I prepared 2 lengths of aluminium bar of 20mm diameter with a 8 x 1.25 thread, 25mm deep. I then milled out the arm to accept the bar. as the arm legs are not symetrical one cutout is deeper than the othe, but just measure from the axle centre down.
I then welded the bar into place, lick of paint, job done.
Agreed but as stated paddock stands are generally a little unstable particularly at that lifting moment when either at the front or back of the bike , there is always a heart in mouth moment but not so with the Abba.

Thats look nice a very neat job Ghost. simple, easy to use and stable. Ive never been a fan of Russ Abba stands - but I can see the point in using one if you have no stand bobbins on the rear.
