Re: what stands to buy?????????
i would double check your costs from getting on ebay.
was tracking them for a few months before i bought direct from abba. going by ebay prices, after getting the stand, and cost of delivery, in most cases you need to get a different fitting kit(including swingarm removal kit), it ended up costing more on the bay every time. but then again you might strike lucky. i just lost patience and went on abbas website

+1 for Abba also, I have a paddock stand too, but now never use it! It's just as easy to put it on the Abba and it's more stable. (I purchased direct from Abba also).

Try servicing your rear hub assembly with your stand fitted! :DSpike16 wrote:i have a rear padock stand that came with my bike, and i can get that on and off on my own easily, what the apeal of the abba stand?
The Abba stand can fit just about any bike and is much more solid than a single sided paddock stand.
To raise the front wheel you can get another stand from Abba to do just that or jack it up using a car jack.
Abba stands are money very well spent.
