Designed for the Honda CBR500R (2013–2018), CB500F (2013–2018) and CB500X (2013–2018), these R&G Cotton Reels / Spindle Sliders offer a smart combination of protection and functionality. Mounted to a precision-engineered stainless steel block, they shield key rear components while making maintenance easier than ever.

The oversize cotton reels serve a dual purpose: they protect your swingarm, rear disc, and chain areas from impact or abrasion, and also allow your bike to be easily lifted using a paddock stand with hooks (recommended R&G stand hook code: SH0001).

Installation Instructions

Availability:

As of June 2026, R&G Racing supply is in limbo while a new Australian distribution system is set up. We believe this will be ready to go later this month, and then we will be able to return to weekly shipments from an Australian warehouse.

In the meantime, if our site shows this item as in stock (above), that means it's in our Bunbury warehouse and can ship immediately. If it shows as a pre-order, we cannot provide an exact ETA at this stage, but would expect it to be 4-6 weeks. 

We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to more reliable R&G Racing supply in the coming weeks.
