I was wondering if the spools are different then the ones for the 300 I believe they where 10 mm but want to know what you guys think

Spools are 8mm and depending on design will probably need a washer/spacer or two to not interfere with the swing arm.

They are smaller than the 300

Swingarm Spools

I got these 8mm ATOM spools from Amazon, they were my first mod and work great.

They have stainless bolts behind the "cap" and are well made. I got them because I liked the clean look.

Nice how it complements the color scheme to your bike! I may consider the all black for my bike!

They look good. I like the green

 

[Phaze]

Looks great, love that they come in accented colors.

Search for "ATOM Green 8MM Kawasaki", you can find them on Amazon, ebay or from MC Motoparts Motorcycles Parts Online Store directly.

I received in the mail and fitted these bobbins this week. I went for these ones because they were the only 8mm red ones I could find with a black cap screw. It's all about the colour co-ordination

Just got to sort my rear stand now. I've got an old under fork front stand that I'm going to modify.

These are cheap and work well for a light bike. Anyone that knows HF is aware that most of the stuff they sell is low quality but at $29.99 (on sale, or use their 20% coupon) I think they are reasonable.

They look great and I may buy a set. Based on the pics on Amazon, the vendor brand are on the spools. Did you install yours in such a way where the branding is on the bottom and more hidden?

Nevermind. If the hex caps are free spinning from the spool, then I can understand how the brand can be positioned to be less visible. I just ordered the ones in black on Amazon.

Yes I did. The "cap" is threaded also but has no branding, which reminds me I need to check they are tight as I didn't put any thread locker on those (just the bolts).

Thanks for confirming!

The spool has a separate stainless steel bolt going through it, so you can set it in any position you like and then tighten. The cap then screws on to cover the screw for a clean look.

Bought the same ones, and installed yesterday! Thanks for the link.

I'm confused. Do the spools for the Ninja 400 use 8 mm bolts or 10 mm bolts? Could someone please clarify/verify? Many thanks.

It's 8mm my good sir.

Thanks for the clarification, Lunchbox. it somehow got into my head that the N300 and N400 use the same size spools (i.e., components common between the two models). Now I can start looking for the right ones.
