Just been having a look around for a lift and the ones at Repco and Autobarn are approx $260 for a 680kg lift.

Does any one know if there are better deals out there at the moment??

Paul just wait a week or two then they go on special again for $150 :evil:

If you ask the guy in the shop he will tell you when they are going on again, that`s what i did with Repco.

Is there a way to fit a center stand on a 3AJ? I'd really like the peace of mind of being able to work on my bike in the field when it inevitably breaks without jamming another givi case or big ass rock under the skid plate.

Hi Mezo,

Thanks for that :thanks: . I actually read some of my junk mail earlier in the week and saw the sale.

I had to drop into ARB to get some warranty fixes for my car this morning and then shot straight round to Repco in Clayton and picked one up . They had about 8 in stock at 9:00am this morning.

I was thrown by how heavy they are, nearly dropped it off the counter, or maybe I'm just getting old :scratch:

no your not getting old they are real heavy buggers to lift (i struggled) but thats what you want when you have a bike on top (nice heavy base).

Here's a lift I made to get the wheel off the ground, it was'nt high enough initially so I stuck another bit on the top.
