If you get an abba stand you dont need bobbins, makes rear wheel removal a piece of Piss.

Use the ones kindly provided by Aprilia on your Falco - they masquerade as luggage hooks underneath the passenger seat most of the time.

You can use the bungee hooks under the rear seat as bobbins.
If you don't want to do that then take one of the bolts out and use that as the template. IIRC the thread is 1mm pitch, but don't put money on it.
