Genuine R&G Swingarm Cotton Reels for RSV4 2016
These were purchased to add a little protection and also to utilise a paddock stand for maintenance on the Aprilia RSV4 2017 model. The part was pretty easy to find with using the R&G website. Webike price was really good and with a few other parts in my order, all was shipped and delivered by EMS in 5 days. All was packaged really well and no damage. These are super nice spools for the bike, they are fairly chunky but this means you will not have an issue with slippage like you get with some of the small spools. I have had previous experience with these in the even tof a crash, they relly do protect the spindle to the rear wheel. They are made from a plastic mix but I am unsure of exactly what. The spools themselves look great when fited and the R&G logo printed on the sides is a nice touch. Really clean and machined good. You even get a set of new bolts that are stainless steel I believe. Very pleased withe the purchase. Thanks Webike.

Genuine R&G Cotton Reels for 09 Fireblade
There were a couple of other parts that I wanted to get for project track bike which will help protect the bike if there is any accident. These are what I decided to get and the added bonus is that not only will they protect the swingarm but you use them to lift the rear wheel with a paddock stand. Dual purpose which is brilliant.I found the correct part numbers by checking R&G website and adding the model of bike. Very pelased to see that Webike also stock them, so purchased them from here instead.The price is roughly what I could get them for locally but I can count of Webike delivering my items on time and without a hitch. The outer box was sealed and the littel bit of empty space inside the box was filled with buble wrap. All my parts, even the samller ones arrived in perfect condition. The cotton reels came in their own box which was nice and touch so there would be no damage. They have a really smoothed out thread on the bolts which went in smoothly, not notchy or sharp edged. They attach to the mounting points on the swingarm with no issue. The cotton reels themselves are made from a special nylon I believe, don't quote me on that though but they are very similar to the others I have purchased. I tried them with my standard paddock stand and they are a perfect fit, no wobble like some other cotton reels so a very good product all around. Very pleased with the result. Thank you Webike for your hard work. View detail

It protected me well.
I installed these on my ZX-6R (2012) which I use only for circuit driving. I installed it as a contingency plan, but once during a run, the front of the bike slipped on the Left Corner and the bike tipped over in a matter of seconds. The Offset Slider was scraped off, but the Swing Arm was intact and protected me well. The Bolt that was attached to the Swing Arm did not break either.
I have installed them in various parts of my ZX-6R as a precautionary measure, but considering the direct damage to the component parts after a situation occurs, I felt that the cost-effectiveness was extremely large. I am very glad I installed it. I highly recommend it.

One of the best
I used to use Anodized Finishing, but the color faded and peeled off, so I decided to use Material:I chose Plastic. The color does not fade, does not peel, and is offset, so when you hang a hook on it, the hook is less likely to hit the frame, so it is less likely to get scratched.
I have been using it for years and it has lasted a long time.
Scratches will be applied, but Material:Plastic, so it remains in Black color.

No difference
I purchased this product to improve the appearance of the image rather than to maintain it. It was a good decision to buy it. View detail
I haven't tried the effects of Slider, so...
It's installed on the RSV4.
I bought it because I thought it would be useful as a Slider and Stand Hook.
Installation is very easy.
Just remove the OEM chain adjuster and replace it.
It looks and parenthesis better!
However, its effectiveness as a Slider is still unclear, so we'll save the imprints for the future.
The effect as a Stand Hook is that you can use it normally, but it has to be in the normal Hook position when you load it in your car, as it will be further back than the normal position.
As a result, I don't use it as a Stand Hook.
