I guess this is the stand that you are talking about?

Here are some 8mm spools and 10mm spools.

What is the 8 and 10mm reference? Bolt size? I may look into getting those for my arm. I figure all I can do is to drill and tap the rear arm and maybe use some blue locktite. ???

You see, I come from a world of Suzuki Samurai's where there wasn't much aftermarket support for years and we had to build all of our own stuff. I have made bumpers, sliders, axle guards, and pretty much anything else you could think of over the years with good success. It also doesn't help much that I am cheap.
all I had to buy was the wheels, bolts for the wheels and paint. I probably could have gotten cheaper wheels but the bolts and nuts were close to $10 at westlake. I ended up knocking a big hole in $30 for parts. I didn't have anything but the idea and the metal when I started. I wish I had the chop saw, would have been much easier than using the 3" cutoff wheel I used.

yeah, that's the stand I was talking about and you are correct about the 8 and 10 being bolt size.

I assume the 10mm would be better for a heavier bike, like.........mine? I have no problem lifting my bike by an 8mm bolt at all but at the same time, you have to keep in mind that I am going to have to drill and tap the swingarm to be able to use these. I thought about have a machine shop near where I work to weld a small bung under the arm to allow me to bolt the spools on but I simply don't want anyone welding my shit besides me and I am not setup to do aluminum.
