ABBA Stand fittings

Has anybody used the fitting kit for the rearsets? these are used if you want to remove the swingarm.

I got the kit but havent used it yet

Yep, much better than the swingarm ones I think. Removed my swingarm last winter

il be using the stand in a couple of weeks to remove the swingarm so il test them out then.

As said they are very short, and if you fit the stand as in the abba video (with it on teh side stand) then the bike leans too much to get a decent fitment.

As far as I could tell it was all put in place, done up tight but as I raised the stand it fell off. I worked out the best way is to do it with the bike upright, so you can locate the pins fully.

Ive got the rearset mounts may well just use them next time

Then you'll see how little grease Mr Suzuki doesn't use on the bearings when he put it together

Check the shock pivot bearings on the swing arm too, because they get a lot more filth thrown at them.

I've left mine in place, as I can still ride about with them in place, although as I said, I've lost one of the other blighters

I would suggest that the mounts weren't sitting on the swingarm pivot bolt thingy correctly. If it's done up tight and they are fully engaged it can't slip off.

Brollydolly, where are you located? Perhaps somebody could loan you theirs so the lads in the workshop have the items to copy. Maybe knock up a few spares at the time...

If local ish to Heathrow you are welcome to borrow mine.

Mine didn't seem all that secure either come to think of it, what diameter are your's and what length are they to the chamfer, pretty please x
As i'll get a set made up longer than the originals.
