ABBA stand replacement for front end
I have used the ABBA stand ( fitting in the swingarm mounts) for quite a few of my bikes without any problem. I have now bought their front jack which ( their brochure says) simply pushes under the exhaust pipes in order to raise the front end for wheel removal.....except it doesn't fit at all !!!!
So, can anyone recommend a stand ( obviously not ABBA !! ) that will fit into/under the headstock of my 2004 ZX12r B2 so I can take the wheel off ( I know I can use a scissor jack under the exhaust but want something more solid).
I measured the hole in the centre on the headstock and it is 16mm in diameter.
Cheers

I use an engine lift I got from Pep Boys for that sort of thing. Tie a strap through the bike somewhere, hook the engine lift chain to it, and lift the front end or the whole bike.

I only use Pit-Bull. Period.
The "new-front stand" is what you will want to look at.
