Abba stand for sale

#1 Post by blenks » Sun Aug 15, 2010 6:17 pm

Hi all, As I have now sold the Falco I am selling my Abba stand. It is in excellent condition and comes with the Falco fittings. The only marks on it are paint scratches from the screw head that is tightened against the frame. An absolutely essential bit of kit if you do your own maintenance. Anyone interested give me a shout. It will need to be picked up as it is quite heavy to post although I can post if you are too far from Coventry. All the best, Blenks

Why aren't you keeping the stand for your next bike? Only costs a few quid for different nubbins to fit the stand for another bike.

Reason for selling is I have bought a R1200GS which has a centre stand.

Ah - but when the sidestand is broken and you want to change the centre stand - you'll regret it then .......

Come on Andy, this is a BMW we're talking about. The pinnacle of German engineering. How could anything possibly go wrong????

Besides, Abba don't do the fittings for the GS

I don't think Abba did fittings for that one either

German engineering..lol.. I really don't know how they keep people thinking that it's the best. It's not as good as once was.

And so what if Abba don't do a kit for it.. Make one.. :smt002

Wish I bought this now! Just realised it'll be hard to do some of the stuff over the winter without one... not to mention how easy it looks to use compared to the paddock stands... *searches eBay*
