Yamaha XJ6 Paddock Bobbins

[gibbopool2003]

I'm looking to install some rear paddock bobbins on my XJ6 but I don't know which to buy or how to fit them. I saw these online and thought they where an excellent idea:

1112 TRex CBR250R Spool Adapters , Swingarm Slid

I was wondering if they did any for the XJ6 and if they did them in the UK??
Has anyone else seen or used these

The swingarm on xj6 and fz6r are the same I assume so yes these will work, but not the link you have which is for cbr250. I have these on my 6R and they work great.

I use them...love them...

as stated in some other threads there has been confusion with customer service not knowing the difference in what they sell. But if you talk to the managers they can usually get you taken care of quickly. I had some issues getting replacement parts for a broken spool, which is why I know this. they had sent me the wrong size spool to replace the one I broke...twice... all has been rectified though, and they even offered to pay return shipping for their mistakes.

I did have to sand down my inserts to get them on though. another well documented issue.

Hence the benefit to the t-rex ones...

as you can see in this picture...once on the bike they don't look all that big...kind of blend in.

Think they are mostly called swingarm spools here. I assume spools because they look like a spool of thread. I assume yours are called paddock in reference to where you would keep your steed, bobbins i have no idea lol.

if you have ever sewn... you wrap thread around a bobbin... and put that bobbin in the sewing machine...probably has something to do with the origin of the word...

This is suck an educational forum
i have been told brits drive on the other side of the road because most people are right handed and if you "ride" down the left lane you can still swing your sword at oncoming enemies. Any you guys want to confirm that one

When driving in the US,man! the head trauma I suffered at first when driving
Shit everything was all back to front, left is right and right is left!
Turn left at lit intersections, felt strange
Checking blindspots was the worst though!

It reminded me of the sensation, when as a kid my brothers and I would attempt to walk around the house with a mirror under our noses -looking at the ceiling whilst walking.

Well my experiance of driving on the wrong side of the road was in Spain somewhere.


All is fine when there is lots of traffic about..keeps you on your toes!

I came up to the end of a T junction in a very quiet part of town wanting to turn right... which I did so with a van full of kids and families.. no cars about so was an easy manvouver!

about 200m down the road it was pointed out to me that I was driving down the wrong side of the road!

I was never aloowed to forget this!
