Is there anything i can do to make the gen 2 busa steering a bit quicker and lighter, like a R1 or gixxer ect ? any advise appreciated.

Improving the front brakes as well ,any ideas ?

braided lines are a start if you havent gone there and a set of gelfer or aftermarket rotors ,

Get onto Ebay.....if you don't mind waiting a couple of weeks, braided lines are available heaps cheaper from OS than HEL......3 line kit from HEL is $240 (I think) and mine came from UK (Goodridge) and cost $140 shipped to my door (with staino banjos).

New pads and a set of lift links will sharpen steering

Jacking up the rear and moving the forks up through the triple-tree (drop the front - you'll need spacers for that) will do it.
This will also slightly alter the centre of gravity on the bike and reduce the wheelbase a touch.

Combine that with a reduction in unsprung weight and you would have a reasonable quick flick Busa.
