I got the Busa Bursig stand today, and I'm very happy with it. I have no video as of yet, but plenty of pictures. I can assure you it lifts the Busa as easy as the GSXR in the video on their website(link below).
It takes less pressure on the Bursig handle to lift the Busa than the force needed to lift the Busa on a rear swingarm stand.
It moves around on the casters with ease, again just like the video.
I sat on the bike with it lifted up(I'm 175lbs)and it's extremely strong and stable.
I did not know until I recieved the lift that you must add a sleeve to the upper engine mount bolt for the upper pin on the stand to fit into. I removed the upper engine mount bolt and put it back in from the opposite side of the frame. Then instead of putting the stock nut on, the Bursig sleeve is threaded on instead(I put some locktite on it).
I have 4 friends with the Gen2 Busa also and was hoping to be able to use it on their bikes as well. I'll get some more sleeves if any of them would like to be able to use the lift, and don't mind the sleeve mounted on their bike. The sleeve is not in the way of your leg either.
The stand itself is the same for all bikes, but the plate with the pins is different per bike(some models and years share the same pattern).
The front wheel is currently 3" off the ground, and the rear is 5". This can be adjusted by the paralell threaded rod above the pins. I'm going to shoot for the opposite, 5" front and 3" rear, or there abouts. At least to get the front high enough to roll the front wheel out without removing or loosening the front fender.
The top pin on the plate is fixed, the lower is adjustable. It is extremely difficult to line it up to tighten it down by yourself. The slightest side to side tilt throws off the alignment, as it must be near perfect. An extra set of hands balancing the bike will make it easy. This is only for the intial adjustment too. After it's tightend down you simply roll the stand next to the bike and slide the pins into the holes, then push down on the handle and up it goes(again, just like the video). The kickstand must also be up as it will hit the center leg of the stand when you roll it underneathe the bike.
The threaded rod on the end of the handle is adjustable so you can roll the stand against the upright bike with the plate in it's lowest position, or where you prefer it.
Overall it is an excellent idea and design. It will make removing wheels and forks even easier. Suspension/sag adjustments can now be done in seconds. As opposed to the forklift front stand, and lowering the bike onto jackstands off the swingarm stand with a 5/8" rod through the lower engine bolt hole.
I may even start cleaning my bike now
Here's the bad part, I'm ashamed to say it cost me $700 to my door. I really, really hated to spend that, but the stand has met my expectations. I'm very happy with how well it works, and how little effort is needed to lift the bike.
Just putting my bike on my old stands really bothered my back, the Bursig has eliminated that, and that in itself is worth it to me.
I have quiet a few pics to load, and the org as of late has only been letting me load one pic per post, so give me a few to get them all up.
