Do you want them for style or for paddock stand use?

[Graprilia]

paddock stand use only

When i had my gullarm,i couldn't be bothered to buy any as i only wanted them for the stand so i just used 2 allen bolts with 2 nuts on each and bolted them up with a gap in between for the hooks.

so did the allen bolts support the weight safely?

Yeh,no problem,i think you will find most bobbins are just a sleeve with the same size allen bolt through anyway.Just make sure you have the right size and pitch bolt,obviously.

this question may sound stupid , but where abouts did you place them?

I'll just do a pic,hang on.Tighten first nut to allen head then set gap and tighten second nut to bobbin hole while holding allen head tight.

Orginally i had the stand like this in the picture.

There was two sheets of metal either side to put the swingarm on but it doesnt work 100% as the bike is unstable.

Yeh,i have to use one of them now as the blade doesn't have bobbins.Bobbins feel more secure.Plus they don't move around,i dented the underside of my can because the cups slid.

cheers mate

I will give it a try tomorrow depending on the weather.
