Neat.  And good videography.

One nice thing on Youtube under the settings is you can speed it up by 2x.  Makes the music strange, but slow videos more bearable.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. The metal frame had a piece that was bolted to the top of the triple tree but not obvious exactly where it was bolted into.

I think its the main top nut.

AT about 8m20 you can see him taking an adaptor off then at around 8m28 hes torquing something back up

That was funny.  Nice to know it isn't just me trying to figure out how to get that thing closed every time.

That's great, and he didn't have 5 or 6 hot accessory wires to stack on the + terminal.  ;D

Heheheh, we shouldn't have those either... just one extra ring lug running to our remotely mounted "extra duty box"...

I did like the "oh boy..." look he had on his face tho...

Simply loved the "work bench", great piece of furniture in a bike shop... gotta love Polish culture....

That was a nice little table. I have something like that around here. I'm gonna root through my stuff for a coffee table/workbench.
