Swingarm Spools on ZXR750 - What You Got?

Post by Bogan »

I got a set of Kawasaki 10mm spools and the bolts are too small for my spool mounts on the swingarm. What do you have, what do they look like, what size are they?

Got pics?

if you're looking for different sized bolts, have a look around you're area for a nuts, bolts, screws/fasteners mob. they will be able to tell you exactly what the thread is and supply you with the bolts. i had to do the same with my spools from my old zxr250, the bolts were too big for the '10 so i went to my local fasteners company and got a pair of bolts to fit.
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

The guy who owned mine previously just used bolts, but I had to go and try to remove them to put some spools in and you can guess what happened, I broke one of the mounts off the swingarm :oops: Still got to get it welded back on :?

they are 12mm, not 10mm. dunno about the pitch of the thread though. i got a pair off ebay andd then my engineer brother machined down the 12mm allen key bolts to fit.

They will be standard over the counter M12 or M10 Bolts.

Pitch on std metric M12 thread should be 1.75. and M10 =1.5. (IRC)
