Abba centre stand.

Has anyone bought or used one of these
on there 749/999. As iam fed up fighting with my paddock stand.
If so is it easy for front /rear wheel removal.

They seem expensive but it could be the best bike tool you could buy,fitments for almost any bike.
I've got one and it does my 916,ss,rvf- my mates vfr,gsxr and hayabusa with the relevant fitting bolts.
Its also more stable than a paddock stand.

I have seen them advertised for about £90 pounds + fitments. Which if you can remove front/rear wheels, is not bad.

Got one myself for the M1000.

Just like using a centre stand. Great for rear wheel removal - but if taking out front wheel I would need to put a jack under it too.

Very stable stand, much better than my seperate front & rear ones

CK

ps - got mine almost new for £25!

I think it's going have to be my next purchase.

I agree with everything that has been said.Well made and finished and rare these days to find somethig thats value for money.I can now confidently get the bike on the stand on my own without the fear of the bike falling over.
Buy one you won't regret it.

Anyone got any tips?

bazzer sps · 19-Apr-2004, 16:08

O.K. Who wants an Abba stand? I bought one at last years Bike show NEC. Hardly used, like new. Bought it for my 888 which I have just sold. £50 with 2 sets of inserts +p&p if interested. Otherwise I'll keep it until my next bike. I can take a digi pic if required.
