    Old tools are like good friends

    I had this lying in my garage for a while. Bought a Willys jeep to rebuild and this was in the back with the engine. Willys has moved on but this stayed. I decided to clean and grease it. Ended up repainting it as well. Nice thing about old tools is they are normally fully serviceable with a few...

    How to remove this..?

    Find two bolts that fit snugly in the holes, put the bolts in the holes, insert a lever between the bolts and turn. Sorry my sketch is not better Sent from my SM-T505N using Tapatalk

    BMW top box latch

    It is normally the rivets that fail so if it is that then replace with machine screws and nylock nuts. If you dont take your topbox off often then bolt it to the frame. More secure and less rattling. Sent from my SM-T505N using Tapatalk

    F800gs cutting out when riding

    Not sure how old as i took the bike over from my son. Am going to buy a new battery anyway to eliminate the battery as it has given me shit in the past. Why i dont think it is fuel related is that the bike would die and and when you hit the start button it would just click the starter. Then you...

    F800gs cutting out when riding

    Have already changed the filter because of fuel starvation issues. Flying brick stock if you ever need. This was different. Have taken the battery out and charged it, it took about 20 minutes to be fully charged on a ctek. Flatted the terminals with a file because they had high points and put...
