I am looking for some paddock stand swing arm spools that are longer than the typical 1-2" spools. (Wanting 3" to 3-1/2")I'm sure Others have noticed that the swingarms extra wide, I did find some black widow stands That work very nicely But requires long pools. I would like to get some longer Spools that use a 10 mm bolt Since the stock 8mm hole is a little bit too small Of a bolt. I made some long spools using a long 8mm bolt, But..... My roommate put his weight on the bike and it bent the long bolts a little bit.

-Hence my need and desire to use 10 mm bolts. Any suggestions?

Also, I plan to drill and tap the stock spool holes for 10mm. Thanks.

Longer = more leverage

Larger diameter bolt = stronger

increased hole size in swing arm = weaker

I think you have three risk factors making it more likely to damage the swing arm in a drop or some type of impact on the spools

Just get the frame slider with spools. A sponsor on here sales them for reasonable price!

I'm clutching at straws for a solution, Can you direct me in the right direction to find this vendor? I would much rather buy the proper spools. Thanks
