Default Motorcycle Lift - Makro

Thought this might be of some interest to somebody-

Makro are selling motorcycle lifts, £39.99 (+VAT) down from £69.99
Looks a fairly good spec from the mailshot, offer just started on Wednesday. Might be a handy bit of kit especially for anyone without centrestand

See page 31 of mailshot below for details.

Makro sell to the trade but it apppears lot of folk seem to know somebody who has a card.

Pg 31 of brochure btw, download it its much quicker.

Yay! Was contemplating how long I could put off buying a rear paddock stand for, but that should do the job and is even cheaper! Work buys a lot of stuff from Makro which is literally the other side of the road, and can always use their card
Looking at piccy, would be bike be steady enough on that to work on solo?

How do these stands attach/fit against the bike? I would have expected crushed fairings on my GSX-R...

Not too good for sportsbikes those, no big flat base like crossers have. You could make a bracket but it'd be a fair bit of work i reckon.
