Just realised my 748 stand won fit my new (to me) 1198s ! Any recommendations? Anyone use abba stands and how do they compare?
If your doing work....the ABBA stand is great, for day to day cleaning use etc. forget it......stick with a paddock stand.
I bought one of these for my 1198. EST Side Paddock Stand Single Swing Arms DUCATI 1198 | eBay Quick delivery from Germany.
I'm going to be on the lookout for one of these too. Looks very good value compared to the ones for sale here. How is it to use? Is it stable enough? I bought a cheapo front stand a few years ago and should've spent more as it's not the best.
I have mine on a Abba stand whilst not in use as this leaves the wheel spigot free for my pinch pin and chain to pass through as I find this the best deterent against theft, but this looks a good deal Chris and if you're are confident of the quality then may just consider getting one at this price

I use an abba stand and then a Harris stand for the front, both are very good, no issues. With the abba you can't put the bike into gear when it's on the stand, but the rear wheel is nice a free.
I've just brought a spider stand from buster accessories, should turn up tomorrow.. Gets both wheels off the floor & you can wheel bike around... Can't wait to use it!!
My new purchase has arrived, but without any instructions....:frown: anybody got any info on it.... cant afford to get it wrong Ducati 848 / 1098 / 1198 Spider Stand Motorcycle Lift Superbike Paddock Stand | eBay thanks...
Looks pretty similar to one called a 'Bursig'. If you Google 'Bursig Stand Instructions' there are some Youtube videos and a PDF manual. Hope this helps. [h=1][/h]
Cheers Chris found a few you tube videos nothing pointing 2wards any Ducati's... Got the jist of it... Tomorrow...
Here's the manual for a similar product from Constands http://files.bs-motoparts.eu/dokumente/anleitungen/constands/montagestaender/constands-power.pdf The Constand with a 1098 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NUxguPHLWj4 Here's the Bursig with a 999, quite cool piece of kit Ducati 999 Paddock Racing Stand by Bursig.com - YouTube
I assembled it @ last, thanks for the links etc.... Must say money well spent, a very useful bike stand... I can see it would making cleaning & maintaining your bike so much easier.... Also saves space as you can move bike in the upright position. Rather then leaning over on the side stand.....
