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??

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.

Re: Bike lifts?
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.

Re: Bike lifts?
Yeah the latest 3AJ I've just bought has one fitted, its bolted on at the footrest mounting points... not sure if they'd be still avaiable though

Re: Bike lifts?
Hi Mezo,
Thanks for that
. 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
Paul

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).Paulba wrote: I was thrown by how heavy they are, nearly dropped it off the counter, or maybe I'm just getting old![]()

I don't make mistakes. I make prophecies which immediately turn out to be wrong.

Re: Bike lifts?
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.
