I have one,works fine, mine would be better if it had the cutout to remove the rear wheel, and the front clamp is ok but not great, use tiedowns anyway to secure it, fits the busa with mild extensions on the swingarm, i plan on adding some to the front . but value for money , shoulda done it years ago.

hey Greg what do you consider "mild" extensions? i've got a JMC 4.5 over arm heading my way, im actually getting it because its also -2, (bring on the twistys) but once the turbo goes in i might need to use the extra length so it would be good to know if it will fit

62" (57 is std)is as long as i can go and remove the ramp, if you have enough room the ramp can be left in place and fit ~70"
I know its all inches but im talking to the yanks so much i know the lengths in inches and would have to put some effort in to convert.....

Ta for the replies, I ended up borrowing a stand.

I bought one of them last year and I don't know how I lived without one before. They are a must have I reckon.
