tezzer Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) So, I've got the 1100G Shafty in the garage, but the restorer has dumped the centre stand. I've got a FRONT paddock stand, which should work OK, but need suggestions about a rear, as of course it's a bit of a lopsided swing arm.ABBA stand or similar into the front Swingarm mounts ? Advice appreciated...... Edited September 4, 2015 by tezzer 1 Quote Link to comment
Pegleg Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I made adapters for the ABBA stand that bolt to foot peg hanger mounts. You can strip the bike to the bare frame like that. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pegleg Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 You can buy them now. Price is very good. http://abbastands.co.uk/product-detail.asp?item=swing-arm-removal-kit&pid=21 Quote Link to comment
Jaydee Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I have a home made abba'ish stand. Why not get some mild steel 5mm thick 50mm wide plate from the hardware store, cut and drill it out to match the foot hanger mounts on the frame. Drill the lift holes to match the adapters size that you already have. Here's a bandit hanging on a set (for the last 2 months with engine in frame and USD front end on, with no wheels.) So I'd say the bike is stable enough. 1 Quote Link to comment
tezzer Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Much obliged, ABBA stuff ordered, will post picture of the beast on it, when they arrive on Wednesday. Edited September 9, 2015 by tezzer Quote Link to comment
tezzer Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 They DID arrive, but with the wrong sized bolts for the footreat hangers, SO ABBA are sending out some more today. Quote Link to comment
Marc clayton Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Least they got back to you for a replacement Quote Link to comment
tezzer Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah, but the bolts were too short (M10). They HAD put some longer bolts in, but different threads, so the Nyloc nuts were't any good, will have to go shopping for nuts tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
tezzer Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 So, went for some M10 x 50mm and M10 x 55mm, still too short for the left hand side......, so ordered some more online, M10 x 60 and M10 x 65. Should be here Tuesday, when I get home from working away for a couple of days, HOW hard can it be to get an ABBA stand to fit a GSX1100G ? Quote Link to comment
tezzer Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Bigger bollts arrived, and fitted, but the left and right hand footrests are offset, front to back, so it's NEVER going to work. ABBA will reluctantly take back the stand, as long as it's not marked, but its cost me £20 to courier it back. Lesson learned. Quote Link to comment
Pegleg Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Can you make an adaptor plate as suggested above? Quote Link to comment
