Bolt size for swingarm lifting spools on '05 Busa?

[DrewBone]

Greetings folks. I'll be machining my own lifting spools for my '05 LE and would like to verify the thread pitch of the fasteners used to attach each to the swingarm.

Am I correct in my belief that the bosses & lifting spool fasteners are threaded m8 x1.25?

Thanks in advance for your time and ka-knowledge

You are correct M8 x 1.25

Spools that spin are easier to use than those that don’t. Which are you making?

To be honest, I have to claim ignorance of spools that rotate. Thinking about it, it does makes some amount of sense, but I'd be concerned about the fasteners loosening and bending, possibly leading to a spilled bike. And considering the limited amount of time the bike'll be on stands, I'll probably just go with the standard spool design.

Thanks much for the response!

Thank you kindly! It'll save me from playing musical fasteners

Mine on both bikes are from Yoshimura so I figured they’d be safe enough. It’s in the lifting that I feel the ease of using them.
