G'day all, I have an ABBA Stand and ride a '08 Speed triple. I have nowhere to attach the ratchet strap to get the front end off the deck (nothing on the swing arm to attach it to) Was thinking about shoving something cylindrical through the rear wheel. Does anyone else do that and where can you get a length of 26mm Diameter bar from that doesn't cost the earth? Thank all in advance Nick
Abba do hub spindles to fit for £12 https://abbastands.co.uk/product-detail.asp?item=bobbin-hub-adapters&pid=45
Your stand should have included the bobbin for the strap, unless you purchased second hand in which case the original owner lost it or still has it somewhere. I have found ABBA Customer service to be pretty good and they changed my hydraulic cylinder no quibble when it didn't fit properly, apparently the manufacturer changed the spec and they had shipped some units before they discovered the change, they never asked for the old unit back.
When I ordered my ABBA originally I had a Honda hornet so didn't get the spindle with the kit. Many thanks Nick
