    No. It just has locating pins that slot into the swing arm holes.

    No, there are machined pins that stay on the ABBA that are specific to the bike model (good thing here is only the pins need to be swapped when you change your bike) and these locate in the swing arm pivot on both sides of the bike. Have a look at


    As I mentioned I also got the arms to lift the front or both wheels up see

    Went for a nice steady ride as Plod tend to be very keen when BSB is at Cadwell. Saw this and wondered if I should get her details for @nigelrb, bike would probably fit under his sink :p

    Not me, too much house stuff to do so will have to watch on the TV. Hopefully may get out on the bike though.

    If you can hang out, ABBA usually have 10% off weekends on Bank Holidays. We have one in a couple of weeks (26 Aug). Maybe hang out until then:).

    As a customer I always get their emails so I'll post up the code if they do have the offer.

    thanks, looked on demon tweaks and they are like £92 but you have to buy the thingies to make it fit i think. It takes me ages to make a decision, so no problem waiting, - thanks

    Yep. Those 'thingies' are called a 'fitting kit'. Just two lugs/bosses that slide into the swingarm and into the stand. Simple process. Different kits for different bikes determined by the diameter of the swing arm holes.;) £18.00 retail as I recall.

    This is the link to the Package2 that includes stand and additional arms, but as @nigelrb said wait till the BH

    https://abbastands.co.uk/product-detail.asp?item=superbike-package-2&pid=43

    EDIT
    One thing to take note of @blink - the shopping list on the ABBA site automatically includes a bobbin when you go for the arms, but just untick it as your blade already has rear bobbins from memory

    It does have rear bobbins. Its a 13 plate. Might be a 12 model year though. Time to wait for a sale now!

    I think @blink might be a tad reluctant to speak about his mounts!
