after reading the thread on headstock stands I've decided to get one to be used in conjunction with my abba stand for over wintering my bike, could someone in the know please confirm the size of the pin needed for a 2013 bike, Jollygreen on the other thread says it's 23mm ? all the stands I've been browsing on the net only go up to 18mm help please or recommendations for a stand that doesn't need to have pins made up or be farted about with ...tia

Be careful of using a headstock stand and ABBA stand/ I used to have a ABBA stand but found using my Headstock stand (unsure of make but it's red). the reason is that the headstock lifts the front up and when using the ABBA it does not give enough lift to the rear tyre, So I went for a Harris rear fork paddock stand. Sorry no help on the size of the pin as I had a few come with the headstock stand so just used which ever one fitted the best
i've got a a stand for sale that i no longer need which has the pin for blade. it's similar to (maybe the same?) the red ones you get from that german bloke on ebay. 30 quid plus whatever delivery is.
