I have had a standard Abba stand for several bikes and when the adapter didn't fit on one side they just sent out another with no hesitation... awesome product, top class customer support, fantastic company.
Excellent job. I service shocks and forks where the wheels need to be off of the ground to get them off of the bike. Looks like a perfect solution. Also, as a side note, over tightening is the bane of my existence as a shock tech.
Hi Chase, I used a big C style bolt in stead of the straps. you can bolt it tighter or looser in order to level the bike perfectly. Once you have it right, weld the nut shut and write the bike name on it. Do this for every bike and you'll have a set of solid clamps to keep every bike 100% horizontal
I met these guys at the Carole Nash Motorcycle show, this last weekend,so so helpful, they know there product inside out, I have a BMW GSA triple black and approached them asking if it would pick up my beast, no problem sir, the guy showed me an example of one in their brochure, he then spun round and leapt on the demo stand at full height clambering all over the bike. Very impressed with the stand, as soon as the bank manager (wife) allows the funds I’ll be on the phone. Great video too.
I bought one of these lifts for my Honda ST1300 three years ago.....its absolutely awesome and my ST1300 ways a ton. I can wheel the whole bike around my garage at chest height all winter and sit down comfortably to work on it at chest height. The caster wheels can also be locked. But my advise is to go on line and watch the video about how to fasten the rated safety strap which they supply with the whole kit. The whole motorbike can then be easily and safely lifted all at once or if you want it in a wheelie position. It works perfectly and has an additional failsafe slide fastener so that its 100% safe. I wouldnt risk improvising on safety like this guy did and risking it with any old piece of strap you can find. Use the rated one supplied with the extra safety mechanism and be safe.
I just bought a new lift called the "Big Blue" motorcycle lift. I own a 2003 Honda Goldwing. It'll lift my bike up to around 3' in the air. You have to order a special attachment for your bike. It's quite impressive and a lot easier to use than this one. Check it out. I was sold after watching the reviews and reading about it. Good video. I like your honest opinion.
There'll be a bobbin in the Tech kit that replaces the paddock stand bobbin on the left side of the swingarm. This is what the strap wraps around to keep the bike horizontal. Also, wrap the strap around twice. Also, the rear can be raised if you don't use the strap and the front can be raised if you strap the bobbin to the leg of the stand instead of the red bar. It's a great stand but just looks too time consuming to set up.
Also would like to add that with the "color" coordinating components during assembly... ABBA was far cooler than you originally thought... I am colorblind. They used colors that a colorblind person can easily work with and distinguish between... VERY RARE, most companies don't even have colorblind people on their radar let alone be in consideration of.... They literally just gained another customer because of it and I thank YOU for having the vid to show it.
I have the Abba superbike stand which comes with the same strap, it's rated at 650kg. It isn't 'not strong enough' you're just incapable of using a basic piece of equipment.
i was looking at getting one before this video came out, btw you dont get all the fittings for every bike when you buy it you only get one. They must really like chase
I remember suggesting in WBR discord a while ago that you should review this lift but don't know if that comment or someone else's was the one that prompted you to do it. Regardless, this review makes it easier to justify saving for one of these for my garage and with riding season here again I could certainly use one now. Thank you!
Check the alignment of that rear on that Triumph. It sounded out of line to me. Hopefully you don't trust the alignment marks on the Swingarm. Use only two 6' straight edges clamped to either side of the rear wheel, and adjust into your chain is desired tension and then check that the front wheel is equidistant bergen the straight edges. Best regards, Eddie
I’m going to have to get me one of these! I just recently got back on 2wheels after more than 25 years off. I am a huge fan of yours and your first fit series and new equipment videos such as this! You know I always try to leave you encouraging comments and positive thoughts on all your videos, and this one is no exception! Thank you for being such a great person to whom all of us riders can look up too and aspire to emulate your example. God bless you in all your endeavors. Much love to you and the beautiful MRS C2W! Love ya brother. #outrocrew
Almost 30 for me with the exception of having a maxiscooter for 2 yrs back in 08. But it was a CVT so no clutch practice and having sport bikes I have to get used to the top heavy issue. I'm 5'5" and 140lbs and 56 now so it's a bit more challenging but getting there.
