Swingarm Spool Installation Swingarm spools are a must for sport bikes. They allow the use of a rear stand and some also double as crash guards for the swingarm. I purchased a set from Shogun to match the Shogun frame sliders I already have.



If your bike's swingarm is designed to accept spools, the mounting holes should be pretty easy to find. Here's mine on the left side (yes my bike is filthy in this picture, but it's been raining around here):



It took all of 60 seconds to install both spools with a hex key. Here's the left side again, now with spool installed:



Here's the view from the back with both spools installed:



Now I can finally use a rear stand and my swingarm is protected in case my bike goes down.  ¶ 10:32 PM
