Motorcycle lift ??

Thought about one of those myself, but as a mech. design engineer the idea of lifting a bike attached on only one side just doesn't feel right. Can't help feeling it's going to be "wobbly".
I ended up with an Abba stand, not as versatile.....but secure!

 

+1 on the ABBA.

 

Interesting bit of kit, would I have one? No, spinning that round in an office on the perfect floor is one thing but on average finish garage concrete with the odd unseen screw lying around or anything else dropped on the floor would send the lot into crying territory.

 

+1 for the Abba Skylift

I use it a couple of time a month, it does really need a smooth surface to manouver on, but I have managed.
It makes all maintenance very easy.

A worthy investment, and if you change bikes, you jsut buy a new adapter kit for £20 to £30

 

i've got an abba stand, but i saw one of those stands your'e talking about in action at the edinburgh show and i was impressed with it,seems to be really stable..the guy was having a jive with it!

 

guys. talking of abba stands. I'm considering buying one myself a conventional type.
I have a 2012 tripple r.
1 do the mountings Mark up the inner swing arm pivots ?
2 are there any known chassis changes between the 2012 and 2014 model bikes.
as the stands on e bay etc quote 2014 fittings.

yeah the swing arm pivots,they will have a plastic cover over them,i have taken them off and just left them off,pretty sure there is no difference between the 2012 and 2014 model but i would phone a dealer just to be on the safe side

 

thanks for the speedy reply. I'll get onto my dealer this morning
regards daz.

 

Glad you like it. Enjoy!

 

I have one of these ( similar to this one). Best thing about it I was given it by a friend for free

+1 for the 1jac, amazing bit of kit. I couldn't live without one.

 

i think that's like the one i saw at the show,i was amazed at how stable it looked,nice piece of kit

 

are you able to raise the height of the bike with it?

 

Hi Anthony, as you say the stand looks well engineered. But I'm curious, how is the bike secured to the stand? Any more photos of that detail?
