Abba stand are they worth the money? - SV650.org

15-01-13, 04:35 PM

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.

Yes, every penny

Completely worth it. If you're going to get serious with pulling the bike to bits look at a headstock stand too.

absolutely fantastic bits of kit, can be had cheap on ebay too...wish I'd thought of looking there before I bought off Abba haha

I'll be buying the front end lifting kit for when I eventually do the gsxr front end conversion

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.

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

Yes get one.
