    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.

  • @mick1167
    @mick1167 6 років тому +2

    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 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!

  • @World-Superbike

    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

    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 👍

    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

  • @freemensestates5079
    @freemensestates5079 6 років тому

    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.

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 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

    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.

    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

      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.
