ABBA stands are ok if you are working on the bike, but it takes 2 to 5 minutes to get in place. Whereas a paddock stand, 5 seconds and walk away.

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.

Could always go this route with the early 749/999 arm

Whats the difference between the black and grey swing arms other than the obvious !

skidlids · 01-Mar-2013, 19:30

Quite a bit besides the colour and the price

Have a look at these two on Ebay you can see they are very different

So presumably the black swinger is vastly superior in the handling dept. due to icreased stiffness ect .
Is £500 the going rate ?

I'm sure its more in the aesthetics the grey one is cast and is very stiff, whereas the black is a fabrication. I would think you would need to be Carlos Checa's team mate to notice any difference in handling between the two of them.

On the back of that, how do you get bobbins to attach to the front, been really struggling on the front with a crap front paddock stand.......
