spools can be done, but requires you to drill/tap holes or have tabs welded on. I drill/tapped my stock swingarm for spools n had no neg issues with it. I now have a RR swinger tho

But even just using the swingarm pads on a rear stand will work just fine. Just do like previously posted, break the bolts loose first then put on the stand

 

I still want one of these: Abba Superbike Stand

are times when sumtin like that would be handy, but most of the time my reg stands work just fine

 

I'm just being lazy. I need to swap the swing arm and don't feel like pulling the motorcycle jack out the basement

For an all in one stand, it'd be pretty good. Like swapping the kickstand. My jack interfered a bit when I did mine and I didn't have a rear stand at the time.

Edit: bleah just thought about it and it wouldn't work. Will be lugging the jack up when its warm anyways

Edit 2: Hmm... they make a swingarm removal kit to use with the stand. Looks like it attaches to the foot rest. Ah well, no US distributor anyways. Might go have a talk with the guys at Revzilla and see if they'll try to get one in

 

when I did mine I used racket straps from rafters hooked onto the pass pegs

 

Lol would kinda require me to have rafters somewhere

 

I plan on buying either a Pit Bull or a Trex that has both swingarm and spool provisions... then I'll be covered for now and whatever I decide to do in the future.. but until then the sidestand will require someone to help hold the bike while I swap it out...

yet another reason that a center stand would be so nice.. lol

just swapped a fuel filter in my car on the cold garage floor.. man I miss warm air..

 

ive seen them get bent if they take a ride on a tow truck. strap them down with kickstand down and it will bend the **** out if them
