Re: Paddock Stands

Yeah, but not much point having tyre warmers for the sake of going out for a blast, and a fairing? On MY bike???

Abba stand is what fit's my needs best at the moment.

Re: Paddock Stands

I've got an Abba type stand fr major wokshop use, but use a normal hook type stand day to day. I need a prong type (Champion) front stand though, so that's one of my 'to buy' things.

And if you are using tyre warmers and have a race fairing, so can't block the front up (without risking damage to fairing or taking it off) no use at all!! :D

I have a 2wheeljunkies full fairing on the 750 and I use the NWS stand to prop her up and a piece of wood under the fork leg if I want to quickly have a look at the front end without taking the lower fairing off. A NWS/ABBA stand will do your job easily mate!

Although a great bit of kit and has its uses, its simply not suitable (well best suited) for trackday use or daily use ...

Sorry Blue I would agree with your comment completely, just stating that it could be done.

I too have a rear paddock stand for the quick rear wheel and chain jobs, the NWS/ABBA stands do take a little longer to set up but they do hold the bike more stable and allow for both front and rear wheel serviceing!

Re: Paddock Stands

I now have a hook type rear paddock stand (ideal for just getting the rear wheel off the floor quickly for tyre changes etc.), the folding 2 part biketek headstock stand (aside from being extremely easy to use single handeldy, it takes up no more storage space when folded up than a normal paddock stand) and an Abba stand for more serious work/getting the swingarm out. I have one of the traditional type front paddock stands too which is now redundant and I will be selling shortly.

Can you just put the abba in back to front to get the front up then, or are you referring to using it in conjunction with some sort of jack (or their horrifically overpriced front lift)?
