£20 I think. But only needed if you want to remove the swingarm.

Ar*e, thats what I bought it for. I knew I shouldnt have drunk that pint before going shopping! The whole idea was to remove the swing arm to give it a good clean and regrease the bearings over winter. Ah well, you live and learn.

If you want, you're welcome to a lend of mine, but to be honest by the time you pay postage there and back you'd be halfway to buying your own.

I bought one of these at the NEC on Saturday and being the cheeky sod I am I even asked for discount on the show price.... Guess what..... I got another £5 off!

The stand looks awsome and the Abba guy's are great!

Personally I have an NWS Ultipro, they are a little more stable than the Abba superbike stand but both are excellent! If you plan to remove the swingarm and want to do it simply then buy the Abba as you can also buy an adaptor which will allow you to. If you use your brain you might be able to fabricate or notice a way of using the NWS in the same way.

Oh... NWS ain't NWS any more, bought by Pyramid I think for the huggers.

I doubt he sold many/if any for under that. It seemed that circa £80 was the lowest he(the man with the eyebrows and Jeremy Clarkson forehead) was prepared to go.
