    Get them welded on, or a paddle stand

    My 749 didn't have a spot for spools, but you could buy adjuster blocks that were drilled to accept them. I don't know if they are available for other bikes, though.

    Re: question about swingarm spools

    On my F3's (which I believe have the same swingarm setup?), I simply drilled two small holes through the outside of the swingarm.

    With the chain adjusters out, I could reach in and put a nut on the back of a standard spool.

    Worked great on both of my F3's that I raced.

    go with the spools, they help save your swing arm to a point in a crash too

    I have a swingarm from my F4i race bike with spools already welded on. It's for sale. I can also have yours modified for you if you like.
