A paddock stand with a difference.

You could house a family or two in its shadow

   to get back onto topic.....judging by the stand and the weight of the nan surely it would be a cheaper option to buy one of those stands from the curry shop , if it will hold the weight of that nan i am sure it would be strong enough to hold the gtr ,it would be a lot cheaper than an abba .

Well I've taken a chance and bought one of those Abba Superbike stands, the one that Keith posted above. I had a look at a ZZR today and compared that with the GTR and couldn't see what the difference was for the fixing points.

hi wolf , dont know if i have missed any posts on the abba stand issue??but how are you getting on with it ,did you get the right fittngs to go with your gtr ? is it working ok for you   cheers .....

Hi, yes an update. Regrettably it's not going to be a winner unfortunately. There is a way I could get it to work but it will be a bit faffy so I'm not going to bother. I spoke with Abba and they supplied me with a fitting kit that will fit the GTR even though they don't specifically manufacture a kit for the GTR.
The snag is the fixing points on the GTR are too high and you cant get the leverage for pivoting with the stand that you need. An option would be to create a raised plinth on the garage floor whilst having the bike wheels on the original garage floor. Additionally the gear lever gets in the way and has to be detached.

So it looks like I'll have to consider getting a proper bike lift.

sorry it didn't work out for you ,at least you tried it out and satified your curiosity without causing any trouble to your gtr,,post the stand back up ebay ,you should get your money back.  good luck for your next choice
