Swingarm Stand - anyone add spools?

Have any of you added spools to your bike to use a swingarm (track) stand?

I never installed the spools but I use a swingarm stand like this one from Pit Bull every time I give the 610 a bath.

In the short term a pair of screwdrivers are working for chain maintenance and times I need the bike standing up straight.

Where would the spools thread into? On my Strada, the axles don't have any threads.

I am not really sure, that’s why I asked.
Welding a tapped block to the underside of the swing arm would work best, but I am not sure I want to do that yet.

I do think it’s the same as the BMW X-bikes (and similar to my DRZ) in that you can use a threaded rod through the axel hole with the spools on either side.
That works fine for general use, chain maintenance and what not (just like my screw drivers do), but it won’t work for wheel removal or chain adjustments.

Just had another look at the swingarm. It's steel so welding could be OK. the easiest would be to weld a long nut used for threaded rod to the bottom of the swingarm just forward of the sprocket or disc ( take you pick) or behind the axle under the flat bit. You can use the threaded rod through both to ensure they are in line ( my pick would be HT 10x1.5M).
There used to be some classes in road racing that had a rule that the swingarm could not be modified between the pivot and the axle. Fitting spools where there was no fittings stock was ruled out in that region. Enterprising racers made axle alignment blocks that came out behind the axle ( only useable if the wheel was still in) or welded small plates BEHIND the axle adjusting area with a threaded hole in it for the spools. The Husky would prob be ok with that and has the benefit of not stuffing the temper of the load part of the swingarm if it is sensitive to heat. The adjusting block goes all the way to the back so you would have to be careful of plate attachment. Also a strap from the outside top to the adjusting area to the outside bottom in a triangle with a nut at the apex would work.
They all require removing the swingarm to do a good job so I have refrained so far.

My buddy Rob made a simple little 'A' frame that uses a slide through the rear axle to engage both sides of the stand. He can push the bike forward and the stand follows. To pop it up on the stand just roll the bike back a foot.

SW Motech centerstand.......chain maintenance doesn't always happen in the shop

Interesting....next time you are over there, take a pic

I am lucky to tour 2 times a year, the track stand covers me the vast majority of the time.
I have a handy light weight adjustable prop stick to cover my limited on the road maintenance/repairs.
Infact the right hand side chain of the Terra works even better with the the prop stick than any of my other bikes.

I had or installed a center stand on all my bikes including an X-Challange, and all after market ones were SW Motech's too.
That was untill I bought a Buell & Versys, as there wasnt one available for either of those bikes.
I fretted over this a lot.
Once I got a track stand, spools and the prop stick, I got over the need for a center stand.

They are handy, but I dont see adding one to this bike.

I put the SW Motech stand on and was very impressed...it also widened out the pegs about a half inch on each side which worked for me. I do spend a LOT of time out on the road so I tend to gravitate towards the center stand for that reason. After a 650 mile day if chain maintenance is not fast, it will not get done. I'll have to see if my single sided stands will fit with the correct adapter....
