swingarm

[rocky1966]

i have a yamaha fazer fzs600 2003,foxeye model, if i want to use a rear paddock stand,do i have to use the mounts that go under swing arm ? i would much rather use bobbins, but there is no hole in swing arm to acept these, can the swing arm be safely drilled and tapped, or spindle drilled and tapped,cheers for any sugestions, Roy.

Not really mate, you could have dowels drilled and tapped welded to the undersides as most bikes have, but what the point really the under cups work fine admittedly you get better access to the rear caliper/sprocket.
