"They didn't pay me,but sent me this $750 lift for free" lol

you should have emailed them about the fitment issue, they might have sent you another stand with a bike attached to it! lol

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

Thanks abba for bringing Chase and his bikes to new heights!

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

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.

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 👍

Thanks Chase, good to see the process from unboxed to suspended motorcycle, warts and all. You did well.

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.

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.

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.

i do have a question would this still work on lowered streched bikes? i have a lowered zx14r with a swingarm?

Good to see you heard me and bought a stand to lift the whole bike :D

Yeah i can guarantee if i broke that piece they would not replace it free of charge.

They are soooooo nice. They would do this to everyyyyyonnee.... right?

Quality products from ABBA , Nice to know the group are doing good things after not singing anymore.

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 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.

Can you convince them to send one my way? 🧐

Chase, what floor mat do you have under the harbor freight lift? Does it help to stop the lift from moving on a slick floor?

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

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!

Another quality Chase product. Great Job!

hey nice video, can jou put de pomp on die odersite for replacing chain and sprokets thanks

I'm going to buy one of them now thanks for sharing chase

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?

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

Congratulations on 800k Chase

Make it a trend! Unbox some rocks every Wrecked Bike Rebuild episode O.O

Perfect after watching your review I’m definitely getting one thanks

So, are you still using it in current year? Are you still happy with it? Can you still recommend it?

Luv your set up, man!!

Hey chase what type of flooring do you have in your garage?

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.

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

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!

hi.. i am from the philippines. can you help me to buy abba skylift? and how much..where is the store?

Chase, did yours ship from UK or is there a distribution warehouse located in the US?

How much are they? And where can I buy one in the USA?

What kind of table is that over your tool box?

and a British brand too! I have heard of these stands , my mate has one. Obviously well worth the money!

What happened to the adventure series? I was excited to see what happened after buying the new bikes

It looks awesome but are you sure is is that solid? At the minute 20:16 the attachment looks a bit unstable….

the skylift is awesome. but ill want that lift of wbr. my levitation needs are covered by used of a ceiling and rachet straps.

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

I ordered 1 yesterday, so glad I didn’t watch your video 1st 😂😂 I watched the ABBA stand videos on assembly and use

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.

literally breath taking.

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

What's the white and red Yamaha off to the side . That's a real nice looking bike .

I have just subscribed solely for entertainment value!! Keep up the good work

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! 😉

Dose anyone know if that would work with a cruiser bike?

What Yamaha is in the background?

What tires does he have on his 250x?

you FINALLY got the skylift xD I remember i tagged you in a post on instagram but don't think you ever saw it.

That's excellent customer service to prove they back up there products one hundred percent.

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.

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

Abba stands are awesome, but you did make it look hard work :-)

Will it work with the Harley Davidson?🤔

How much you want for the Brozak helmet

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 👍

New term learned today. Chase proofing my garage on the new house, lol!!!!

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've got the ABBA superbike stand and it's super useful.

How much did the lift cost?

I'd still prefer the regular lift but I would still buy the Abba lift due to your review

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

Hey Chase, I've been looking at bike stands for a while and considered this one before except it doesn't support my Harleys. Can you give J&S Jacks a call and see if they'll hook you up for a video? PS: If it's awesome and you don't need it, I'll take it off your hands :)

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.

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

Bad ass helmets. Where you get the helmet stands

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)

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

That’s one big rock

Great Tuco impression Chase. 😂

I like how high it goes up, im sold

Will it do a harley?

I have been looking at one of these for a long time, and im finally close to finishing my new garage! :-) Any chance you could hook your subscribers up with a good deal on one?

Yo this stand is sick I have the Constand it may be time to upgrade 🤔.

Both would be optimal but for general maintainance the ABBA skylift would be my choice.

nice garage bro!! amazing

Exactly. When a guy like this starts to recommend a tool because he got it for free, I'm not convinced. Especially if most of the usage is sketchy as anything.

I dunno, it's how I would go on with it as well, it's more a reality check for us mere mortals!

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

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.

But.. what does Brain think of it?

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

You can take off the swingarm easier with the Abba than other lifts. I’m saving up for one

Hi Chase, like your vids!

your in Atlanta? i own a shop in Peachtree City. I do automotive and motorcycle repair

Is this good for a Hayabusa? Looks ace!

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.

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

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.

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.
