Guest kjh Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi all, I've just recieved the Abba bike stand. Thought I'd post a pic of it, incase some of you are interested in it. Have to say I'm very impressed with the quality of the kit, its rock solid, no chance of it toppling over, as can happen with the guzzi stand, though the guzzi stand will still come in handy for swingarm removal. A plus with the Abba stand is the various adapters you can get, that allow its use with any other bikes you may have. Abba make an extra wide version of this stand, which is the one you need for the V11. Their website is http://www.abbastands.co.uk/ if you need more info.

Guzzirider Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I've got one and love it- so easy to use, impossible to drop the bike while doing it and I can use it for my Ducati as well. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoltan c Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 This stand looks like a good alternative to the guzzi stand, much more secure and very slick. Which adapter did you order? They don't list Moto Guzzi on their website. I guess it must be one that is listed under Ducati. If you can post the kit number for the adapter set, it would be great.

The Guzzi kit is unique- mentions on their website that if you want a stand for a Guzzi please contact them- there is an online enquiry form. I think the Guzzi adaptor may be generic because it fitted my Sport Corsa, Jackal and my V11. Not sure if it would fit the Breva / Griso because they have a funny swingarm arrangement. When I bought my Duke I simply had to buy an adaptor kit for £20 which was a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new stand. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V11UK Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I bought the Abba stand described above back in 1999 when I got the V11 and can highly recommend it. It's easy to use, doesn't mark the swinging arm chrome nuts and provides a stable platform when tinkering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
