XmisterIS Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 See here: http://www.abbastands.co.uk/product_details.asp?id=1I'm thinking of getting one because [a] my bike doesn't have a centrestand, I can't fit a centrestand without removing the bellypan and [c] a centrestand is ridiculously expensive for my bike!! (£60 more than the Abba stand).So, do you use one? Do you rate it?I don't want to get one, find that it only fits under the bike with a lot of wiggling and swearing, and then the bike falls off it! Lol! Quote
megawatt Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 These are the best stands you can buy mate. Bike won't fall off if you use the correct adaptors and if you wanted to, you could change your rear shock. Can't do that with a normal paddock stand. Quote
Stu Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I made something similar works a treat cost me nothing but my time use it more then my other 4 stands I have! Quote
XmisterIS Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 I made something similar works a treat cost me nothing but my time use it more then my other 4 stands I have! How did you do that then? You have welding equipment, I presume? I don't have anything like that, so I think I'll go for the Abba. Megawatt - I watched the vid on the website, it looks very easy to use. Quote
megawatt Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Got any drawings mate, wouldn't mind making one myself? Quote
Stu Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Drawings! Lol no I don't work off drawings I just get down and do it although mine was just knocked up in about an hour my brother made one for his bike and is better will see if I can get some pics Although they are both bike specific you could easily make one for your bike Quote
CheshireCBR Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I like the look of that, even thow i have got a Center stand and a rear paddock stand lol Quote
Tango Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Yeah I bought one a few months back....works a treat. Quote
megawatt Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Can you post some pix up please Bob. Gonna have a go at making one, when I get chance Quote
Tango Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 No probs Alan......probably not before the weekend though as it's dark when I go to work and dark when I get back... I'll get it from as many angles as I can, and close-ups on the important bits..... Quote
megawatt Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Cheers mate, I bought some 25mm square bar for another job that didn't happen, so I might as well make one of these. Been meaning to for a while Quote
Jonabonospen Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I got one for the ZZR1400 a few months back. Only used it once or twice so far but it seemed like a great bit of kit and very easy to use and very stable. Definitely recommend it over normal paddock stands thats for sure. Quote
TC Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I had one for the CBRGreat stands, alot better and more stable than a Paddock stand Quote
XmisterIS Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 I had one for the CBRGreat stands, alot better and more stable than a Paddock stand I find that the paddock stand can slip around and scratch the bottom of the swingarm. I solved that by tying two cut lengths of old bicycle inner tube around the cups that fit under the swingarm. Quote
