Hope it holds I'll get a look "in the flesh" on the Rideout next year mate. Hopefully I'll have a new one then as well, but will have to see what the "finance fairy" comes up with

Enjoy and ride safe!

Some useless info for you Dave.

The HUGE exhausts you can see out the back arent!
They are fakes/plastic covers.
The real "can" is an ugly box under the pillion seat.

Changing the pipes doesnt find many pony's.
I've beat 2 B-Kings in dyno shoot outs with my stock exhaust
(but they looked a zillion times better!)
One of them had an identical A/F ratio to mine with no re-mapping
so the bike seems to compensate well to having its can's changed.

Can's look good, but the front pipes arent great and there's
an "EXUP" type power valve and a cat-converter too, so if your after
more pony's an aftermarket Busa front section is an idea.


The long rear guard has a VERY heavy subframe under it.
A tail tidy saves a lot of weight.

No need for a powercommander on a new Busa or B-King.
The stock ECU can be flashed/re-mapped and you can
also do lots of tricks like like turning the TRE on/off etc
(BK's are restricted to 155mph, lower than Busa's GSXR's etc)
with the stock ECU if you have the software and know how.

... and Dave, I was serious when I said on the B-King forum
that you should buy a radiator guard !

Dhooo!!! .....



Talk about "locking the stable door after the horse has bolted" ...

I did an LED indicator upgrade on a mates B-King last weekend. He got the kit from the USA. Paid £80 which was a major rip off as the component value is far less than that
Easy to fit and the end result was spot on.

cool

[fr499y 0]

£80!! lets hope there good LED's cause if one of them goes the whole lot will stop working lol

Well Dave, well wear with the King, I have my one just over two years and love it, alot of mods done for power gain but the down side is she ates rear tyres( 4 rear tyres in 6thousand miles or so!!!!) If your bike has dunlop qualifiers be very carefull on cold/damp roads as they are a bitch to heat up. On pirelli at the mo and the best millage i got was 1800miles now while I am fond of twisties and the trottle i dont do burnouts or any thing like that.

Also check your speedo out as they are way off the mark.

Any way best of luck with her and i love the colors

I've heard dunlops are crap on the bking, and so are BT015's ( or 16, can't remember )? same as whats fitted as standard to the busa. the VP2 Sports are a good mix of long life and performance, or the supersport/xtreme if wear isnt a problem. Ovc the other brilliant option for the bking if you want a longer lasting tyre is the metzeler m5's or the Pirelli ( what paul probs has? ) Diablos =]

Ya spot on diablos. needs another rear now again heard good reports about the angels.
Wouldnt try metzler again, got 1100miles out of a m4
What kind of tyres are VP2??

[Tony nitrous 0]

The original Dunlop Qualifiers fitted to the B-King
are not the same as some of the aftermarket Dunlop Qualiers.

They look the same, size, pattern and name, but...

The tyres on my bike were "Made in Japan", after market were "Made in USA".
One was 3 ply, one was 4 ply,
the aftermarket USA tyre had noticably better grip / maybe softer compound.

[fr499y 0]

VP2's are avons, got them on my z1000, had them on my SV650 and will need another pair some time next year on the zed.. Cracking tyres. And for me to stick to one tyre on more than one bike is saying something
