    Home made tools

    I keep a box of the cheap generic tools in the corner. These wrenches are great for bending and making that special tool. A propane torch will heat them enough to bend. Use a wire or old coat hanger to form the necessary bends for a pattern, heat and bend the wrench. If a wrench is ruined during...

    Carb experts wanted!

    Make your own clutch nut socket

    Excellent job. I fabricate the most of special tools I need, but they seldom look as clean as your clutch removal socket. Those Dremels are handy. :clapping: :clapping:

I have done all my wrenching on the bikes I own. I prefer the older machines, contact points and kick...
