Front Stand.

Hi

Anybody recommend a front stand so that i can take the forks and wheel out? ( they will be off to Roger soon i hope?) regards Paul.

Have you got a car jack?

Or something to hang the bike from? Garage joists or the like?

Try a ratchet strap if you have a good beam. (rear on paddock stand)

i have a jack etc, sadly no roof beam as it stays in my garage but it has a glass roof, as it is built on from the conservatory,
problem is the dog, horse, daughter and wife all walk through there and i don't want it being knocked over!!! Fook that sounds posh but it aint!!!

Front Headstock Stand

Though the variety of headstock pins that came with the stand aren't big enough for the storm - so using the smallest 13mm one and fitting a 17mm ½" socket does the job and ensures clearance underneath the fairing.

If you get an abba stand, you can do your rear shock (as per your other thread) and do your forks with the Abba stand and jack under sump.

Any good?

Ta i was hoping i may have sussed that out, has anybody seen the bobbins that fit just inside the rear axle shaft and can be used with rear stand lifting hooks?

Buy an abba stand mate. You were asking what to spend a grand on, 100 on this would be a good long term investment. They now do an attachment which raises the front as well, but if you have a ground anchor and a ratchet strap, this will also work. Anyone here with an abba will tell you the same, worth every penny !!

Have you lads seen the attachment for the Abba Stand. Can easily make one, it gets the front off the ground. Saw them at the NEC.

Ah. Sorry never got as far as your post Watty, you've covered that equipment
