Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Sodding bike electrics! An hour of **** farting to get the alternator case back on the bike
sent with the power of thought, through the medium of magic marker

Collected a Kawasaki EN500 for the mrs last night. Now she's going to have to do her DAS, despite repeated prodding to do it earlier.

They are a brilliant idea.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I am so gonna get one of those for my ABBA stand
I've plugged in a present to myself, I bought a Dennon soundbase for my TV, not as good as a full system, but a big improvement on standard TV speakers

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
they are nice but not that easy to use. looking at the vid the bloke makes it look oooohhhh soooo easy pulling on the strap... borloks it is, you have to put all your weight on the swingarm and pull with all your might. another thing is loosening it again, the bike dont come down gentle. it's nice to have the front in the air without anything hindering it but a headstock stand is way better. it will be nice to take to others when i'm doing their front ends as it will be a lot less space in the boot.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
That looks so handy! Much easer than tying stuff to the roof. What was the damage from the drop Lance?

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Yep, headstock stand is better, but mine takes up too much room in my garage for the amount of time its used.
So one of these is a great alternative
