RENO Aluminum Swingarm Spools 8mm Pair — SP1-M8 Black, Hard-Anodized CNC 6061 for Paddock Stands

RENO SP1-M8 Aluminum Swingarm Spools Slider PRO are durable 8mm motorcycle spools that lift and protect your bike while providing a secure mount for paddock stands.

These precision-machined swingarm spools are made from 6061 aviation-grade aluminum with a hard-anodized finish to resist corrosion and wear. CNC-cut tolerances and a flat spool profile give a snug fit and stable support when using rear paddock stands or when parking and servicing your motorcycle. Sold as a pair in black, the SP1-M8 fits motorcycles with 8mm spool mounting bolts and includes washers to help achieve a flush installation when needed.

Will these spools fit my bike's swingarm?

They are designed specifically for motorcycles that accept 8mm spool bolts; measure the bolt diameter in your swingarm to confirm compatibility. Some common sportbikes are compatible, but certain models require the 10mm option—verify before ordering.

• Compatible with 8mm threaded spool mounts
• Not suitable for ZX6R (1995–2012), ZX10R (2004–2010), EX650 (2006–2016), Z1000SX (2011–2012)
• Use the 10mm/1.25 spools for incompatible models
• Includes washers to achieve flush seating if needed

How do these spools help during maintenance and storage?

When mounted, the spools provide secure lift points for rear paddock stands so the rear wheel spins freely for cleaning, tire changes, and chain work. The widened contact surface reduces stress on the swingarm and helps prevent cosmetic damage during lifting or stationary storage.

• Stable lift points for safer rear-wheel removal and alignment
• Increased contact area to lower risk of swingarm marks
• Fast installation for quick transition to maintenance mode
• Helps keep the motorcycle upright and steady in the garage

What are the construction and durability features of the SP1-M8?

Manufactured from 6061-grade aluminum, these spools combine light weight with high strength. A hard-anodized outer layer adds abrasion and corrosion resistance, while CNC machining ensures consistent dimensions so bolts and spacers seat properly.

• 6061 aviation aluminum body for strength and low weight
• Hard-anodized finish protects against fading and rust
• CNC precision machining for accurate bolt fitment
• Smooth, flat spool faces to maximize force distribution

What should I know before installing the spools?

Confirm your swingarm bolt size is 8mm and check clearance for the spool width. If the spools don’t sit flush against the swingarm, insert the included washers; tighten to the manufacturer-recommended torque and recheck periodically for security.

• Measure bolt hole diameter before purchase
• Use included washers if the spool isn’t flush
• Follow proper torque specs; check for loosening after initial rides
• Not a universal fit—verify bike model compatibility first

Who is this for: The RENO SP1-M8 is ideal for sportbike riders and home mechanics who need reliable, compact lift points for paddock stands and want to protect swingarm finishes during maintenance or storage. Choose these spools if your bike uses 8mm mounting bolts and you value durable, CNC-accurate components that blend function with a low-profile aesthetic.