You should get the basic Abba Superbike stand that gets the rear wheel off the ground, it’s better than a paddock stand as the suspension and swing arm are unloaded for servicing… it’s cheap and another useful item… can be used on your bike ramp as well 👍
Came across this lift a while back, and it is maybe a thing i would get someday. Just have to make sure i have the money for it, since there not so cheap. But since this lift does multiple things and can be used for several things. I can see it would be worth it
i have one these for my VFR and i wish I got the Eazyrizer instead. Check them out I think its a better option. The old style handpump jack takes too long for me and being an older guy i like the idea of using a hand drill much better
Not to take anything away from the company. You got a product from a company free of charge to review and customer service was great. Either your naive or you think your viewers are. You can't consider yourself like viewers who don't have a channel to hurt product sales. Offfffff course they're bending over backwards for you. SMH Cool lift though.
James Cattanach You might want to watch the video again. Even if he did pay for it, he's reviewing on his channel with tons of views. He'd still get great customer service. They cant afford to look bad as a growing business.
Looks cool, but needing that back strap to get the front wheel off the ground is sort of a deal breaker for me. I’d have that thing up on the lift all night and all I’d worry about is that strap breaking. Imagine the strap breaking at the height he had it at. I wonder if the stand would fall over after the front wheel swings down
I seen these in the motorbike show and they were amazing. The guy jacked the bike right up and got up on the bike to show how stable they are. I tried to buy 1 but at £400 here in the uk for a UK product. Too much money. If they want to send me 1 to try for free I'm sure I could make room in my garage for it! 😉
Looks like a great product, Chase did you check out their site and watch the video on it shows how to secure the rear strap with a second strap for safety
Ah I meant to say, I watched the guys put the bike on the stand I think very closely, I recon you should have a bobbin on your swing arm that the strap is then attached to, secured with a secondary buckle , I only mention this as I would have thought wrapping the strap around the passenger footrest bracket could be dangerous. Work safe mate.
My Only "complaint" (though i'm not really complaining). I would put a locking mechanism on the blocking rod 17:30 just so it isn't knocked out before you lower it or that it isn't all the way through. It's just a small thiung, but it's the only improvement i can think of.
I think as abba makes a solid product. But personally I plan on eventually going with a bursig.. quicker set up. Exchange plates for free. I don't need my bike up that high. Etc. But I definitely see how abba would be a solid choice for a lot of people and excellent customer service
Chase keep using the lift for WBR, the Abba one might be good for minor adjustments, my personal opinion is that the bike lifted on the Abba looks a little sketchy.
Daytona 500? That was my first bike in 1973. Was a 72 Daytona 500. Best handling bike I've ridden. Took to the end of the video to notice. Didn't look even close to the old model.
It still looks like you have not strapped it correctly cause I thought you used a short strap at the back ( the one with two loops ) around your swing arm spool and to the lift . I might be wrong as never used but I wait to see your other films using it cause I do know it will go horizontal , front end up or back wheel up for taking them out . funny watching you brake it and being sent the full ram again . I think you should ask them to come and check it and maybe show you how to use it correctly lol
chaseontwowheels Omg you replied!! Haha I’ve been a fan of your channel for years now. But it’s a 07 CRF250R that’s being converted into a supermoto, it recently slung a rod through the cases so it needs a bottom end rebuild and probably a top end rebuild as well
Run over to your nearest Mountain Motorsports and explain the situation to the techs there. I can tell you its probably going to be pretty expensive. Another option is to head to the parts counter and order all the parts needed and do the work with a buddy that knows how to do a rebuild like that. Message me with an update when you can.
chaseontwowheels Hey Chase! So Mountain motorsports route, definitely expensive, for the costs I could go buy a super sport! But I figured that, but I did find a reputable shop out in Braselton that’s going to completely rebuild the motor for less than 2k, it’s called Adams Motorsports, I haven’t been down there yet because I’m waiting to take my engine down there, plus it’s a bit far from me without having a car, but they seem very honest and knowledgeable and that’s the best quote thus far. I thought about doing it myself but since it’s going to be mostly for street use I’d rather make sure everything is done correctly the first time around. I’ll definitely keep you updated on the progress as the build goes along, while the engine is out I’ll be doing some cosmetic work and etc and shortly after putting everything back together. Can’t wait to participate in a meet up once it’s all finished and I really appreciate the responses that means alot
Personally I like the ABBA Superbike Pack 3 over the sky lift. Less bulk, still lifts my bike off the ground for wheel changes, and less height (aka fall over potential)
Looks neat, but i would take a traditional lift. Its nice that they have amazing customer service. I wish more companies were like that and cared about their customers. It does seem quality and all but it doesn't seem as stable as a traditional lift for really wrenching on things. Also i wouldn't roll the bike around at the max height. You want the center of gravity as low as possible for stability.
