ABBA stand

Post by Stevie »

I'm kind of reluctant bring this up again, considering what happened last time it was mentioned, but did you have any luck Andrew? I want one of these too.

If you are going to use a stand that uses the swing arm pivots as lifting points, then you need something that is a bit stronger and more secure

I am trying to see if I can get more of them to fit R 1200S. At the moment it looks as though it will not be an economic proposition, so if they do happen then I will probably only get them to order. I can get the stands but getting the BMW adapters are the problem.

No need for Anna and Frida holding up the K1200R since it can be had right from the factory with this practical little device called centrestand...;-)

Sandbar ... how on earth do you ride that bike - the rear wheel isn't even touching the floor.

I suppose I could BUT I knocked a stand up at work one morning!!! Access to welding gear/pipe benders does occasionally have its use's.

You are right! Once the car park had emptied a bit I was able to straighten it up :thefinger:

Steve,

No luck unfortunately, I might give them a call again and inform them that they could always travel 15 miles to Cannon BMW (think that is their local dealer).
