Paddock bobbins

Stable and Safe Maintenance with Motorcycle Bobbins

Bobbins - also known as paddock stand spools - are small but essential parts for maintaining your motorcycle. They are mounted on the swingarm of the motorcycle and allow for the safe and stable use of a paddock stand. This way, you can easily lubricate your chain, change tires, or store your motorcycle upright without the risk of it falling over.

What Exactly Are Motorcycle Bobbins?

Bobbins are usually made of strong aluminum, steel, or plastic and are screwed into the mounting points on the motorcycle's swingarm. The paddock stand then engages with the bobbins, lifting the motorcycle securely and keeping it stable. They therefore provide a safe and practical solution for maintenance and storage.

Benefits of Using Bobbins

• Increased Stability: Prevents the motorcycle from tipping over during maintenance.
• Protection: Prevents damage to the swingarm when using a paddock stand.
• Easy Maintenance: Ideal for cleaning the chain or rear wheel.
• Quick to Install: Usually attachable with an Allen key or socket wrench.
• Small Investment, Big Convenience: Affordable and immediately noticeable in ease of use.

How to Choose the Right Bobbins?

Not every motorcycle has the same thread size in the swingarm. Therefore, always check which type and size (e.g., M6, M8, or M10) is suitable for your motorcycle. Some motorcycles require specific adapters or spacers. If in doubt, you can always contact our specialists for appropriate advice.
