I just ordered the plain colored pair of T-REX stand off ebay for $129.90 shipped. I also ordered the 8mm spools to be shipped with the stands.

Will I need to drill holes on my f3 for these 8mm spools?

 

cause my $120 pair of T-Rexs work just as good. [8D]

you reasoning isnt necessarily wrong but pitbulls is. And higher price != better.

and I thought you had a 600RR? htf is it a $10k+ bike??

Do most people use these axel spools with their F4? The problem I am forseeing is when I have to replace my rear tire/ and or brakes......how am I going to remove the wheel if the stand is suported by the axel?

The problem with drilling is possible weakening of the swingarm, has anyone had a problem there?

 

drilled n tapped mine and had no issues (have rr swingarm now tho). The F4 has a alum swingarm tho, thin the F2 n 3 has a steel one, but not sure. You can also get a rear stand that can do both spools or pads that lift from the sa. The T-Rex*s come with both btw . I got the rear and front stand w/ triple tree attachment for $146 shipped last winter. One of the best purchases I*ve made.

 

I dunno how the axel spools work, only heard of them...

 

I would just tap the holes in the swingarm, that way they are always there and if by some misfortune you happen to go down, they may save some damage to the swingarm. I like the spike spools, they look sweet. And yes,most are 8mm. 8 x 1.25 I believe.

 

I like the function of the spools better than the look....not saying they dont look good, they just work awesome

 

My T-Rex stands came in from Ebay today.
After quick assembly, I used the rear one to change sprockets.
I like the quality and overall ease of them.

 

has anyone tapped the rear swingarm to put 8mmspools on? and if so how do u do it the right way?
