[quote="cybercarl"]Here's some links to help you. Abba stand is perfect as it can be adapted easily to mount off the engine mount rather than the swingarm.

:thumbup: :thumbup: Done my linkages using the faithful abba stand. You will need a 17mm socket when you lift using the engine mounting point. Also you will need a sturdy 6 by 4 block of wood for the stand to sit on as the different mounting point is higher than the swing arm point. Finally have another block of wood to support the abba stand arms as you settle down after the lift. It will all come clear when you lift the bike what needs supporting.
