Re: Abba Stand
Thanks guys, making up a stand based on the Abba one. Just welds an old 27mm socket onto some 12mm bar and got a piece of hardened 12 mm for the other side. Just got to weld up the frame and were done. Will try and put up some picks. Making the stand is easy, putting up picks is hard . Cheers Dave.

Abba Stand
Has anybody got an Abba stand that they could take a few measurements for me. I need the length from the base of the stand to the centre of the pin that locates in the swing arm pivot (looks between 450mm and 500mm to me ). Also length of pins , look about 100mm when connected to bike . Thanks Dave.

Kevin and Julie
Kevin was on his way home from work. He had a beautiful blonde wife and best of all , a brand new Golf Gti waiting for him at home. The car had only been delivered the day before, and as he approached his house he could see the metallic black paintwork gleaming in the evening sun. He stood admiring ...

Somebody wrote ?
Haven't got a clue with computers, so when replying to somebody in a post how do you copy their post onto your reply. Have tried copy and paste but you don't get the highlighted box etc.
