A couple of tools question
« on: June 06, 2011, 11:42:57 AM »
Do I have to buy a steering stem wrench from Kawi or is there another source?
There was mentioned before the crash, an air gauge do-dad from one of the suspension companies(?) that made it easy to add/subtract air without losing any when disconnected, can't remember the name? Thanks.

No you do not.... Look to www.mcmaster.com Hook Style Spanner Wrench 40 to 42 mm part # 6975A16

As to the air gauge do-dad that's from Progressive Suspension they can usually be found in the local HD shop under the HD brand.

Or...Go to any bicycle shop that sells accessories for mountain bikes.

The shock adjusting tool for most bikes with two rear shocks works well.  (Japanese or Harley)
If you don't have one, they're usually present in the onboard tool kit of that second bike you've been wanting to buy!   ;)

Heheh... I like the creative thinking!  And thanks for the reminder about the shock adjusting tool. I just realized that is one of those things I've got and looked at every time I move or organize stuff in the garage, questioning whether it's worth keeping. Glad I haven't tossed it yet.
