ABBA is popular and good piece of gear - but this adds whole additional dimensions:
  • You get both wheels off the ground at same time
  • Can move the bike around on it
  • Turntable for ride-in/ride-out
  • Parallel park to tight space against garage wall

(You can add the MotoGlide option to the Abba - but it's ~ $220 for that alone and looks like a PITA to use, even in the demo video - and it still leaves the front wheel on the ground)

I have front & rear Pitbull Stands that I think I paid more for - so don't absolutely need it - but its versatility just cries out to me.

The MotoMfg site states their stand "...is available for the all years Triumph Daytona 675 and Street Triple 675"

To my knowledge there are any differences in the frame between the std and "R" models up through 2012. As a reference point, Bursig did not list the "Std" Striple, only the "R", for theirs but confirmed with me that it does indeed fit both.

MotoMFG Paddock Stand Review and Install Instructions

Prior to giving my review of the MotoMFG Paddock stand I would like to thank DEcosse for setting up this group buy. After seeing a post for this GB I was set on purchasing one regardless of the price break that we received. After assembling and installing the stand on my Street Triple I can say I am very impressed and will be purchasing another one for my girlfriend's bike in the near future.

I received the stand in a well packaged box only 3 days after it was
shipped. All of the stand components were securely packed and protected with a fitted foam insert. The stand comes with all of the mounting hardware needed to assemble the stand. You will need a 14mm(Street Triple) ratchet and 5/16 Hex to remove the Rear engine mount bolt & nut.


Install bushing onto your motorcycle:
1. Using a 14mm(street triple) ratchet and 5/16 hex remove the rear engine mount bolt & nut. You can leave the bike on its side stand for this process.There is no need to support the engine or any other part of the bike while you do this.
2. Remove the bolt completely and reinstall from the reverse side.
3. Install the bushing on the left side(as seated on the bike) by
threading the bushing onto the engine mount bolt.
3. Make sure that the bushing is oriented with the safety pin holes
facing up and down.
4. Torque the engine mount bolt to 48mn (35 ft. lbs) using a 5/16 hex.

Align the adapter plate:
Prior to installing the adapter plate onto the stand align the two
interfacing components.

1. Insert the adapter plate into the bushing that is installed on the
bike.
2. Orient the pin holes to correspond to the bushing. Tighten into
place.
3. Remove the rubber cover on the swing arm spindle.
4. Align the swing arm spindle with the adapter plate. Tighten the nut in place.

Assembly of the stand:
1. Insert the casters into the legs of the stand and secure them with
the provided bolt.
2. Insert the vertical stand component into the base and secure with theprovided bolt(x2).
3. Using the provided bolt secure the adapter plate to the stand(in slot #3) with an angle appropriate to interface with the components on the bike.
4. At this point there will be some micro adjustments needed to correct the bike tilt and adapter/bike interface points.
5. Attach the tilt adjustment bar to the stand and tighten the bolts in place.

Using the picture that is included with the stand I was able to
guess how much the tilt adjustment was needed and it cut down on the time it took to make adjustments.

Using the Stand:
The instructions indicated that the bike bushing and stand would not
line up correctly when initially trying to lift the bike; I did not find
this to be the case.

If aligned properly the stand should interface flush with both contact
points on the bike.

1. Hold the bike in an upright position and put the side stand up.
2. While holding the bike move the stand into position and insert the
adapter into the bushing. Depending on how you set up the adapter you may have to move the stand up or down to align the busing contact point.
3. Slide the adapter contact all the way into the bushing so that the
safety pin holes are visible.
4. Insert safety pin.
5. Use the stand arm to lift the bike off the ground until it locks into
place.
6. Reverse the process to lower.









Here is a video showing how the stand interfaces with my Street Triple:

Looks like you got that lined up pretty much perfect. Awesome! Thanks for the write-up, I'm sure it will come in handy when I finally get to set mine up.

Are there more bike specific instructions than the picture below (not the general stand assembly instructions).

Is the horizontal rod adjustment just trial and error or is there a recommended starting length.

I have messed around with the stand a bit. I am able to lift the bike if I lower the handle (raising the mechanism) so that it will meet with the adaptor. However, the front tire is slightly touching the ground still.

I outlined the steps that I took to adjust the tilt of the bike a couple posts back in this thread. But for the most part it is trial and error. Use the supplied photo to guess the ammout of adjustment needed and compare it to what your stand looks like. If you want to post a picture of what your stand looks like now I can help point you in the right direction for adjustments.

I believe edge's bike is a std striple and creative's is "R", correct? Is it possible that the difficulty with Creative's setup is the slight difference in height between the two bikes? If the standard ends up being right at the top of the adjustment range then perhaps there is no way to get the "R" to slide right in without first raising the mechanism a little? Just a thought.

Nice job on the report Edge - appreciated!


There are likely differences between the R & regular models just down to the suspension differences - or even pre-load settings between bikes - this will effectively change the angle between the lifting points and make for subtle differences between them.

Perhaps you can just add the dimension for spacing of the rod that you ended up, as starting reference for others.
The selected hole and the length of the rod effectively fix the height and angle of the pins
(again there may be subtle differences but this would be a good starting point)

Finally got mine put together today. Not too bad of an exercise. It is clear, however, that the handle definitely has to be "operated" prior to engaging the sleeve on my bike as well. Mine is a STD but with the CBR shock, it does sit slightly higher. No biggie, works real well and front wheel is about 3/4" - 1" off the ground and the rear quit a bit more than that. However, looking at the exhaust under the bike, it looks pretty much level.
