Title: Abba Skylift Adaptors
Post by: Smokegetsinyoureyes on Friday, 20 February 2026, 05:41 AM
Hi, has anyone got pictures or could post pictures of the adaptors for the abba skylift for lifting the gsx1400, I have the lift but I think I'm missing somthing for the r/h side. Top foto is what i have for right,the middle foto fits into the part in bottom foto and goes into the left side. The one for the right just doesnt seem right or is there another part that fits into it? Cheers, Neill.

The kit number for my 2003 bike, from memory, I think 07 onwards is a different kit

Thanks Dwain, seems I'm missing the smaller spigot pt no:042 although my spigots are other way round, prob depends what side of the bike your lifting from. I'd emailed Abba last night as I'd ordered a kit for my xjr too, they phoned today to say they would put the 042 in with the order as it was due out in 5mins, £10. Great customer service. Thanks again.Neill.

I always lift (have the jack) on the LHS as you sit on the bike as that's the way the strap attaches round the swing arm and/or the hub bobbin to lift the front end.
Anyway, I'm glad you got it sorted.  :onya:
