I've seen people sitting on their bike with it on the lift.
My understanding is that there is a pin that mates to the frame. I assume our frames are symmetrical on both sides, so I'd assume it will work both ways.
The pins provided is only for the left side (kickstand side), it would probably work if you fabed your own pins. However, I wouldn't recommend it because when you have the bike at ground level, you want to stabilize the bike when pulling the pins out, it will be very difficult on the right side & the Busa is top heavy so steading the bike & pulling lift out, is not ideal, in my opinion, it would now be a safety issue & dropping the bike would be traumatic.
I am a new owner of a 2008 Busa (one month), always wanted one, been riding Harley's for over 25 years. Anyways, I just bought the SV Paddock lift a few weeks ago, very versatile, able to move it around my garage without problems with my smooth cement floors, might create a problem if its a sectional type. My biggest gripe was once the lift was up in the air, there was a very noticeable lean to the right (should have taken a picture of it), it drove me crazy, thought it would tip over but never did. I tried adding a couple of additional spacers to lift the two front legs (without the locking wheels), didn't work, fabed angle irons to attach to the front legs to preclude leg flexing which didn't work also. The main beam has a slight tilt to to the left, so I was thinking of cutting & rewelding the bottom to give it more tilt to the left, decided against it. I was about to give up, but I decided to go back to square one & keeping adding spacers until it would level the bike. It finally worked at 1 1/4" of spacers (you will need longer bolts, not provided in kit), bike is near perfectly straight. Tested by moving the lift around my garage to ensure there were no safety issues, no problems, same as without the additional spacers. Also wanted to mention, the pins will loosen, instruction recommendation was to use blue locktite, doesn't work, need to use the Red 271 (some don't like 271 because it's not easy to remove, if you can't remove it, heat it up).
Note:
I paid $249.00 on Ebay, however, since I live in Hawaii, an additional $60 for shipping. I don't see any markings on lift (unless I missed it) so I can't tell you where its manufactured. The square tubing is only 1/16" thick, so there is flex once your bike is on it, other manufacturers maybe thicker but the price is higher. One other note, it has only one level, up in the air, there are no other hole pin adjustments, you could probably drill additional holes like the Bursig, which has 3 holes. Overall I am satisfied with the lift because once I get back from my ride & park it in the garage, I just put the bike on the lift & turn it around for my next ride, very easy.
