Product Information

Full details

The Oxford Motorcycle Paddock Stand Bobbins (M8 x 1.0mm) are essential for riders who perform their own maintenance and want a secure, damage-free way to lift their motorcycle using a rear paddock stand. Designed to act as a precise contact point, these bobbins prevent the stand's hooks from coming into contact with your bike's delicate swingarm, effectively eliminating common scratches and marring during the lifting process. While they offer superior stability and ease of use, you must ensure that your specific motorcycle model utilizes an M8 x 1.0mm mounting thread before purchase, as improper sizing will prevent correct installation.

FAQs

How do I know if these bobbins fit my bike?

Check your motorcycle's service manual or examine the mounting points on your swingarm to confirm they accept an M8 x 1.0mm bolt.

Do I need special tools to install these?

No, you generally only need a standard hex key (Allen key) corresponding to the bolt head size.

Can these be left on the bike permanently?

Yes, they are designed to remain on the motorcycle as a permanent fixture.

Do they come in different sizes?

The Oxford bobbins are available in various thread sizes, so ensure you have selected the M8 x 1.0mm variant.

Will these bobbins rust?

They are constructed from durable materials, but keeping them clean and dry will ensure they maintain their appearance over time.

Troubleshooting

Bobbin feels loose after installation

Ensure you have used a thread locker and the bolt is tightened to the manufacturer's torque specification.

Stand hooks do not fit into the bobbin groove

Verify that your paddock stand uses universal V-cup adapters; if the stand uses L-shaped cradles, they may not be compatible with bobbin-style lifts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents unsightly scratches and gouges on the swingarm
  • Simplifies the solo motorcycle lifting process
  • Provides a stable and secure connection for maintenance
  • Lightweight design prevents excess weight on the rear axle
  • Easy to install with basic hand tools

Cons

  • Requires M8 x 1.0mm mounting holes on your motorcycle
  • May require thread locker to prevent loosening over time
  • Not universal; incompatible with bikes requiring different bolt sizes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these bobbins, first verify that your motorcycle swingarm features an M8 threaded hole. Simply thread the bobbins into the existing mounts on the swingarm using an appropriate hex key. It is highly recommended to apply a small amount of medium-strength thread locker to the bolt threads before installation to ensure they remain secure under engine vibration.

When cleaning your bike, do not use harsh chemical degreasers directly on the bobbin surface, as this may degrade the finish. Periodic maintenance involves checking that the bobbins are still tightly fastened, as the weight of the motorcycle can cause minor settling over time. Always ensure your paddock stand hooks are properly seated in the groove before applying downward pressure to the stand handle.
