They're spools (kinda like a spool that thread comes on) that you thread into your swingarm... one on each side. All they do is give you a lifting point for the rear of your bike when you lift it up with a rear stand.

They look like this: (the spool is the round red thing where the swingarm meets the stand)

 

I did it through the swingarm by drilling a hole through it and putting a big washer on the front and back of it, and a lock nut.

It worked great, no issues till I wrecked ( i race my f3). It actually pulled the washer and stuff through the swingarm. I had a quarter sized hole in my swingarm.

Sooo I gots a new swingarm, and will be welding 2 nuts on eachside on the bottom of the swingarm. They will be back to back, and on the outside edge of the swingarm, 1 inch past the swingarm hole.
