I had to add spacers to clear the swingarm....the rearstand was going to make contact with the arm and rip it up. How does it look? Ehhhh?
 
Na...they aren't used yet, but I did have to take them on and off three times and they did cause the chrome on the swingarm around the bolt are to peel. I was not happy at all.

I put it up on the stand tomorrow for some basic work. I was posting the pic mainly to see if I put too many spacers in there. I had to goto Home Depot and buy really long 8mm bolts and 5 washers for each side. I'm hoping they don't snap under any type of pressure.
 
I would use the grade 8 bolts. They are the strongest that the home improvements stores sell. The first time you put it up on the rear stands I would probably have someone else there with you to catch it if any thing goes wrong.
 
Looks like you extended them what 1/4"

Should be ok, But keep an eye on it for bending
 
I will...I'm not dazzled by these spools. Actually it's not the spools...it's the relative mounting position on the swing-arm.
