ABBA Bike Stand
Discussion
I didnt fancy struggling with a paddock stand and risking scratching the swing arm so I picked up an Abba Bike stand... I've bought the swing arm removal kit as well just in case...
Happy with it so far... simple to put together and to use, and the bikes nice and stable on it..
The company were good to deal with as well which is nice... answering all my daft questions !!!
a couple of pics for you

nice bike and got to agree with the ABBA stand. I also have the one for the front but found it crap. So just bought a Biketech headstock stand. only prob it they give you 13-18mm bolts to fit in the head stcok and my is 23mm. so waiting for that to arrive and give it a go with the ABBA stand
the only thing you need from one bike to the next is £14 bits that fit to the stand. they fit flush with the swing arm bolts. I think I got that right.
So no need to change a paddock stand like I have to in the past, just see if the ABBA bolts fit. if not a ring to ABBA or check on fleabay

I use the abba stands, can be a bit fiddly but they are sturdy once up.
One thing to note is if you have an older stand (mine is about 5 years old) and need a new set of adapters then make sure you ring them up and let them know you have an older stand.
The reason for this being that they changed the outer diameter of the tbing used for the part that the adapters go into and thus the outer diammeter of the adapters has increased. I found this out when mine came through and I had to flap wheel and file the bits to get them to fit (I was in a pinch and needed to get the back wheel off sharpish!). When I emailed ABBA they let me in on the secret ha ha!
