I don't know! I mean on one hand, it lasted for 50,000+ miles of hard riding (originally on my '03)and I was REALLY on it when it broke. I considered knocking out the roll pins and installing a regular bolt with a lock nut but, I had the stock bolts laying around the house so..... Oh yea and the black brackets are for the stand and are honestly the main reason I went this way in the first place. It's hard to explain but they work so much better IMHO.

Oh the roll pin is to move the axle both forward and backward in the slot.
