FAQs
What is the primary purpose of R&G Cotton Reels?
Their primary purpose is twofold: to protect the motorcycle's swingarm and drive components from damage during a fall, and to serve as mounting points for a paddock stand, aiding in maintenance.
Are R&G Cotton Reels universal fit?
No, R&G Cotton Reels are model-specific. You must ensure you purchase the correct version for your motorcycle's make, model, and year.
How do I know if these will fit my bike?
You should consult R&G's official product listings or compatibility guides, or contact a dealer to confirm fitment for your specific motorcycle model and year.
What material are they made from?
They are made from tough, resilient materials designed to withstand impact and regular use.
Can I use these with any paddock stand?
They are designed to work with most standard aftermarket paddock stands that utilize bobbins or bobbins-style receivers.
How often should I check the cotton reels?
It is recommended to check them periodically for wear and security, and always after any incident where they may have contacted the ground.
What should I do if a cotton reel is damaged?
If a cotton reel shows signs of damage, it should be replaced promptly to ensure continued protection and stability.
Troubleshooting
Cotton reels do not screw in properly
Verify that you have the correct model for your motorcycle and that the threads on the reel match the swingarm's mounting point. Ensure no debris is present in the swingarm threads.
Paddock stand does not engage securely
Ensure the cotton reels are fully and correctly installed. Check that your paddock stand is designed to work with bobbins of this size and is adjusted correctly.
Visible wear or damage after a minor incident
Replace the affected cotton reel immediately. While designed to be sacrificial, damaged reels may not offer adequate protection or stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the designated mounting points on your motorcycle's swingarm. These are typically threaded holes specifically designed for bobbins or cotton reels.
- Ensure the threads on the cotton reels match the threads on your swingarm.
- Carefully screw the R&G Cotton Reels into the mounting holes. Hand-tighten first to ensure proper alignment, then use an appropriate tool (if necessary and recommended by the manufacturer) to secure them firmly. Avoid over-tightening.
Compatibility:
These R&G Cotton Reels are designed to fit specific motorcycle models. It is crucial to verify compatibility with your motorcycle's make, model, and year before purchase. Refer to R&G's official compatibility charts or consult with your dealer. The MPN `CR0001BK` is specific to the black colour variant.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the cotton reels for any signs of damage, wear, or loosening. After any incident where they may have made contact with the ground, a thorough inspection is essential.
- Clean the cotton reels with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the material.
- Periodically check that they remain securely fastened to the swingarm.
