Nice and clean. I stripped the 14 down the last two years during winter and cleaned everything off thoroughly. Mostly dust and road gravel. Good opportunity to look at everything real close and check bolts for tightness.

Mass did you replace your rotor bolts with shorter ones I dont like how they stick out thru the hub.I got new rotors front and back,so I can use my stock rims for that once a year the war department wants to go on bike holiday,

huha, was looking for something that looked carbon fiber ........and I even looked at those wheels and thought "Suzuki" which doesn't seem all that out of place to my eye since I have black stock wheels on my busa.
A nice cleaning up under the plastic is worth while posting a topic about....even with a photo....but BST wheels??? Now there's a reason to scream! Congrats darryle! Will be my next mod if i can afford it any time soon.

Mass hyperbolts.com have ti rotor bolts 6 for 30.00 but they are M8x30...Toooo long,what size are yours and where did you get them?If I have to I'll cut my stockers.Dont know if it would be hard or easy to cut down the ti bolts.

Roman for the time being I'm only replacing the upper and lower,I've got one more treatment on my hand then surgery.I talked to the doctor he'll put it off to mid october so I can at least get a decent ride in.I'll run the old tank so no worries of tank bag scratches.I've put corsa's on the BST's and probably avons for the stock rims got new factory rotors from Cory

Wow you guys are killing me!!! LOL Please let me know what you think of the handling and if the acceleration and braking seem better? I want to do the wheels, rotors, Pilot Pure’s and ceramic bearing. Just wondering if there is a big difference or not?

Couldn't tell you about the handling... Or braking for that matter. Accelleration has been a pretty nice gain though.

So it’s a good notable difference that you can feel by the seat of the pants meter?

I thought someone had said you need differant bolts for the rear sprockets and rear brake rotor. Does anyone know if that is true?
