This modification refers to a specialized aftermarket component designed to allow a Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle to accommodate a wider rear tire than originally intended by the manufacturer. This typically involves replacing the stock swingarm and possibly other related components to create the necessary clearance for the larger tire.
The implementation of a broader rear tire provides an altered aesthetic appearance, imparting a more muscular or aggressive visual signature to the motorcycle. Furthermore, proponents suggest enhanced traction, particularly during straight-line acceleration. Historically, this modification has been popular within certain motorcycle customization subcultures seeking a distinctive and performance-oriented build. It represents a significant deviation from the original engineering specifications of the motorcycle, which can impact handling characteristics.
