I stand corrected! Most of the spools I've seen mention drilling. I haven't looked into the Evotech spools. Thanks for the correction PN!I bought mine from evotech-performance! There is no drilling or anything required! There is a post somewhere in this forum for the install for this mod! Anyways, here is the link for the spools!http://www.evotech-performance.com/acatalog/info_7170.html
Where/how did you find this!?
I'm not sure what your asking.Where/how did you find this!?
Asking where you found that thread.I'm not sure what your asking.
I came across the spools while looking for aftermarket parts for the FZ6R/XJ6 since some parts are interchangeable. I ordered the spools (listed for the XJ6) and gave them a try. They worked and I couldn't be more pleased.
I made it!!Asking where you found that thread.

You are correct. These are attached using the axle bolt. They are great for service and general maintainance. The less I have to lift from the swingarm, the fewer chances I have of scratching or damaging it. I lift by the swingarm when I need to remove the wheel.I almost went that route because I thought it would be great to have the spools but when I looked closer at the product I came to the conclusion below:
They appear to me to work great if you are just wanting them for servicing your chain.......but if you need to remove your rear wheel I do not think they will allow that. It looks to me they are tied to the bracket that supports the axle so if you need to remove the wheel to change tires you will not have any support since when you remove the axle you remove that bracket but maybe I am mistaken. Does anyone here have any first hand experience with this?
I think that the spools would need to be mounted into the swing arm to allow the axle to be removed and the bike still supported. It works with the cheap Harbor Freight stand but it is not as elegant as having spools and a stand with spools forks for lifting.
