like the title says. I have a Harris rear paddock stand & was considering the Harris under yoke front paddock stand. I've had trouble lining up the front wheel after removal with my current front paddock stand. Which lifts from the bottom of the forks. Then I remembered the Abba stand with front lift arm. They are about the same kind of money. The only other consideration is that I will be using them on my hydraulic bike ramp & not sure how wide the Abba stand is when fitted to the bike. Opinions / experience appreciated
I've just got myself an Abba stand. Will be trying it out this afternoon and will let you know how I get on.
Never used an abba stand , but wish I had one now ( need to test steering damper ) always used yoke stand which is good for wheel/fork removal but fails when doing headstock bearings etc. Overall the abba sounds the best bet here are the measurements
Front lift ramp is ok, but sissor Jack works just as well under headers. You must have the rear abba to use the front as the rear takes 70% of the front load also. Great bit of kit, I leave mine on it all the time as unloads the suspension which is great when away for the winter saves your shocks / forks
I have the ABBA and front lift arm. Brilliant bit of kit when I had the front end off my Gixer and when I needed both wheels off the Blade to swap out the tyres. The advantage of the ABBA too is the fact you can remove the swingarm too with the footrest adaptors.
