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?

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.
