If you have the skills and the tools, it is easy to build.
The most expensive part of my build was the castors.

Abba Skylift
- Thread starter dub 24
- Start date
I've had the ST1300 up on the Skylift to start (hopefully) its long recommissioning procedure. As I already had the locking bolt removed from the LH pivot, I used the 19mm adapter rather than the little 8mm pin. The bike will be getting replacement forks, windshield mechanism, ECU, locks, ignition switch, and various other bits.
I've given sizes for the 1100 in post #103 on this thread.

Throwing another data point in here. I reached out to confirm it was going to work for the 13, they put it together and sent an invoice. Ordered and shipped the same day, It would have arrived in two days but the 2nd day was a US holiday. Thank you @Mellow Joe for reminding me it's in a box in the corner of the garage. Read the directions and put it together, a few exchanges with Joe about the actual connecting and lifting and up she went, like a pig at a roast.
Penelope giving a little encouragement
Both wheels up
Strap to keep it level, faith to keep it safe.
I picked this for it cost and footprint, take off two legs and put it against the wall. Not sure if changing the oil will be easier or harder but I won't be on a knee much. Seems to be out of the way for everything I need to get to. I'm going to pull the shock again and fix the routing of the cable, change some lights and the usual brake and clutch flush.

That's real nice, and it's on my list.
Lessee... Skylift, or airbag vest?
About the same outlay.
Hmmm. And I only cracked one rib on my sandy bodyslam Saturday with the North Alabama boys.
I'm leaning towards the Skylift.
I have 2 big bikes for the lift... and still have 23 ribs in original condition.
