1Jac motorcycle lift

  1. Who the hell wants to own their own house...

    Find a cheap mortgage until the day you die, spend the rest on enjoying the journey.

    With house appreciation over the years there will still be enough equity in the property to pay off the mortgage and your funeral.

    Don't bother struggling now, just enjoy your life before your stone dead

    In my opinion if you die rich having saved all your money, you got the whole thing wrong.

    anyone seen the version abba are doing now not sure what i think
    at first i thought expensive but great as its easier to use for mutiple bikes
    then i watched the video and thought what a pain in the arse that is to use and also i could just buy a abba stand and weld a frame up and fit a jack and save around £250 and use a better jack (or air ram) than they use
    i wonder just how many pumps it takes to lift fully up

    makes the 1jac look really good value for money
    abba have rrushed a good idea and made a error on this in my opinion

    In summary:

    The 1JAC stand seems to only raise the bike about 6"- 8" and costs £339.
    The Abba stand can raise the bike horizontally to about 18" and costs £379.
    A hydraulic stand ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoxHunter-Hydra ... ycle+bench ) can raise the bike to 30" and costs £289.
    I know a couple of guys, one being an ex student of mine, that could lift my toy up to about 36". The cost for that would be me taking a photo that proved they did it which would go on FaceFriend, and a cuppa. Maybe a tub of protein powder too.
     
  5. i do like the tilting option though that the abba sky lift offers, i know a hydraulic lift would do the same but i don't have the space for one of them!

    this whole discussion has got me thinking about ditching my normal abba stand and getting a 'lift' stand instead.

    The triumph kit must be very recently added. I ordered one 2weeks ago. Not heard anything from dt other than the order was received.
    Was going to get the pin made up.might add the early 675 kit and see if it can be adapted.
     
  8. shame its only for the 06-12 models

    ive just been on the demon tweekes sight again and they are listed as pre order ive sent them a email to see what the delivery time is
    if you add the stand and pin kit to the basket delivery is showing as £7.50 via tracked courier service so a total price of £137.49 cant be a bad deal at that
    when i was intouch with sv racing in usa last year we had to get 10 or more to get there price down to around £230 i think it was and that was to delivery to 1 place in the uk

    they are due a large delivery of stands are due in 10th of march
     
  11. I have been reading this thread with great interest. Have been looking for this type of thing for while. It'd be great for spinning the bike around in the shed. Anyway I have just ordered the stand and adapter from demon tweeks so will post opinion when it arrives....

    im thinking i might order 1 before they are in stock too
    im interested for a few reasons but 1 is that at present i have to back my bike out and down a ramp before i can ride away with this i can turn it round before i move it down the ramp much easier to get the bike out

    Got a email from Deamontweeks. Seams the castors on the latest stands were substitute without there knowledge. So they are going to send a revised set.
    The pre 2013 daytona kit fitted my bike (non R or ABS) Just fine. All I had to do was swop the engine bolt orientation to put the nut on the left side of the bike.
    Bargain

    i did buy the stand but got refund before the recall on the castors
    when lifting the bike it leaned away from the stand the top pin slide out about 20mm and wouldnt lift the front wheel clear of the ground aparantly some of the pin kits might have been packed wrong as theres been a few different bikes with fitting problems
    the stand itsself looked fine for the money i would love 1 but not at the price of a 1 jac or abba skylift still not sure if i should try the constands version for £240 i do like how it flods up if you want to store it
     
  16. I got mine and the emails from demon tweeks warning me not to use it. Lost confidence in the product and asked for a refund. I have to say throughout all this, demon tweeks have been great, they're going to arrange a courier to pick it up FOC.
    I think I'm going to make do without a stand. I think money would be better spent on new rear tyre...
