I love it! Doesn't matter if your bike is parked in the garage or being hauled to the track, it's always on some fluffy wall to wall carpeting :lol:

I followed your lead and I have carpet covering 1/3 of my garage now too :wink:

So you're lowering the rear and strapping the front?

Please tell me that the links will come out once you get back from the track :?

what width did you get?

the first one I bought wasn't wide enough and they said it would be.

my disks were closer that I liked so I order another one that was a little wider.

Looks good! I love the carpet... Too funny. I have used a full size van to get my bikes to the track a few times now. Works well. I'm waiting to find a cheap one in decent shape so I can stop using the rental vans. At least the rental guys give them to me free 8) Would be nice to have a real wheel chock though. I'll assume you have a nice arched ramp to get it in? My 954, stock height, will only fit with an arched ramp...

Good luck rockin those Busa's! :twisted: :twisted:

cool I think that was the width of the first one I got "5 1/2 that is", I just wasn't sure until I went and measured it.

My arched folding ramps are 7.5' long and I can get my friends GSXR600 into the bed of his F-350 with no problem.

I have used them to get Turbo's Duc and Nemisis' 1000RR into the back of E-350 vans too.

But you can't go wrong with longer ramps. I'll be buying some 100" arched ramps over the winter because the only way to get a bike in the back of my 2500HD with 6" lift and 35's is to ramp off my trailer or park the back tires of the truck in a ditch.

Do yourself a favor and get a folding ramp though.
