Abba is by far the best and most useful stand

Yes, it can be used on most bikes by using different spigots, and front or rear wheels can be raised up, just like the centre stand on the old bikes in fact.
It is very sturdy, I even ran my nc35 up to an indicated 60mph on it, but don't rcommend that :-0)

As a "paddock" stand I don't find my Abba stand at all useful. As a workshop stand it's not bad. If I want to take the back wheel off a 30 or hold the bike upright I just use a single sided stand. I use the Abba on other bikes that don't have centre stands though.

ABBA for workshop - wood + scissor jack if you need the front up (take care :P ) for the track, the OXFORD ones are cheap, but heavy... personally, I prefer the Harris stands... just a better bit of kit IMHO.*


*(Mods- is IMHO ok? :P )

I got myself an ABBA stand. Any chance someone could take a pic to show how the proper NC30 fitting kit fits please. I've got a lathe so will probably turn some adaptors to suit.
The kit with the stand (s/h) was for a ducati. the one will fit inside the bolt on the RHS of the bike, it's the left side I'm still guessing at!
