Picked one up this morning. Wow! How much easier is that. Much much better than my old padock stand. Feels more secure and I don't need to shout for Mrs Nero to steady the bike while lifting / lowering.
Recommended.

Yes I agree very good piece of kit
Did yours come with the optional blonde swedish singer or the brunette?
Better still the adapters for the falco also fit my VJ21 RGV. Bonus!

I bought it second hand off eBay. With the fitting kit (£21) they are over a ton new. I paid £40 for it which I thought was a bargain as it's in great condition. Then purchased the fitting kit from the abba website.
That also explains the lack of swedish singer. The original owner must have kept her for himself!
The engine was hot when the pic was taken and the oil level is above the fairing. If anything it could do with a little draining out. Or is that what you meant?

Is it an Ulti-Pro ?
That's what I've got - like an Abba but more robust

You mean you ended up with a " fat pro" instead of a tasty blonde swede?

Nooj of Shinybike fame and ong time unheard of member of this very forum, had some Abba tribute stands. I've got on they work fine and take the standard Abba fittings. He can more often be found on the book of faces.

No
Actually, if you Google "ultipro stand" and search on images, some of the first pics that pop up are avery standard looking Falco on said stand ..... I can't have had the bike long when those were taken!