That's a cool lift, but I would rather have the platform lift for the tool space. I also feel like I would have to break everything loose before I use the aerial lift because I wouldn't be able to get leverage. Think back to how you tried to get the chain off on the ZX10.
Would you say this was better than using a ramp? I'm trying to decide whether to get the abba skylift or a proper hydraulic ramp. Obviously the abba let's you work on the front end
Lemme tell you something: I've watched heaps of guys doing motorcycle reviews, but you're the only one that doesn't sound like an idiot. I've been watching your videos over the years, and every time I watch someone else’s, my head automatically says ''nah, Chase is more self confident, use better words and knows what he's doing''. Keep it up, you do a great job man.
Hey Chase I know you put this video out like over 2 years ago but I'm curious as to where I can get that workbench/table that your tool box is under? That is dope as hell
Chase, I feel there is a design flaw to it. What happens when you press against the bike to tighten some bolt, wouldn't it just move around or does it come with some stopper or anchor?
I have had a standard Abba stand for several bikes and when the adapter didn't fit on one side they just sent out another with no hesitation... awesome product, top class customer support, fantastic company.
Had mine for 2 years, possibly the best stand out there. When you learn how to use it correctly it will serve you better
"They didn't pay me,but sent me this $750 lift for free" lol
Excellent job. I service shocks and forks where the wheels need to be off of the ground to get them off of the bike. Looks like a perfect solution. Also, as a side note, over tightening is the bane of my existence as a shock tech.
you should have emailed them about the fitment issue, they might have sent you another stand with a bike attached to it! lol
Hi Chase, I used a big C style bolt in stead of the straps. you can bolt it tighter or looser in order to level the bike perfectly. Once you have it right, weld the nut shut and write the bike name on it. Do this for every bike and you'll have a set of solid clamps to keep every bike 100% horizontal
Thanks abba for bringing Chase and his bikes to new heights!
I met these guys at the Carole Nash Motorcycle show, this last weekend,so so helpful, they know there product inside out, I have a BMW GSA triple black and approached them asking if it would pick up my beast, no problem sir, the guy showed me an example of one in their brochure, he then spun round and leapt on the demo stand at full height clambering all over the bike. Very impressed with the stand, as soon as the bank manager (wife) allows the funds I’ll be on the phone. Great video too.

Finally an American channel that tries and abba stand. I've got the standard one with the front wheel lift and it's brilliant.

They used colors that a colorblind person can easily work with and distinguish between...

Some people are just not meant to wrench
I have the Abba superbike stand which comes with the same strap, it's rated at 650kg. It isn't 'not strong enough' you're just incapable of using a basic piece of equipment.
Thanks Chase, good to see the process from unboxed to suspended motorcycle, warts and all. You did well.
Yeah i can guarantee if i broke that piece they would not replace it free of charge.
BenMoto exactly.
They are soooooo nice. They would do this to everyyyyyonnee.... right?
Actually, they do.
Their customer support is phenomenal as well
Quality products from ABBA , Nice to know the group are doing good things after not singing anymore.
and a British brand too! I have heard of these stands , my mate has one. Obviously well worth the money!
Matt Rowe these are built a few miles from my house. I’ve got one for my Ducati, never touching a paddock stand again!
Where's that then dude?
Matt Rowe South Woodham Ferrers, Essex
i was looking at getting one before this video came out, btw you dont get all the fittings for every bike when you buy it you only get one. They must really like chase
Of course he got everything, it's a sponsored video.
I've been thinking about making something similar but using a off-road high lift jack, sometimes called a farm jack....instead of the hydraulic ram
I remember suggesting in WBR discord a while ago that you should review this lift but don't know if that comment or someone else's was the one that prompted you to do it. Regardless, this review makes it easier to justify saving for one of these for my garage and with riding season here again I could certainly use one now. Thank you!

Good to see you heard me and bought a stand to lift the whole bike :D
Sweet lift. Glad it didn't drop that gorgeous bike haha. You've grown a lot man. Glad to see how far you've come!
literally breath taking.
