Default Rear Spool Size and Spacer Question

Can someone please tell me what size our rear swingarm spool bolt size is for sure.

Also, do we have to use a spacer for most off the shelf spools, or is it just a nice idea. I am about to buy a Redline Swivel Stand and want to get the matching spools that fit perfectly into the stand. I am sure their spools will just be flat on the bike side like most of the others out there.

It needs M8 spools with a spacer about 6mm thick and no more than 20mm in diameter.

8mm But it requires a spacer, I recommend woodcraft spool, They have the spacer built in to the spool, no wear using a pitbull stand on them. Here the Link.

Spools all Woodcraft Technologies

Are the spool sliders that ones with the built in spacers. If I were to get the regular sliders would I need to purchase the spacers seperately?

I use the spools from Rider's Discount.

See this thread:

Swingarm Spools for BMW S1000RR

I like them and they works well with Pit Bull Stand. They bolt right up, no fuss no muss. I like the fact that they are made of Delrin and Aluminum. It is a very quiet design in that it is not festooned with manufacturer logos.
