So I just bought the stand from northern tools and as I was buying them, right next to the silver stand I saw a red one that had actually been reviewed

What is the difference? the weight it can hold? (It is not like my bike weighs anything close to 600lbs. anyways)




My important question. I know that the stand i just bought needs spools. Does anyone know where to buy them, and what size? (I know in these forams ive only been asking questions but just give me sometime and I will start giving the advice :cool:)

thanks everyone.

these are the swingarm spools that i got. i actually bought the whole "crash kit".

but they do sell them individually. looks and feels very substantial.

You can get spools just about anywhere (any motorcycle shop, brick & mortar or online). Most Kawasakis, including our Ninjette, use standard 10mm spools. That means the screw itself is 10mm. Some versions fit a little better than others depending on the shape of the lip, but many come with optional spacers to put them out a couple mm anyway. That way they won't rub up against the swingarm itself.

That stand looks like it could be a front fork stand.

Correct, that's a front fork stand. You can get spools on eBay for something like $9.00 a pair. I've bought a bunch of em. TREX or something like that.
