over on LABUSAS. As I recall, you were going to throw a BIG AZZ Busa party this summer. If I weren't going to Laguna, I would have tried to figure out how to come. Coulda visited friends and family in Chicago.
Tell us about the party and show some pictures. (Maybe start a new thread)

Greg...
Thanks...it's certainly no work of art like yours! But, I'm very pleased with him...and no, not too much damage from dropping it in the gravel. Just a few scratches...one day I'd like to have some custom paint, so I'm not too worried about the small scratches...

VaBusa,
How does it handle low? Tip-in easier or harder? Do you drag hard parts sooner?
Looks great...I like the low stock screen too!
Later!

I don't feel a bit of difference in handling...good thing because that was my biggest worry...the shop that did the work sounded very confident in saying the handling would be the same, and I'd have to say that they were right (even if they only sold Aprilia and Ducati, I'm impressed!)
The only thing I notice is that bigger bumps in the road seem to hit me a little harder than the stock setup...not a huge deal to me, but noticable...so, the suspension was affected some, but not enough to make me regret it. I wouldn't go any lower than 2" though...I could have gone to a 4" drop, but I imagine I'd be worrying about bottoming out at that height...

Today I took the cage, but still hope to ride the bus a few more times this year...VA, It's looking sweet
First days of rain make the wet roads very slippery...
Thanks Iced...I'm guessing you get plenty of snow...in VA, we're a bit lucky...we don't get too much snow, so I'm hoping to get some warm riding gear and ride the Busa year 'round!VA, It's looking sweet
It's polished billet aluminum. They retail for $225. VelTune sells them for $199. There are two lengths... one for stock-height Busas' and one for lowered Busas'. The one in the pic above is for lowered bikes. It can be seen here under "Products" and then "Diamond Powersports": VelTune R&D
Thanks War...I was going to ask you, but you beat me to it...I've already started dropping hints to the hubby for Christmas, so that's at the top of my list!
