abba's are universal... you just buy the fitments/pins (whatever you wanna call them) for your specific bike.. which is good, cos if you change bikes you just buy a set of pins that fit your new bike.. the pins are about £17 per bike... but some pins do fit more than one particular model..

even with an abba stand you will still need a front paddock stand or some thing to support the front to take front wheel off. You could get one of their front lifts, but they are 56 quid !!

I much prefer my headstock stand as it allows the removal of the forks.
Wasnt too much much money off ebay but I did have to get my own pin made up to fit the nc30
