Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with stainless steel fasteners, they give a stout, corrosion‑resistant anchor point so you can lift, service, or store your bike with confidence. They ship in a set with washers and are compatible with a wide range of sport, street, and off‑road models — check thread size before buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich bikes will these spools fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are designed for motorcycles with an 8mm threaded spool mounting point.
