I'm rather taken with the Abba stand I bought recently. No need for bobbins or anything on the bike either. It cost £106 delivered.

If you change your bike just buy a fitting kit for the new one, job done.

Great bit of kit , use mine all the time. Its a lot safer to use than paddock stands.

I use these Micron stands Lee which work fine, the rear stand has a thick hard rubber cup to protect the swing arm

But I would go for the Abba stand if you have the money Lee they are a good piece of kit and do get good reviews!

+1 It might be worth buying the full set of fitting kits they come in a nice neat box and if you change your bike you will end up with fitting kits all over the place with some kits using the same bits,think theres only about 15 pieces in the full kit.

I have several, most of my bikes sit on them 24/7.

Not a fan of the stands that pick up from the side
as they need several different adapters, they won't 
pick up old Skool bikes and don't fit on lifts. Having 
said that if I had one modern bike I may think different.

Out of paddock stands, most good ones come with
Adapters to lift bobbins or lift under the arm.

The only thing I avoid is paddock stands that slot
Together and are 3 pieces of tube. I find that with 
constant use and 200kg bikes they become sloppy
and are nowhere near as good as the one piece ones. 

That's my 10c worth.


I think I have 5 rears and 3 fronts

I love your garage

Thanks. 

I'm still stashing away anything big Suzuki related.
Hopefully we'll move house in about 18 months, out
of the city and onto acreage / barn, and it might
become more than just a hobby. 

House / shed / "chicken pen" in Brisbane for 
Sale then if anyone fancies a change ?
