R&G swing arm paddock stand bobbins.
Having had bikes for 40 years, there is only one brand I use and this is based on the quality of the R&G bobbins and providing the exact right fittings to secure the bobbins to the bike frame.
These were bought to be used with a paddock stand on my Street Triple. They look great, are dead easy to fit and work wonderfully. They also exude quality and look very hard wearing.
M8 is the size for the 2024 street triple by the way (purely if anyone needs to know).
I bought these as mounting points for luggage. I replaced my pillion pegs with one of these and use it to hook a luggage strap to. Might also help keep the frame off the ground if I drop the bike.
Well made and durable, used them for years on my race bikes.
Item is great, always handy to have the rear wheel off the ground, easy to fit, looks good,
Great delivery as usual from SBS. Bobbin pins were perfect for hyabusa and are bigger than you expect. Works well with Oxford paddock stand.
I've used these on every bike for years and they're always reliable and a decent price.
Takes the nervousness of slipping on the paddock stands out of the equation due to the smaller size. Easy to fit just need Allen keys.
Great quality product. Never have to worry whether she's going to tip off the stands again. That's worth the price in peace of mind alone. Good product, good price, good service and delivered ahead of schedule. Don't buy from Ali-Express expecting this quality of product.
Great sturdy reels. Fits my ninja 650 perfectly. Super easy to put on, just needs an Allen key!
If you are purchasing these for an Aprilia RS660 then please BEWARE!
The M6 bolts supplied are too long and 'bottom out' on the swing arm.
In my naivety, I over tightened the bolt and now I have a sheered M6 bolt wedged in my brand new RS660!!
R&G Paddock Stand Bobbins, cracking item from R&G. Purchased for my Z900 RS, Very easy to fit. Would definitely recommend.
Received from Sportsbikeshop, Great Service and price as always.
R&G good make. Easy to fit and does what it says on the tin
Excellent as always from R& G
Easy to fit and perfect for use with the paddock stand
Look good and do what they should.
Well made, smart looking and fit a treat. Not sure how much protection they would offer in an accident, and frankly I hope I never find out, but they are perfect for my paddock stand.
Good quality and do the trick, next time I'd probably getting the softer compound ones. These feel like they might snap of in a crash instead of grinding down. Still good though.
Great product, fast delivery and extremely valuable if you want good sturdy bobbins for your paddock stands. Well worthy of the price.
