Review on Motorcycle Swing Sliders Spools Kawasaki by Robert Toomey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple, cheap and works

These are casters for a bike stand and they work as they should. They went to my 2017 Kawasaki Z650. In the dozens of bikes I've owned, I've never had a road bike without a center stand, so a coil stand was essential. I've reviewed some of the larger ones out there, but they tend to look intrusive as they get larger. Now after living with them I find them more than just the right size for my task with my stand. There are plenty of v-grooves to keep the bike safe and secure on the stand. Almost all coils are made from aluminum, regardless of origin or price. When looking at other caster wheels, I noticed that the stand arms ruin the V-groove finish. Very logical. I would suggest going silver because no matter how good the anodized finish, the stand will ruin the color in the groove area. Silver does not show this as a color component. I received the black but can order a silver set just for the smile. The groove on mine is holding up great and only the anodizing is showing wear.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Out of fashion
