    Hi I’ve got a K8 Busa and I ownded it for 2.5 years now 15000mile and thinking about changing the exhaust pipes I have seen an earlyer model with the Devil cans under the seat above the wheel it looked for orsom but have not been able to find them any where I think the guy must have had them custom made.

    With regards to the front handling I know what you mean “BIKE magasine had an artical about the hayabusa in it about 2 months ago they raised the back of the bike by just 4mm they track tested it and claimed the handling to be vastle improve and stated they did not know why Suzuki did not manufacture the bike set upo in this way at production.

    Im looking into lowering bikes for a living and also fitting a row of white high brightnes leds down the front of the fairings on my Busa I think tjhs will look pritty kool!

    I wonder if you could tell me if changing the cans and lowing bikes will affect my insurance policy do I need to inform Swinton?

    If you wan to fit Paniers the fixing kit for the late 1200 bandit almost fitt straight on you will have to modify one side bracket only

    hope your not going to get the busa painted that lairy swinton orange !

  • Moh

    The Busa looks lovely, but can’t believe that they put the phone number on it!!!

  • Ashley

    nice shame they could only do straight lines could be better but black and orange always good together

You’ve found the Swinton Bikes blog - the place on the web where our bike-mad Luke Renton will be posting updates on the journey of the first Swinton Bike. You’ll also find lots of images and posts from Luke on all things bike related.

Are you planning on attending a motorbike event this year?
