I was having a butchers on e-gay this morning for paddock stands which would fit my RS125 and ZX-6R and came across these:

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-abba-Superbike-Stand-Paddock-Stand-Race-stand-lift_W0QQitemZ8031956204QQcategoryZ25644QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

They do seem a pretty good idea but I was wondering if anyone on here has used them and what their thoughts were on them. From the write ups they do seem to suggest that they're easier to use than the normal sort of paddock stands which jack the bike up from the back. Also seem good as you can have either the front or back raised up.


ta v. much

That link doesn't work for me, but is it the one which lifts the bike from the belly? I saw those on ebay, too. They look chunky, but they're only meant for cruisers. Personally i'd just buy a paddock stand for the front and back.

Abba stands are great, much easier to use by yourself and support the bike in a way that lets you get in and around the back end much more easily.

You'll still need something to lift the front though.

Yeah, that's right they work by attaching it to the central swingarm I think. Think I'll probably get one as they do look pretty good and can be picked up cheaper second hand.

cheers for the replies.
