R&G Cotton Reels

Cotton Reels by R&G

A product with two uses, allowing the use of prong-type paddock stands and helping to protect the swingarm of the bike.

Cotton reels are oversize paddock stand bobbins. Almost a mini version of R&G’s crash protectors the cotton reel is constructed of the same high density polyethylene (HDPE) and held in place with a de-embrittled steel bolt designed to help absorb an impact rather than twist its mounting point. Doubling up as paddock stand bobbins, they allow the motorcycle’s rear wheel to be lifted with the use of a paddock stand, in order to carry out cleaning or chain lubrication, or for storage.
