Don't forget the Abba stands are not designed for removing the swingarm as they use the swingarm mount to pivot off. You need to customise it with a socket and sit it on some wood to raise it up and use the engine mounts as a pivot point.

Yup, I think I can manage a patio slab or two underneath it to raise it and the link you gave mentions a workaround boltwise so thanks for that, hopefully be in a roadworthy state come payday, I seriously need some smilemiles right now so I'll probably wend my merry over to Matlock as soon as its on the road
