Tempted....even though they'll sting me 30 quid P&P.

Get one - you won't regret it. My back and knees thank me whenever I use mine.

I'd love to get one but the Abba Stand doesn't fit my RT or GS. :(

You can if you use the swing arm removal kit, which makes the abba mount to a foot peg bolt rather than the swing arm pivot... however, I wouldn't like to use it with the skylift :)

I've used the swing arm removal kit on the VFR and the Falco with absolutely no issues. The VFR is around 220-230kg wet, and Bad Things did not happen.

I could be tempted - but not sure that the Maison d'Homme has enough head room

If they weren't so expensive I'd buy a second one as mine is tied up on the zxr750 project.

I enquired today and Abba informed me they were not currently doing any discounts or offers.

Go figure. :lol:

HI

I have the Abba lift for my RT works fine but you have to clip the rider pegs up they supplied a paid of reusable zip ties with the RT kit

The lift is very stable and makes it so much easier to work on the bike

Thar she blows. Seems like it'll be a useful piece of kit. Assembly was easy enough,despite my fragile state!

Michelin Road 6s. They do look a little like wets,though!

BTW @Noggin the garage is a tip,but if Mrs.Skub ever stops with her house improvements/endless bloody decorating,then I can sort things out a bit better.

They'd overheat on track.
