Oops sorry missed that bit.
When did just putting really powerful electromagnets in the ceiling go out of fashion?

maybe you should consider
and go from there. If you have engine crash bungs too its then possible to balance the mo’cycle on the centre stand with both wheels off the ground by propping it up on the crash bungs

Abba skylift … For me …
But consider the abba motoglide kit
Solves the no centre stand issue for maintenance …
Can be used on multiple bikes
And packs down when not in use
Why risk your hard earned on a heath robinson

I never knew they did the Motoglide option, thinking about it I suppose it could be left on the skylift but not sure if long term that would be suitable for the bike, would certainly make servicing easier.
Only reason I like the paddock stands is the relatively small footprint, but then still left servicing the bike on your knees etc 
For anyone else that had no idea what Tim was on about

Skylift is good but if space is an issue it does take up a large footprint if not being used
Looked at these a while back £££ there is a Ad that keeps popping up using their video offering at £35.
God only knows what you would get for£35.
I intend to weld a bracket onto existing stands and fit 100mm dolly wheels to them. Should achieve a similar ability.

I have two stands a bit like the Abba (but dont go as high), one is 1jac, one is a constands, the constands one I can “fold up” by that I mean if you unscrew a bolt, the upright is hinged and will fold down, I then have it hanging on my wall on hooks.
1 pic is the 1jac, the BMW is on the constands.
I have left them like that for months over winter with no issues, it means I can push the bikes right up against the wall to save space.
Originally had one of those but the need to have the lifting adapters permanently attached to bike put me off plus it wouldn’t entertain my GTR .

I was a bit slow processing the claim for this. I’ve just done it on the PayPal website, and literally within a second of pressing submit on the claim form, I get told they have closed the case in my favour and are issuing a refund. That’s amazing customer service.
I wonder if they knew the shop was dodgy at some point, or if the value of the transaction was below a threshold not to require manual processing.

Happy days
Paypal has an automated claim system which always closes in favour of the customer and that is that unless the seller appeals the decision.
My experience, I sold a used ladies leather coat, received 5 star feed back, then one week later the buyer put in a claim for a refund. The case was immediately closed in favour of the buyer and to add insult to injury I was told to provide the return package label or let the customer keep the item. I appealed, my only evidence was the 5 star review and the claim was over turned in my favour.

Yeah Paypal are shits.
Struth me_groovy we’re in agreement, that don’t happen too often!
Apparently the trouble comes from the underlying financial system and regulations people like PayPal are subject to. The system biases towards buyers, so there’s not a huge amount people like PayPal can do.
I don’t know much about this, but @pricetta does (she works in Payments). Perhaps she can explain it better than me.
