whats the best ones. i figured spools where spools but i jacked the bike up and the bolt broke right off flush in the swing arm and the spool went to the ground. thank god my buddy was on the side that broke and stopped it from dropping.

anyways whats everyone running? and has anyone else ever had this happen? they were bobbins i believe got them on ebay. im going to take a pic and email him tomorow and see if i cant get a refund.

I just bought a set of Motovation ( http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=51 )

I just installed them today. I don't have a stand yet, so I dunno how they'll work, but I have high expectations for them. Aluminum sleeve inside the plastic where the stand would hold, so it'll be stronger than just plastic

that dosent reflect the quality of the actual spool, just weak hardware, replace the bolt and you should be fine

I'm using Vortex spools, and I haven't had any problems with lifting the back up with stands. I'd go with Vortex or Protek and I wouldn't pay more than $20 for the pair. I'm not sure on what is too expensive for the spools that are extended and act like a frame slider.

Holy crap @ your tag bracket. For that side I would think it's swingarm protection in and of itself! That thing is huge! To the OP, like the other guy up there said, it's bad hardware, go to a hardware store and get some grade 8 bolts if you can, I guarantee you wont snap them bastards!

EZ Outs Homie:fact:
You drill out the center of the broke off bolt, the EZ out screws into it in the REVERSE direction of the threads until the EZ out is firmly screwed into the bolt then it begins to turn the bolt instead of screw into it. Should be what you need bro.

I was just showing a pic of the Vortex spools on my bike! The tag swing arm mount really isn't that big, it just looks like it because I was close.

I just thought about going with the Yamaha spools myself. Anyone know of any drawbacks or problems with those?