I’ve just bought one and I like the way you fitted the strap. This will help me when I want to drop the rear shock out. Great piece of kit great vid 👍
You need to watch their video on lifting the bike. You use their strap and go from their spool to your spool and tighten. Works perfect.
You should get the basic Abba Superbike stand that gets the rear wheel off the ground, it’s better than a paddock stand as the suspension and swing arm are unloaded for servicing… it’s cheap and another useful item… can be used on your bike ramp as well 👍

Offfffff course they're bending over backwards for you. SMH
Cool lift though.
i totally agree and was going to write the same before i saw your comment. ^^
Watch the video dude. He bought it, it wasn't given to him, they only gave him the set for all bikes.
No the stand was given to him aswell he didnt pay (3:27).
Which, dont get me wrong, is fine its promotion thats how it works.
James Cattanach You might want to watch the video again. Even if he did pay for it, he's reviewing on his channel with tons of views. He'd still get great customer service. They cant afford to look bad as a growing business.
Srbog1 Yeah, I totally misheard that the first time round, I do, however, think that he got above and beyond customer service
Can you convince them to send one my way? 🧐
Looks cool, but needing that back strap to get the front wheel off the ground is sort of a deal breaker for me. I’d have that thing up on the lift all night and all I’d worry about is that strap breaking. Imagine the strap breaking at the height he had it at.

Congratulations on 800k Chase

Work safe mate.
I've got the ABBA superbike stand and it's super useful.
I do like the versatility of that stand but not having to maneuver around the arms bolted to the bike. Let’s give it some test runs and go from there.
My Only "complaint" (though i'm not really complaining). I would put a locking mechanism on the blocking rod 17:30 just so it isn't knocked out before you lower it or that it isn't all the way through. It's just a small thiung, but it's the only improvement i can think of.
That's excellent customer service to prove they back up there products one hundred percent.
SithLord 69 lol

Chase keep using the lift for WBR, the Abba one might be good for minor adjustments, my personal opinion is that the bike lifted on the Abba looks a little sketchy.
Another quality Chase product. Great Job!
you FINALLY got the skylift xD I remember i tagged you in a post on instagram but don't think you ever saw it.
Perfect after watching your review I’m definitely getting one thanks
Make it a trend! Unbox some rocks every Wrecked Bike Rebuild episode O.O
the skylift is awesome. but ill want that lift of wbr. my levitation needs are covered by used of a ceiling and rachet straps.
Both would be optimal but for general maintainance the ABBA skylift would be my choice.
I wish this would work for cruisers. I would buy one today
its a great stand. but as the bike sits on there now. you cant touch your rear sets or anything on the sides. possibly remove the fairing also.
I'm going to buy one of them now thanks for sharing chase
I don't know what it is, but it looks kinda sketchy lol
its an Abba Skylift incase you were wondering
Likewise, but I looked it up, and there are no straps involved on their website, and it looks quite a bit less sketchy without them.
Double Deal Its not. Its made in England. idiot
It looks awesome but are you sure is is that solid? At the minute 20:16 the attachment looks a bit unstable….
You can take off the swingarm easier with the Abba than other lifts. I’m saving up for one
But.. what does Brain think of it?
That’s one big rock
Abba stands are awesome, but you did make it look hard work :-)
Ok if you don’t have a garage and a rough 30 year old asphalt driveway would you still pick this as your first way to lift your bike?
I wud kind of be worried leaving the bike overnight my rear stand bent for no reason and all i did was lift it 1nce every 2 weeks
So, are you still using it in current year? Are you still happy with it? Can you still recommend it?
Aliens watch us silly humans fumbling and bumbling through life, the same way we watch Chase fumbling and bumbling anything that requires a wrench lol
How much are they? And where can I buy one in the USA?
Daytona 500? That was my first bike in 1973. Was a 72 Daytona 500. Best handling bike I've ridden. Took to the end of the video to notice. Didn't look even close to the old model.
How much you want for the Brozak helmet
Luv your set up, man!!
It still looks like you have not strapped it correctly cause I thought you used a short strap at the back ( the one with two loops ) around your swing arm spool and to the lift . I might be wrong as never used but I wait to see your other films using it cause I do know it will go horizontal , front end up or back wheel up for taking them out . funny watching you brake it and being sent the full ram again . I think you should ask them to come and check it and maybe show you how to use it correctly lol
What if you need the entire bike lifted and need to work on the center/middle components? Seems like that bike lift is in the way of all of that.
