Abba stands are great
Discussion
I cleaned my chain and lubricated it this afternoon - looked like the chain had never been cleaned judging by the black liquid that drained from the chain after spraying it with chain cleaner!
Cleaning and lubing the chain gave me the chance to try out my new Abba stand and I have to say, they are amazing - as good as everyone on here says they are! It was virtually no effort at all to raise or lower my Hornet, I imagine much easier than trying to get a paddock stand under the two swingarms.
I particularly like the idea that it's future proof for any bike I own later - all you need is a different fitting kit and they are cheap.
Here's a pic:
Very impressed. The only downside is that the paint finish seems to scratch easily, but it's a tool, not a museum piece.

My god Sos, you have carpet in the garage and even a little house for your leathers....quality!Cleaning and lubing the chain gave me the chance to try out my new Abba stand and I have to say, they are amazing - as good as everyone on here says they are!

ps - Abba's are the only way forward.

I think my wife got fed up of my jacket, trousers and leathers hanging around the house. It's one of those self assembly steel framed wardrobes that you can buy from Argos.ps - Abba's are the only way forward.
The carpet - I used to seal and paint the garage floor when I had my Caterhams - I hated dusty garage floors when working on the car. Problem was that the sticky tyres pulled the paint off the floor, so I decided to go with carpet tiles for the bike.
Bought packs of them from B&Q - they do packs of them in their "value" range. Unfortunately I couldn't find an office that was being refitted as I probably could have scrounged some for beer tokens!

Nothing, just buy the correct kit and its sorted mate.
Simon, pop along to http://www.abbastands.co.uk/product_details.asp?id... and pop your bike details into the fitting kit wizard.Some bikes don't need a fitting kit, some bikes only need an adapter for one side and others need adapters for both sides.
