Yes - awesome bits of kit
Yep, use it when working on my customers' bikes and our own at home. Invaluable bit of kit for me. So good the Missus had bought a second one (I pinched the first one she got).
They are excellent pieces of kit Don.
So easy to use and no interference at back of bike like you get with a normal rear paddock stand.
Several guy s I know in various bike businesses all rate them highly [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Just takes a bit longer (60 sec instead of 20 sec) to put the bike up but once on it it's rock solid. TBh normally I'll still just use the rear paddock when parking the bike, but the abba is great when working on it
the only thing with the abba stand is.. how do you lift the front with it?
Yep got one that we use for my Gixer and my wifes RVF400. Spot on piece of kit.
I got one - it's brilliant!!! I can use it all by myself ;D :o ;D
Great bit of kit.
They sell a little extra to lift the bike under the crankcase, but that doesn't work so well on anything faired / exhausts running under. Nooj has one tho, and when I had my fork oil changed they just about managed it ok. Ideally a nice beam above for straps is still the way to go i guess.Quote:

Yep, foot pegs off and the Abba adaptor fits into the mount holes, easy peasy.
yep, got a couple and they're fantastic [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
