Instead of removing bits of bodywork on my AL7 to get the adaptors into the swingarm spindle I just use the bobbins for everything and the adaptors stay in a plastic bag on the garage wall....

The ABBA stand is an investment really, and allows bike to be stored over winter with wheels off the floor as well as being able to easily remove forks and swingarm. Basic stand with adaptors for SV is about £102, lift arm ( £45 ) and bobbins ( £15 ) it is really pretty good value.
I wasn't aware of the swingarm removal bobbins option, will look into that. I find removing panels to fit the adaptors on my 2020 sv650A a bit of a drag.
