NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -
I have the complete Snap-on tapered set. I am certain that you could get similar set for less money elsewhere though. -
got a link to them? I am getting well over the two screwdrivers and wiggling the jugs down scenarios...LOLMY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

The Triumph twin ones work pretty well. I think mine are for the 650 and they fit spot on for a GS1000.79 GS1000S
79 GS1000S (another one)
80 GSX750
80 GS550
80 CB650 cafe racer
75 PC50 - the one with OHV and pedals...
75 TS100 - being ridden (suicidally) by my fatherComment

I thought of the beer or soda can strip but using zip ties Stan...but then having REAL ones are more convenient than search for cans each time you wanna do something.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

You not supposed to throw them way Chuck, they go back in the toolbox, eish you 'muricans and your disposable society.
But I agree, real proper type ones would be nice.Comment

I have one proper ring compressor, bought for car engines, where one pot at a time is done, but for putting bike lumps together, with the cramped space available, I use Jubilee clips and a bit of tin can.