I have just subscribed solely for entertainment value!! Keep up the good work
Hey Chase! Would you happen to know any reputable shops in or around the Atlanta area that can rebuild a motor with ease?
what bike and how deep of an engine rebuild are we talking about here?
chaseontwowheels Omg you replied!! Haha I’ve been a fan of your channel for years now. But it’s a 07 CRF250R that’s being converted into a supermoto, it recently slung a rod through the cases so it needs a bottom end rebuild and probably a top end rebuild as well
Run over to your nearest Mountain Motorsports and explain the situation to the techs there. I can tell you its probably going to be pretty expensive. Another option is to head to the parts counter and order all the parts needed and do the work with a buddy that knows how to do a rebuild like that. Message me with an update when you can.
chaseontwowheels Hey Chase! So Mountain motorsports route, definitely expensive, for the costs I could go buy a super sport! But I figured that, but I did find a reputable shop out in Braselton that’s going to completely rebuild the motor for less than 2k, it’s called Adams Motorsports, I haven’t been down there yet because I’m waiting to take my engine down there, plus it’s a bit far from me without having a car, but they seem very honest and knowledgeable and that’s the best quote thus far. I thought about doing it myself but since it’s going to be mostly for street use I’d rather make sure everything is done correctly the first time around. I’ll definitely keep you updated on the progress as the build goes along, while the engine is out I’ll be doing some cosmetic work and etc and shortly after putting everything back together. Can’t wait to participate in a meet up once it’s all finished and I really appreciate the responses that means alot
@@davidjohnson3006 super super late but couldn't you just find another complete engine for 2k?
Personally I like the ABBA Superbike Pack 3 over the sky lift. Less bulk, still lifts my bike off the ground for wheel changes, and less height (aka fall over potential)
Looks neat, but i would take a traditional lift. Its nice that they have amazing customer service. I wish more companies were like that and cared about their customers. It does seem quality and all but it doesn't seem as stable as a traditional lift for really wrenching on things. Also i wouldn't roll the bike around at the max height. You want the center of gravity as low as possible for stability.
Is this good for a Hayabusa? Looks ace!
the lift is still better as it gives you more access to a lot of things, especially the left side of the bike.
New term learned today. Chase proofing my garage on the new house, lol!!!!
Just a couple of things with this video:
1. Horizontal = side to side
2. *Vertical* = up and down
i want both Chase. but witch (he he he) one works best with a victory vision, I will have to find out. thanks for showing us this.
What happened to the adventure series? I was excited to see what happened after buying the new bikes
What kind of table is that over your tool box?
Between the abba life the the harbor freight lift, personal I’d take the later.
That's a cool lift, but I would rather have the platform lift for the tool space. I also feel like I would have to break everything loose before I use the aerial lift because I wouldn't be able to get leverage. Think back to how you tried to get the chain off on the ZX10.
I'd still prefer the regular lift but I would still buy the Abba lift due to your review
Bad ass helmets. Where you get the helmet stands
Will it do a harley?
hi.. i am from the philippines. can you help me to buy abba skylift? and how much..where is the store?
Anytime you needed to break a nut loose you would have to lower though, could become a huge pain.
Hands down, I want only the Sky-Lift.
@5.09 = immediate like. Loving your vids man. Keep it up!
Abba customer car is absolutely amazing in my experience
I want to hear brian's opinion of this thing
Would you say this was better than using a ramp? I'm trying to decide whether to get the abba skylift or a proper hydraulic ramp. Obviously the abba let's you work on the front end
How much did the lift cost?
I like how high it goes up, im sold
Lemme tell you something: I've watched heaps of guys doing motorcycle reviews, but you're the only one that doesn't sound like an idiot. I've been watching your videos over the years, and every time I watch someone else’s, my head automatically says ''nah, Chase is more self confident, use better words and knows what he's doing''. Keep it up, you do a great job man.
Dose anyone know if that would work with a cruiser bike?
Hey Chase I know you put this video out like over 2 years ago but I'm curious as to where I can get that workbench/table that your tool box is under? That is dope as hell
it be hard to do sprocket work with this lift...
I don't know but couldn't you just lift the bike from the other side so the chain/ sprocket is facing the other way?
Chase, I feel there is a design flaw to it. What happens when you press against the bike to tighten some bolt, wouldn't it just move around or does it come with some stopper or anchor?
The wheels of the stand have push locks on them.
