Hey - christo - 12-12-2014
Hi, new member me, had my busa for about 2 years (blue/silver) and love it, live in deloraine, tasmania and did the toy run to Hobart which I loved. Was thinking about selling my bike for a boulevard cause at 6' 3" have a bit of trouble with my knees but after toy run I have a renewed love of my bike. I might even buy a brand new one next year. I originally bought the bike from shearwater motorcycles cause I liked the look of it, not really knowing what it was. Prior to that had a zzr 1100. And I love the fact that when you tell people your bike is a busa their mouths drop open and say "oh man, you have a rocket ship!!" That never gets old!
That's about it ( for now)
When reading this bare in mind I may have had a couple of shanties ?
Shandies even!!!

Welcome
Sounds like you're hooked
The shandies/shanties worry me - do ya sing sea-shanties while guzzling shandies?

G'day and welcome Christo.
There are several ergonomic mods to be had if you are struggling for leg room.
Dunno about those shandies though.

I'd be interested to know what those mods are.
And name on the label of the shandies is 'Devils cut' ?

Option 1: aftermarket rearsets that allow a lower setting
Option 2: aftermarket foot pegs only, variopegs and the like.
Option 3: other mods like the popular Buell peg mod.
Others can probably add some other suggestions too.
Hope that helps some.
