For sale or swap sv1000 abba adapters

[DomP]

I've bought an abba superbike stand with sv1000 adapters 2nd hand but need sv650 adapters. Any one wasn't these or swap them for 650 ones? I presume they are a different fitment. £15?

Did you test them on your bike to see if the SV1K adapters fit the SV650?

They don't there's a guide on the Abba site to which ones fit numerous models.

i got the swingarm removal fitting kit which lives permanently on the bike.

Yeah they don't fit my imaginary sv650:). Test soon so hopefully the 125 may be making way.

Picked up an abba stand for £40 second hand, good condition, well chuffed! Going to end up paying more for adapters and swing arm removal kit than I payed for the stand itself! How often do second hand 650 adapters pop up Or do I just bite the bullet and get new ones off eBay for £20?

I got used adapters for 12.99 on Ebay on a buy it now coming this week. I feel bad now considering I don't have an SV- yet.

Is the swing arm kit useful then?

Is the swing arm kit useful then?
yes very. as you WILL need to service the swingarm bearing at some point. if its a second hand bike with more then 10,000 miles on it then they will be shot. if its a new bike then strip the swingarm off and grease them up properly and do this every 3-4rd service. better servicing them than buying new ones as the price is around £200 for the whole lot of bearings.

Wow £200 for swing arm bearings, I thought my 182 spares were expensive.
