yea no reason not to leave them on all the time, use some red locktite and you will be good to go.

Only use red locktite if you never plan on taking them off, ever. Blue will work just fine in case you do decide to take them off later.

Removing the rear tire is a pain with the spools and a rear stand. Backing the nut off hits the stand. Mine anyway.

Well obviously the problem is your friend has a Z1000

I bought the GYTR spools and I can't say they've ever been in the way.

He is probably using spool sliders...you just want spools...I am running lockhart Philips and they were cheap (under 10$) and they are black, and they are slim..never had a problem with them or the pitbull stand.

a little trick with red lockttite. don't put in on the end of your bolt. a drop at the top of the bolt, 1 or 2 threads on to where the locktite just disappears will make removal easier even if heating the bolt head is necessary.
