Only took me about 30 mins to make and once pumped up it leaves both hands free and I'm sure I can get the axle exactly aligned when required :)

The bendy Plug spanner is a must. I even use the back of it to take out my Rad bolts when checking my front plug and or doing a Carb sync :D

Just as an aside I made this for the next time I need to raise and fit my rear wheel off the ground and align the axle from an idea on the US SV site,

I agree. That was a badly thought out original fitting :(

Would you be able to ignore the old petcock for now and fit your own new one where required ? You can get the compression fittings from ScrewStation <grin>.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Chin up and hope you get better and don't let it put you off riding. I hate this time of year because our roads always seem slick so I double my,"Bubble" in traffic e.g ride as if it was raining :/

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

I agree and there's lot of Americanisms that have crept in over the years but that's language for you.

I don't like the misuse of the word,"Bring" instead of,"Take" by the Americans. You...

Some of the early CDI Ignition systems had timing trouble caused by the Back EMF from when as you say the,"Voltage Jump" spark occurred.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
