Hi there,

I'm looking for a headstock stand, but seen some ranging from £40 to £170 for a fancy one.

Can anyone recommend any particular brands? Not looking to spend a fortune on a stand but don't want something that will fall apart either.

Thanks

I bought my front stand years ago from Harris Performance

By making up different adapters I have been able to use the same stand for all of my bikes.

But I have heard good things about the Abba stand that allows the complete front end to be serviced Thumbs Up

I use the ABBA stand with good results using a jack to lift the front. Going to buy the front lift arm though as I don't like having to jack it on the exhaust. Good bit of kit. Can't comment on head stick stands as I've never used one.

I have had this one for a while 4 or 5 years its been used on my ducati monster although I had to have a pin machined up as ducati use size "fucking enormous" worked great on my 2011 blade works on my 2016 speed triple, couldn't use it io my s1000rr as bmw put a plate under the headstock for brake stuff. I would remommend this one. I'll be honest I buy cheap paddock stands as I can weld and figure if it needed bracing I can do it, but this has been fine as is. thumbs up from me.

Looks good, ordered one. Funnily enough the seller is only 10 miles from me too, hopefully it lasts just as long as yours does! Thanks.
