Post by: gentlemanjim on October 30, 2017, 08:32:22 PM
I see them advertised, but where do they mount?

One of the guys here that’s well versed will know for sure, but I believe (?) only the aluminum swing arms were drilled out for the bobbins. I have no idea the years.

kopf is correct.

I suppose you could drill and tap, but there wouldn't be enough material thickness for me to consider them.

A better solution would be a threaded insert, IMO.

The best solution is a rear stand that doesn't use bobbins.

Some of the aluminum swing arms had bobbins, some didn't.  My bike is a didn't.  Here is an option  https://www.pit-bull.com/motorcycle-apparel-accessories/motorcycle-spools-kits/weld-on-spool-adapters-steel-aluminum-or-929-f0019-000

Spools were welded to the aluminum swingarms of some bikes at the factory, like on my M900.

The hollow aluminum swingarms were not drilled for factory or aftermarket spools.

M750s didnt come with alum swingarms
Pit Bull makes an insert that you can drill/add to your swingarm to mount the bobbin
