I'm going to make abba stand by myself. Balls, can you measure the abba stand and make a simple drawing with dimensions?
Are you looking for dimensions for a genuine ABBA stand which lifts by the Swinging Arm pivot ?if so Balls will oblige .

If you are looking for dimensions for a home made stand ,which lifts by the engine mount/frame ,and enables you to
*remove the swing arm completely*
,then here are the sizes ..

Bikerpiker, thanks!
However, I assume that swingarm pivot is more secure place to lift the bike.

I really couldn't answer that mate , but myself and the others who have fabricated the the ABBA type stands,which lift from higher up ,have never had any problems as long as you tighten it firmly :)

Also the type we made enables you to easily remove the swing arm ,for cleaning or re-greasing .
It just depends why you want the stand i suppose :)

Yeah, you're right. I need it only for front suspension service.
Now i'm going to make those tricky wrenches for lock nuts in frame. I can use lock nut wrench to fix bike more tight in stand. So, I decided to make more universal stand - from link which you posted below.

Sorry to revive an old topic, but I was wondering if anyone has the dimensions for the ABBA stand? I've spent all of my spare money on exhausts so I can't justify an expensive stand now!

Cheers
