I took delivery this morning of an Abba superbike stand,within ten minutes of unpacking my tdm was on it.So much easier and safer than a normal paddock stand.Makes working on the bike,cleaning and oil level check so much easier.Can't recommend highly enough.

I bought the Abba skylift a few months ago and although pricey really is a good bit of kit.

I have 2 ABBA Stands and Ive used them for years, but one thing bothers me, whenever I see them being used the lever arm is operated standing on the left side of the bike. I much prefer standing to the right of the bike and lifting the bike up and back, the same way a centre stand does, and, when lowering I can control the front brake. Is it just me being awkward, anyone else do it this way?

my main stands are always on the left :unsure2:

I've had an Abba superbike stand for several years, and in my view much easier to use than a paddock stand. Really impressed with it in fact, and am starting to look at the Sky Lift. I enjoy working on my bikes and have done enough years crawling around to feel like I've earnt one! I much prefer it from a storage point of view than the big ramps that take up so much room in the middle of a garage floor
