Raised tail mod *pic

[GPW]

If you are modifying for the look only then use the dog bones, if you want the full function get the Penske 8957 three-way adjustable rear shock spec to your riding weight it comes with adjustable ride height, not cheap but makes the bike really handle a lot better with a matching beefed up front suspension w/ Axxion 20/20 cartridges spec to your rider weight.  Traxxion Dynamics full set up $2200.00. Ask for Mike tell him you want the set up Greg Williams got - road race package

The raised Azz looks good but isn't that gonna put more weight on your wrists ?

Yes...so if you are changing the suspension just for the looks alone then you might not want to...those that will use the extra ride height for better and faster cornering will be just fine, like riding a liter bike (with proper weight shaved off) the Busa has lot of power down low.

So it wouldn't be good for my 108 mile commutes each day .

I've been on my +1" dog bones for a year now.  You notice the change in body position slightly with a little more weight on the wrists.  But after a month of training myself(my back) to remove the weight off my wrists, I no longer even notice it. I commute everyday plus canyons and trackdays.  Just had to build a little more back muscle  

Also your headlight will be pointed further down, so you'll have to adjust the high and low beams too.

Depends on your fitness level. I do 850+ miles in three days carving up the twisties without an issue. Works well for me, might not work for everyone..I have about 4500 miles on my 06 I got in late April.

Good point about the headlight

 

[kawipartsdlr]

Which SV links are suggested? 650 or 1000, and what years?
Thanks

Soupy make adjustable threaded links that will raise or lower your bike! Thats what is on my bike!

You don't want to go any higher than 12MM in the rear and minus 5MM up front. For aggressive sport riding applications.
