I bought some swing arm bobbins for my paddock stand and discovered there isn't any mounting boss on the swing arm. I've noticed some pics of FZ6's with the bobbins. I'd like to know how to mount them.
When I was looking to install some on my last bike (never did), but there were two main options. drill and tap the swing arm yourself, or there was an item that I can't remember the specific name. But you drill all the way through the swingarm, there was a threaded anchor-nut bushing that you inserted into the inboard side, and the spool screwed into that. No welding or anything required.
Probably a "riv-nut". Seen em on TV (the car shows), slick tool...
