hello all,
it is quite bothering me the fact that the MT09 has no center stand, i really love the bike, but even cleaning and chain lubrication is impossible.

Just a quick post to say I got an ABBA superbike stand fitting kit for my MT09 in the post today, and its excellent! Perfect fit and I like the way the funny cut-out bit for the left side of the swingarm pivot is urethane so it doesn't damage the paint. Ordered direct from their website. Good...

Stand is in very good condition, marked from dragging around the concrete garage floor. To lift the 09 it uses one of the supplied ends, and a custom machined piece I made.
Looking at their site this...
