Gen 1 Busa Braking Up-Grade

nhgunnut · 09-19-2009, 05:29 PM

OK I have had My 05 Busa since it was new. I have always loved the bike. I have the Turbo set-up with the fuel rail. This has been putting a silly grin on my face since the day it was installed in 9/05. The one area where I like most Gen 1 Busa owners have felt like it needed help was the brakes. I have been running stainless lines and HH pads since 06 Recently after purchasing a 08 B King with the Gen II brakes I checked around for a cost effective upgrade.
Here is my most recent upgrade

I had a local Busa Guru (Gixerhp) do the conversion Dam what a difference! Now My budget does not yet support a conversion to Brembo Callipers but Just adding this to the stock callipers and rotors makes an amazing difference. Much more stopping power and much easier to modulate. Now I suppose I will have to find the cash to convert the Clutch in just the interest of Symmetry

Nonot selling the Busa any time soon. Way way to much fun. The upgrade with new pads, lines, Brembo Radial Master cylinder was $650 installed. Now after putting a couple hundred miles on them all I can say is wow. Puts the first Gen Busa in the stopping class as the Gen II bikes and the 05 Ducati I used to have.
I will grab some pictures of the Dash and post it for Dave. Randy you should come up for leaf peeping season and do an independent review of the up grade
