Chrissb6 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi I've got the lift arm http://abbastands.co.uk/product-detail. ... arm&pid=42But 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.

Tankbag Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it all clicks into place once underway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-AM-THOR Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Got panniers? Fill 'em with bricks, works great for me 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.

Chrissb6 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited April 14, 2015 by Chrissb6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
