R+G ones are about that price because they also provide some protection for your wheel spindle etc in the event of an accident. Otherwise you can get alloy ones on ebay for £7.

Yoshimura ones are a clever 2 piece design and rotate as you lift the bike.

And they say yoshimura on them.

I've found it too easy to scratch the swing arm when hooking bobbins up. For a while I kept two thick card discs with a hole in the centres to put over each bobbin when using a paddock stand. Then I got an Abba Stand.

I'm sure they are absolutely fine.

I do wonder why you need spinners though. I've never had a problem with cheap fixed ones for getting the bike on and off the stand. (unless there is another reason for them I don't know of).

I'd go with something like this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-SWINGARM-PADDOCK-STAND-BOBBINS-SPOOLS-REELS-SUZUKI-SV650-1999-2008/273669940207?hash=item3fb7ffe3ef:g:yOAAAOSwJOJcSKm4

as cheap as possible. Will still do the job, will still look nice.

Polarbear,
I have no idea, never used bobbins before, either centre stands or a universal paddock stand with rubber l pads, but they left marks on swing arm of my 300.
