    Evening all.
    Now I've got my Daytona with its beautifully engineered single sided swingarm, I now have no way of lifting it up (managed to bodge summat last week but never again !! ) so do I get rear stand to go with ones I've got or go for the abba stand which does it all ?? Are the abba stands good/better for working on bike or just get rear stand n save £50.

    Depends if you want to take the wheel out or not.
    If not,I used to put a bar through and use an ordinary stand.
    Single sider is quick,but some are more stable than others,mine does wobble a bit.
    Abba is good and more stable but is a bit more fiddly to put on as it's in two parts.
    Word of caution with the Abba,there's two pins which go into the swinging arm pivot,MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN PROPERLY.
    I didn't and the bike went over.
