Choose 6mm-thread motorcycle fittings by the complete mounting specification. For paddock-stand bobbins and swingarm spools, the thread diameter is only one part of a secure, correctly aligned fit.
Check the threaded mounting point
Confirm that the motorcycle has the appropriate mounting bosses and that the chosen kit is specified for its model and year. Check thread pitch, usable bolt length and any required spacers alongside the 6mm diameter. Do not force a fastener that does not engage correctly, or select one solely because its head and finish resemble the old part.
Match the bobbin to the stand
A spool needs a suitable lifting groove and clearance for the stand hooks. Consider the assembled position, including any offset, rather than judging the loose component alone. Bike It’s hook-stand instructions call for correctly fitted swingarm bobbins and clearance around surrounding components. Follow the stand and fitting instructions together.
Keep the complete kit together
Compare supplied bolts, spacers and left/right arrangements before ordering a replacement. GBRacing’s instructions illustrate how hardware can vary between motorcycle applications even within a thread-size group. Use the specified fitting method and torque for your exact kit; a general 6mm selection does not provide a universal installation setting.
