It's a no brainer, I'm getting an Abba stand.

Thanks Barwel.

Informed opinions my ar$e. Why did nobody else suggest that? Think out of the box people ;-) :lol:

But I'm a less than 20 minutes and 3 miles kinda guy who thinks scott oilers aren't necessary on every bike...maybe if I end up doing lots of miles I'll get one when I buy my next C&S in 2 years time...

If you're going to buy an Abba new ring the order in and mention the forum cause you'll get 10% off! That's what I did :thumbsup:

The abba stand has a very dodgy way of connecting to my bike (SSSA), and the only other real option that wasnt so cheap I didnt trust it was the DP one.

Abba stands are defo cool for the right bike.

Really? So the swinging arm pivot is not there on both sides of the bike? I would have thought that single sided or not the pivot would be available to use as with DSSA...? Curious, especially as I was thinking of a triple for the next bike and would think I could get the new abba adapters for it (long long term)

edit: I am guessing that the pivot nut/bolts are not "connectable" for some reason?

G: not sure what you mean there... I've had my SSSA triumph up on the abba, and it was no different to the GSXR before it. What's odd about the motard?

I don't know what the fitting is on the triple but on my bike the abba stand fits to a solid hex nut... a solid hex nut which only has a depth of about 6mm for the stand connector to connect to. Which to me does not appear sufficient or safe and the bike could easily fall off. Defo worth checking the fittment before ordering.

Wow, 6mm isn't much at all...especially if you have to have the stand further apart too...I see why you'd be a little concerned

Just one word of warning here ....... Abba wrap their stands up very well , in about 130 yards of shrink wrap , sharp knife and extract stand in an orderly fashion , don`t go at it like Jack the Ripper otherwise you will scratch the paint on the stand

It will take you longer to get into the stand than it will to do whatever job you needed the stand for!

Aye , I`ve changed Chain and Sprockets quicker than getting an Abba stand out of the packaging
