Abba stand owners

Do you guys use front lift arm or is there something cheaper to buy or make instead?

Thanks

Hi I've got the lift arm

http://abbastands.co.uk/product-detail. ... arm&pid=42

But yesterday l used a front axle stand to lift up the front of the Busa with the Abba stand on the rest of the bike, the front went up a breeze.

Yep I have the lift arm, the strap supplied with it is a bit flimsy tbh so I use a ratchet strap to pull down the rear, I like Chris's way of lifting the front though, I'll give that a go next time.

Bloody so front heavy these Busa's Tankbag. The front stand was by far and away the easiest l found so far.

Chriss I even tried putting a massive water container on the pillion to try heave the front up It's amazes me how all that weight disappears when you're riding it though

Got panniers? Fill 'em with bricks, works great for me

Hence why 42 psi is required for the front tyre pressure. Agree it all clicks into place once underway.

I know it's off topic but I like 36 in the front, I've messed about thru to 42 & it feels like I get a bit more feedback before trouble

No but iv got 2 children I could strap to it instead

I got a big camping style bag I could strap to the back. I also have some wagon straps and when it's done a ground anchor. Tie the straps around the back and pull down.

I know it's only £40 for one, but that could be a nice new pair of gloves or at least a bit towards one. Only need it to take the wheels of a few times a year.

At a push you can take the belly pan off if fitted then with a small block of wood under the engine or exhaust use a jack if its only for the odd occasion. I find so much easier to clean the wheels with both wheels up.
