    Hi guys ive got a cbr600 f4 , im looking to put spools on it as for when im workin on it. Ive got a rear paddock stand but its only got pads on it to get under the swing arm. There's no place to screw in bobbins/ spools at the rear of the bike.
    Any of ye ever come across a problem like this for any of your bikes and if so how did u sort it.
    Ive tried on line for adapter kits but nothin out there suitable for my bike

    I'm guessing the stand is too wide for your swingarm and you can't use it as you've described?.

    If your bike doesn't have screw holes for spools I've never seen anything like an adapter kit. Sorry.

    Usually you will be able to find a replacement chain adjuster with an extension on it to allow the bobbins to be mounted or the paddock stand to engage.

    Also some swingarms have a reinforced spot for spools that you can drill through.
    It would be visible if there.

    Yes you will.

    if you are wanting a really simple option,then fit a set of axle spools through the rear axle.
    Simple as that.

    What's wrong with the stand you have ? If you get the spools on you'll need a different paddock stand .
