I want to do some restoration of my Montjuic over winter and using the sidecstand is useless.
What have people done to allow wheel removal etc. ABBA stand? Axle stands under footrests or some other creative solutions.
Cheers Ian
 
ABBA stands locate in the swing arm pivot recess and have fittings specific to whichever particular model .......... a non starter for a Monty I would have thought ........

And ABBA`s are a right pain to try to fit single-handed ......... You get one side in the recess , go around to the other side to fit that and the side you`ve just fitted pops out ......... go around to put that back in , try to slide the two halves together and the opposite side pops out again .........

They`re ok once they`re up though , despite having the whole weight of the bike supported by an interface of about an inch or less on either side ........


I have a " Strong Arm " lift from Machine Mart ........... Although a cheaper option would be to whip the exhaust off and stick it up on a wooden box .............

Or get a large pair of folding stepladders , place them over either the front or rear of the bike , and then attach straps to it to lift either wheel clear of the ground .........
