R&G Cotton Reels (Offset) for Honda CBR650F, CB650F '14+, African Twin CRF1000L '16+

Suitable for the Honda CBR650F '14-, Honda CB650F '14-, Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L '16-, Africa Twin Adventure Sports '18-'19, CB650R '19- / CBR650R '19- / CB1000 Hornet & SP '25- models. These Cotton Reels mount into a specially designed block, replacing the original chain adjuster blocks. The product gives protection to the swingarm, rear disc and chain areas. Also the bike can be lifted on the Cotton Reels, using a paddock stand with hooks (suggest R&G code SH0001) to perform maintainence and cleaning. Come in pairs.

Cotton Reels are large paddock-stand supports that thread into the mounting points on your swingarm, giving you a secure and reliable lifting point while also helping protect the swingarm itself in the event of a slide or drop. 

For bikes where the mounting holes aren’t centred or the swingarm shape creates clearance issues, we also offer offset Cotton Reels. These use a stepped or angled design to shift the lifting point outward, ensuring the paddock stand engages cleanly and safely — even when a straight, screw-in reel won’t fit correctly.

Whatever your swingarm layout, standard or awkward, there’s a cotton reel option that keeps your bike stable and easy to lift.
