any kawasaki bobbins fit, 10mm i believe

and the lugs are under the swing arm, but they are prone to snap off

i think mine much have snapped off as ther is nothing at all i could screw into i think im going to have to get some custom made and then get them welded on.

why not just use a stand with rubber cups?

cause its for a race bike so the wheels will be on and off so the other type of stand makes getting the wheels off a harder job.

never found much difference between using cups and bobbins on my zxr, the torque bar gets in the way with both.

someone has already welded a set on but they have been took/broke off at somestage but u can see where thay have been weled and nothing seems to be in the way.but its getting another set of them now as u need fairly long one's.

On the L's the bobbins are 12mm and the left one needs to be longer than the right one to clear the swingarm, but if yours have broken it could be different. I got the '12MMF' ones from this site http://www.fastbikebits.com/acatalog/Pa ... ories.html

the frame and swing arm are hand made non production items so thats probs why they dont have the we lugg's so i will prob end up getting custom made one's then getting them welded on.

I see, what sort of weight loss do you get over the standard frame?
