Abba or eazyrizer lifts - any users

Cheers Lew.  I've splashed the cash so I've gotta get on with it!

But seriously I think it's the right option for me.

A table lift would have taken up so much more space, been possibly even more of a pain to get the bike onto (cos I can't take a run at it as you usually would with a table lift) and you still have to lift the bike up from the table if you want to pull certain bits off.

I can see why table list make sense, but this also makes sense.

As long as the kit is robust reliable it should do me fine.  Time, as they say, will tell.

Cheers Lew.

Confident but not complacent - I hope!

One more snap;

Well you inspired me to get an Abba superbike stand.
What a great piece of kit, used it last night to change my shock and the bike sits solid.
I've invested in the addition for raising the front so next week the forks are coming off for an upgrade with no dodgy jacks/blocks of wood/ropes supporting the bike!

I think a full bench is better with both wheels on the bench.  You can jack it up as you would on the floor, both ends if you want. and it's more stable.


I have a scissor lift that is sunk into my garage floor.  It's a lot better working when seated.

I think I need to go to Robins place next time I work on my bike?

Nice!

I think preping the bike for the summer back in march made my mind up.   I could hardly move after a day faffing aboot wi the bike.  I just had to get something that allows me to stand or sit for most jobs.

I cant believe how easy it is to use, theres so little contact with the bike yet once in place you can jump up and down on it !
The most common thing I see people saying about not buying one is that it uses the swing arm bolts so you cant use it to remove the swingarm. Well, they do a swing arm removal kit for it as well

Just thinking over the whole concept and the last comment it occured to me that once you have this lift there is nothing to stop you making a ridged table workbench that the lift could roll up to and place the bike on for the few occasions a bench would be better.

thats what ive been thinking...I made a bench with castors when I restored my honda 400/4, using a long scaffold board to load.i have to empty the garage to make enough room though, too many projects  ....this lift would make it easy.....spotted a eazy rizer at the stafford show last week..similar thing but lifts from the wheels using a screw lift...

[chris.biker]

Red I wonder if you could replaced the screw with a car jack either the single leg type or a scissor jack?

[red98]

Ah yes, some of the ramp type us a small car trolley jack, dont think the single leg or the scissor jacks would have enough lift..SLIMWILLY has made his own using a quick lift jack , the type off roaders use, he'll be along shortly with a picture........
