Abba stand are they worth the money?
Hi all, I was going to go and buy a paddock stand from my local shop tomorrow but about ten more mins up the road and I would be at Abba so was wondering if they are worth the extra dosh?
Are they stable enough to work on the bike safely? Thanks for your replys. |

Re: Abba stand are they worth the money..
Completely worth it. If you're going to get serious with pulling the bike to bits look at a headstock stand too.

Re: Abba stand are they worth the money..
If you see one going cheap on ebay or gum tree but for the wrong bike, buy it then but the correct adaptor pins for it. I think the stand is the same apart from a few exotic single-siders.
BEWARE they also sell lifts for off-roaders. They are NOT what you are looking for. Neither is the front lifter thing that lifts on the exhaust header.

Re: Abba stand are they worth the money..
yeah it's just the connecting bolts/pins that you need, I believe the stand itself is universal minus SSSA bikes. they're honestly brilliant bits of kit. I'll also be buying the swing arm removal kit at some point as I bet it's gagging for a bit of loobing up
