Accessories: swingarm spools

[kml]

Suck it up princesses.
It's just a old Gen 1 down on horsepower and and as sophisticated as a brick compared to your super duper gen 2 or 3s

But it's got a center stand...

LOL

After taking some measurements of the distance between the swingarm spool mounts, I came to the conclusion that my factory yellow Suzuki paddock stand might not line up with the type of spools I used on my GSX-R1000.

Most stands these days (including the blue one from Suzuki) are adjustable in width but I'm making do with one for now.

I was curious about Oxford's spools that spin on a plain bearing vs. a standard fixed spool.

All parts are stainless steel.

The outer roller is probably going to get chewed up over time and would benefit from some electrical tape which just rotates with the roller.

The Oxford's come in several sizes with the relevant ones for Suzuki being:

Black:
OX727 Bobbins/Spools M8x1.25
OX727S Bobbins/Spools M8x1.25

Silver:
OX827 Bobbins/Spools M8x1.25
OX827S Bobbins/Spools M8x1.25

The S models have a longer bolt and spacer which can be removed (and used in conjunction with a shorter bolt) turning a OX727S into a OX727, etc.

The M8 socket cap bolt is 45mm in length and protrudes slightly from the backside. 40mm would be better.

Getting the Hayabusa up on this paddock stand is a challenge compared to my 2001 GSX-R1000 which is easy as pie.

The swingarm spool bosses are quite inset and may have clearance issues with some spools.

I saw these 990A0-65348-BLK spools at a dealership and passed on them but they look nice (there are a million choices out the for swing arm spools as you probably know already).

The licence plate also gets in the way of my paddock stand handle...another reason to tidy up the tail.

Hi, what are the dimensions of the Oxford spool and the spacer? Cheers

The front stand that locks the wheel in is a must have for solo stand lifts , easier for my setup anyway .

[ROADTOAD1340]

What brand and model front stand is that?

Kaneg , Australian , not available anymore . Just look for a trailer mate type of wheel clamping stand .

What brand and model front stand is that?

Since the Toad says that isn't available,
see if you can get a Baxley, I have one and they are excellent, on the floor, bolted to a lift table, or bolted to a trailer.

Sport Chock

The Sport Chock is the best maintenance and transport stand for your Ducati, Suzuki GSXR, Yamah R1 or Kawasaki - pretty much any motorcycle with a 120mm front tire! Made in the USA

Or just get a Bursig, also excellent.
I have set mine up on 3 different bikes in the last 13 years.
