Default How to install Vortex swingarm spools?
I recently bought a Vortex rear stand for a 2001 F4I. I was wondering how to install the swingarm spools for the stand. Any help or guidance is much appreciated, thanks in advance...

You are going to need a big nail and a sledge hammer...

Anyways, what you need to take it to a shop and have the bungs welded to the bottom of the swingarm. Then you can screw in the spools and use your stand.

Cost me $100

you can do what I did b4 I installed my RR S/A too, I just drilled and tap the swingarm and the bolted the spools onto the swingarm and didnt have any issues. Having tabs welded on n taped is the best way to do it to.
