    Not cheap I'm afraid - was £435 inc delivery (asked for their best price and got only about £10 off) but that's including the adapters and is so easy to use. I did order a a Warrior one but didn't have the adapters for my bike so returned it, sounds like that stand is turning out to be a nightmare but then it's a quarter the price of this?!

    I can highly recommend it especially over the huge sealey bike lift types, in the pic it's only 2/3 of its height and everything looks heavy duty so hopefully last a lifetime lol.

    Is it cheaper if you already have an abba stand?

    No mate, it doesn't use or can be used with the stand I think you're talking of. But Abba do a front adapter for your stand that just lifts the front an inch or two just so that both wheels are off the ground - and I don't think it's too much either but it can't be raised like the skylift.

    Yeah, you are right the abba skylift and the abba superbike stand are incomparable with each other although there are similarities being there both made by same company and pretty sure they use the same adaptor sets for all the bikes.

    Martin, here is the front lift arm that can be used with the abba stand to lift the front end of the bike without a jack under the headers or similar.

    I bought the front arm to go with my stand at the NEC show in November pretty solid addition.

    Looks great, can it be locked into the raised position or does it rely on the hydraulics only.

    Found it


    * The bike can be locked off at maximum height and a secondary lower position for additional safety. (No load on hydraulic pump)

    It can be locked in 2 positions with just a good old fashioned pin through the main black stem (if you look in the pic one is just below the abba sticker & the other is pretty close to the top)
    Tis a cracking stand though!!
