Didn't quite get round to doing what I was supposed to on Friday, so maybe I'll get round to it this weekend instead

Did it come with adaptors for the "Kiddie Coup'e"???

I'm sure the youngest might make it fit

i can honestly say i could not live without my ABBA stand, the front lift adaptor however.... is ok but not great.

top tip when using the front lift, make sure that you fully ram home the front stay or things get a bit wobbly. the front lift works better when you use with the swingarm spindle bobbins and not the swingarm removal bobins.

the front lift is however superb for getting in there to clean the front wheel and changing tyres.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I got it, apart from me needing the front end of the Raptor off the floor. I had the brass, so thought why not have that too.
I'll bear the top tip in mind. I really don't want any wobbles going on, I've enough to repair without that falling over!

Love my Abba stand with the front lift.
Made getting to the green connector (Lances from below method) a damn sight easier when I was faffing with my wiring.

Today I have been mostly playing with carbs. With the track bike having stolen the carbs out of the road bike, the track carbs have had to be apart to solve a running issue. With a damaged diaphragm replaced hopefully it'll be fine now.

3 jobs today:
Replace foot peg on a mate's sv - easy.
Rebuild front brake calipers and put in new pads - easy.
Several hours tidying the garage - Oof!
