Swingarm Spool (Stand Hook) (Off-set Type)[Cotton Reels (Offset)]

I used to use Anodized Finishing, but the color faded and peeled off, so I decided to use Material:I chose Plastic. The color does not fade, does not peel, and is offset, so when you hang a hook on it, the hook is less likely to hit the frame, so it is less likely to get scratched.
I have been using it for years and it has lasted a long time.
Scratches will be applied, but Material:Plastic, so it remains in Black color.

I purchased this product to improve the appearance of the image rather than to maintain it. It was a good decision to buy it.

It was installed on the Swing Arm of DL1000 V-STROM650, and it is also used on DL1000 V-STROM1050XT after the vehicle replacement.

I used a V-Hook for my JTrip Rear stand, which makes it easy for one person to STAND-UP.

The included Bolt is a bit cheesy, but it's a Black Swing Arm, so it matches the Black body.

There were a couple of other parts that I wanted to get for my wife's MT09 which will help protect the bike if there is any accident. These are what I decided to get and the added bonus os that not only will they protect the swingarm but you use them to lift the rear wheel with a paddock stand. Dual purpose which is brilliant.I found the correct part numbers by checking R&G website and adding the model of bike. Very pelased to see that Webike also stock them, so purchased them from here instead.The price is roughly what I could get them for locally but I can count of Webike delivering my items on time and without a hitch. The shipping method I chose this time was EMS fast service. It was a very good price as I also had a few other parts in my basket and this cut the shipping down than just buying one or two parts.Everything arrived with me in 5 days. The outer box was sealed and the littel bit of empty space inside the box was filled with buble wrap. All my parts, even the samller ones arrived in perfect condition. The cotton reels came in their own box which was nice and touch so there would be no damage. They have a really smoothed out thread on the bolts which went in smoothly, not notchy or sharp edged. They attach to the mounting points on the swingarm with no issue. The cotton reels themselves are made from a special nylon I believe, don't quote me on that though but they are very similar to the others I have purchased. I tried them with my standard paddock stand and they are a perfect fit, no wobble like some other cotton reels so a very good product all around. Very pleased with the result. Thank you Webike for your hard work.
