HAT Stand

I've been looking around for a decent bike jack for my Honda Africa Twin.

I removed my centre stand in favour of an Altrider Skid plate, with extension through to the back wheel. With the stuff I'm riding over, I'm glad I did.

However, it's such a heavy bike I needed an easy way to securely lift it, to take wheels off, chain maintenance etc.

So I bought one of these... SEALEY MC4500 MOTORBIKE LIFT

(It was rated as 2.5 stars, but mainly from moaning buyers about the fact you have to part-build it when it arrives).

But I've been using it and it's rock solid and very stable.

Some more pics while it was in use today,

Very easy to use with the foot pump lever, and smoothly lowers to the ground

When it's lowered back onto is lockout levers, the bike is just off the ground, so it's perfect for wheel removal.
