I don’t have room in my garage for a full table lift so bought a Big Blue. Unfortunately, they don’t make an adapter kit for Guzzi. I looked at the Abba Sky Lift but, frustratingly, they too don’t make a kit for Guzzi. I want to be able to lift the bike and also retain access to the sump (tired of crawling around on the floor). Can I ask what you folk do? Thanks.

Do you have the luxury of a pit in your garage or a good friend with one ? I stand my Cali over the pit and the sump is easily removed. Same idea for rear wheel removal, you still have to remove a silencer but then you can lower the wheel down with the bike safe on the centre stand.

I roll my V11s into a rear wheel chock which holds the bike upright, then crawl around on the floor under the bike 🤣
If you find a stand that works with a V11 or Griso please let me know, as I’d prefer not to grovel around on the floor

There is a stand which lift the bike via the nuts at the bottom of the “pork chops “ mines sits it when not in use. Check the internet
