Hey, before I go jacking my new RR up next to my $50K Vette Z06, I wanted to ask if anyone has ever heard of these delrin spools breaking off or otherwise failing???

I don't have another place to store it in the garage except between the Vette & my truck. So I need to jack it up there, but don't want to run the risk of it falling over onto the Corvette especially if a spool broke off on that side.

I know this delrin material is tough space age stuff, but just trying to make sure.

Thanks!!

 

well they are attached by a bolt so its not the delrin that would break. Its fine though the only way a spool is going to break off is in a crash. I can sit on my F4i and bounce on the damn thing and the spools stay solid. Every race bike in the world has spools so thats hundreds of thousands of motorcycles that sit on them 24/7 when not being ridden and I've never heard of a single one breaking while on the stand. Its safer than the kickstand actually

 

i bought a set of bitbull stands (front/back universal set) and they are great. they fit into most recent bikes and i dont have to put on any spools. they have an attachable kit for bikes with spools but thats sold separately. they are strong and sturdy--i recommended them if if your going to park near ur vette. here is pix of my rear stand.

 

wheres the pixs????? i'll try again

Thanks guys!! Woody - you've got a terrific point. Hadn't thought about the fact that all the racers sit perched on spools. I went ahead & set mine up on it. No problems.
