Great for cleaning though, with my hip and knee probs the top half of my bike is alot more shiny than the bottom
It looks good if that's the type of lift you want. Of my varied types of stand, the abba is the one I use the least; I find it a bit awkward & it can get in the way. It can limit working on certain parts of the bike (you cannot remove the swingarm or engine mount in some cases unless you use the rearset adapters; then you cannot remove the rearsets!). You can't beat a good platform lift, even if its just somewhere to place parts & tools on whilst working.
Abba never had any deals on at the NEC the prices you paid were exactly the same as if you were buying via their website! Well except for P&P on the smaller items that you could take away with you from the show! I still came away with the front arm lift attachment for my abba stand tho!
