Will these guys be any cheaper for rappa pre loaded reels than rappa? Tried to get some discount from rappa on a whole new mains system but not interested in giving discount anymore:( Kiwikit seem a lot more keener.

You can try, but as there are only two outlets, that work closely together, I don't fancy your chances much.

If you have a RAPPA reeling system, then you are tied to their reels. If you are happy with hand reels, then you have more choice. I haven't priced Kiwikit wire recently, but they were always half a world away on pricing (see what I did there?:oops:) when I looked before.

Hi, just looking up these rappa winders, are Hondas with the single swing arm suspension man enough for a winder or should I be going for IRS?

Plenty of the straight axle type will have been used for rappas over the years.
They cope ok. Though the local Honda dealer did comment the fencing machines are hard on bikes.
It's a lot of weight. You want a decent sized bike if on steeper ground.

Black wheeled 420 handled it fine here although the bike was crap it handled the Rappa ok. Yam with IRS is much nicer fencing in every aspect plus you can turn at the end and don’t need to go through Paddington like you do with those Honda’s
