Re: Bike Lift
problem with mini lifts is that you need a flat underside on the bike to lift with, typically using the engine sump. Every bike I've had has exhausts and other bits and pieces in the way preventing this. The bike is also vulnerable to falling off the stand. They are fairly popular for dirt bikes though.
An Abba stand lifts using engine or swing arm mounting points at the side of the bike frame. Very solid and allows access to the underside of the bike while on the stand. Also good for removal of swing arm, rear shock etc. Last edited by flymo; 31-01-14 at 10:54 AM. |
