Abba Stand copy

Post by jono49 »

My Copy "Abba" stand is nearly finished, It looks a bit Blacksmith built!... but costing nothing but the time to do it :Shrug: Who cares :cool2

Thanks Pariah :thumbup: Just tried it out this morning after finishing it last night, I have found the best way is put the Rear paddock stand under to lift it, slide the abba type under and assemble and tighten the screw, then gently lower the paddock stand and grip the belt on the seat and gentle let it roll forward until it rests on stands own legs! I removed the belly pan and put my trolly jack under the sump and it lifted the front nicely and spot on for a tyre change etc! when I do the tyre change I'll post some piccies then :thumbup:

that is a well made replica :thumbup:

just one comment........should there not be support legs fitted on one side so it goes over center and is stable on a triangle base.........cant see one in the pictures, but imagine you have already copied that from the ABBA

like the pictres in this thread link
