Rear Spools
10/29/16 7:00 PM

Can anyone recommend me a good set of rear spools for a 2016 zx14?

Thanks.

Vertical Horizon for the gen1 and I'm sure it's good for the gen2 too. You need spools withe the spacer in back so the lifting forks on the stand will clear the swingarm.

I've had other spools on there like these LuckyBikes. If they are made for the 14, they should work.

Well, I'm back buyin' spools. A spool's a spool, pretty much. I have the tiny button Pit Bull spools on my busa. I had little aluminum noname spools for the Gen1 and I went back to the big chunky Vertical Horizons. I really prefer the big delrin slider/spools for functionality. They seem easier to grab and lift and if you ask me, they look right for the 14. Vertical Horizon is what I recommend if anyone is looking for spools and they are now called Pro-tec. I recognize the packaging. It's the same that my old spools came in but the company I ordered from was Vertical Horizon at the time.

Thinking over mods and accessories, I'm leaning real hard toward much of the same stuff I did with my Gen1. It's weird but somehow, I expect to use all different parts on the new bike. I guess you spend as much time as I have thinking about this stuff and you already know what's best for you. Side stand, grips, levers, rearsets...all gonna be the same. When I get another bike, I'll have all the same stuff for it too.

...but actually, when I crashed, those Vertical Horizon slider/spools never touched the ground. There's not a mark on them. Same for the axle sliders. The frame sliders up on the engine mounts took the brunt and one busted off. There's just a small chip out of the frame mount. Personally, I think I'll go without frame sliders on this new bike. It's true, sliders are likely to cause more damage than they save. You need a set of spools though.

I have been using T-Rex spools and sliders on my bikes for the last 20 or so years. Have also used Sato Racing that are a bit more expensive.
