Bike stands

Post by trottski »

Hi,

Are there any better deals available than this: http://www.motorcycle-road-and-race.co. ... _id=401974" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for a NC30 stand or would an Abba Superbike stand be a better choice? I'm guessing the Abba would be more useful for doing things like changing the fork seals, which I will need to do very soon.

The ABBA is the business!

I use it on 3 different bikes and only have to change the adaptor pack. Putting bikes on the stand is very stable and a true 1 man (or woman) operation.

I normally use a Front paddock stand but when I have removed forks I have simply blocked the engine up and it is very stable.

Go for the ABBA if you have the money, will lend itself to more than just one bike.

and £80? omg!

You can pick those up on fleabay for around £50 from a dealer or like me for £12 second hand :)

Thanks guys. I think I'll go for the Abba unless I win a second hand NC30 stand on ebay for a lot less then £80.

Any idea if the Ducati stands like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0245379142" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; fit ok or will I need a new pin?
