Re: Abba stand are they worth the money?
If you can find one, buy an NWS stand instead - it's better.

Re: Abba stand are they worth the money?
I've got an Abba stand with about six different adapters and it fits most bikes, SV's curvy and pointy, 929 Blade, BlackBird, CBR400, Ninja G2, CB750, ER6f (I think)
Great bit of kit, I wouldn't be without it

Re: Abba stand are they worth the money?
Its only ever worth it when you need it and it makes a job better. If taking of the rear wheel, chain, subframe without hassle its worth it.

Re: Abba stand are they worth the money?
To answer the question: Abba stand are they worth the money? I'd have to honestly say no.
If you're buying it new its £100, you'll then want the SV fittings kit thats another £25, and/or the Swing arm removal kit is another £25, if you want to get the front wheel off you also need something else which used to be a headstock paddock stand but now you have the abba arm which is another £50 So would I consider £200 "worth the money" I certainly would not, not when for £30 and a bit of your own time you can get the front and rear off the ground using just timber. This subject has been mentioned before and as I said before... watch this space. |

Aye maria said the power man was there the other day.
Judging by the welding setup pic you sent me I assumed we were heading towards a weekend at your labour camp again soon enough. |

Re: Abba stand are they worth the money?
£80 delivered incl the SV adaptor (no swingarm kit). Agreed, adapters & extra's can be expensive. However for this price & the fact its been on the bike for weeks whilst I work on all the bits and peices, solid as a rock, its worth it. If I had the skills or means to mod something up I would. If I saw a better alternative I'd consider it. But for ease of use and cost (what I paid) it was worth it.
