These cotton reels mount directly into the mounting points on the rear swingarm offering the best of both worlds in terms of crash protection and functionality with the ability to use R&G cotton reels, which offer excellent crash protection to those components located towards the rear as well as the ability to lift up the rear of the bike with a paddock stand for maintenance and tyre changes. Specially designed for the Kawasaki Ninja 250/400 '18- & Z400/Z250 '19-, Z500 (Ninja) '24-,  Ninja 7 Hybrid HEV / Z 7 Hybrid HEV '24-, they are designed to be slightly smaller than a standard "cotton reel" to enable them to pass the OE exhaust, which, under extreme riding condition, might impact with a standardly sized cotton reel.
