Quick bulletin! new product

[raydog]

I am a dyed in the wool sponsor supporter. I must advise everyone, however, that Harbor Freight now sells rear swingarm spools/sliders (polished silver only) in both 8mm and 10mm......for $5 bucks a pair! Just bought some as the lady was hanging them on display! That's all....Raydog

Thanks, I looked at some at Cycle Gear for 20 and 30 dollars but I couldn't justify the cost.

Pic of packaging?

Might go tomorrow to try to snag a pair.

Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully the quality is better then half the other crap they sell.

Good call man!! Thats $10-20 towards somthin' else, as fast as our bikes can swallow even a months worth of paychecks every penny counts most swingarm spools either work or they dont. A little Mothers polish and their almost chrome & a scotchbite pad and their ready for paint

Yes, 8mm.

Yes, 8mm.

They probably sell the spools to go with this stand..

hmm.. that's pretty cheap, might grab that too

thanks for the heads up

 

[HillbillyTom]

That's funny.. and a little scary at the same time. What'll it be next, no name pipes and programmable fuel mapping devices?

 

[EarlyBird]

That stand scares me! Seems cheap! I guess I am spoiled with a pitball stand!

 

[jphilipson]

Just grabbed a set up the spools for my 2k8. Great price, seems to be the same quality as the ones the sell for 2 or 3 times as much at the bike stores..

This strand could evolve into another China products strand, BUT, as long as it's not a part that requires I trust it at 100 mph.....and it's 1/4 the cost of comparable parts, I guess I'm in. HOWEVER, it doesn't stop the guilt I experience re: the USA losing good manufacturing jobs to developing countries. I try to live by....USA first(whenever possible), Western Europe and Japan tied for second, and the rest of the world THIRD.

You'd probably gave a hard time finding spools that are made in the USA..

You'd probably gave a hard time finding spools that are made in the USA..

And if I did, they would probably be $49.95 each.
