Swing arm Bobbins and adapters - SV650.org

22-07-11, 09:34 PM

I have a rear paddock stand with the standard cup/plate holders which are a right PITA to get lined up when lifting the rear of the bike, especially on the Curvy models as the rear caliper is fitted to the underside with the torque arm in the way. So I have decided its time to buy some bobbin adapters to replace the cup/plate holders and some bobbins but Im not sure which ones I should buy.

I have found some Suzuki bobbins, in blue, but they are £7.99 and also a pair of adapters for £7.99. This tends to be what most of them cost so before I purchase can someone let me know if these are any good, or point me in the direction of some cheaper ones which are just as good or better.

Adapters - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTORCYCLE...item2c5c7f2490

Just want to check with the org before purchasing. Thanks

I've got these mate

They are spot on for the price and easier to get on the stands.
I've also got a set of spare bobbins hooks if you want them. Unopened £6?

Could you post up a pic of your bike? Just so I can see what they look like on the SV, if you have an SV? But not as zoomed in as in the eBay pic. Thanks.

Thanks for the offer on the adapters but I already bought some earlier.

Just noticed in the eBay ad you posted that they guy says "... made to fit a Yamaha GSXR..."

They're a universal fitment, just the bolt that changes.
Its an M8 fine for the SV

Yeah I know they will fit the SV but shouldnt he have said Suzuki GSXR? Never knew Yamaha made Gixxers.
