ok i know there are paddack stands etc but
is that what you all use
the thing is i wanna take my wheels off to get done but also remove my rear swingarm to check it all out and respray

ive been looking about not sure whats the best way of attacking it

im from an mx background normaly bang a stand under the middle and jack the bitch up but uh oh fairing and pipes in the wrong place lol

any help would be great guys

You'll be wanting an Abba stand then.

get them googled, cheap on ebay and by all accounts the dogs dangly bits.

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 the abba stand. i was lucky enough to get one off a member on her for about seventy pounds IIRC

+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).

abba stands rock!!! wouldnt be without mine now.
well worth the money imo.

+1 for going direct from abba, most usefull piece of kit ive ever brought

thanks guys ive just bought one

Try servicing your rear hub assembly with your stand fitted! :D
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.
