I bought a 2014 Aprilia Shiver for Chrimbo.
I rode one of these recently. I loved it.
2014 Christmas presents for your bike?

I bought these Vessel JIS screwdrivers .
I noticed that the screws on my bikes were getting boogered up even though i have good Mac screwdrivers and tried to be careful .
MCN featured these aand i had no idea Japanese cycles had these screws .
Years ago we had to use a manual impact screwdriver to work on Honda stuff ???
I just started wrenching on streetbikes a few years ago so this is all new to me .

Billy these were $35 for three . For the money they seem great . I havent used them yet but for working on the bike they will probally last my lifetime, but for a pro using them everyday maybe not . They do have a spot on end of handle for whacking it with a hammer and they are surrounded with tough silicone !!

There are louder ones but I specifically picked this one because it did not sound like a V8 wannabe and it did not have the highway drone that so many do.
The BAMA tune on my car is a huge improvement. I am not sure if the changes to air fuel rations is that impressive but the changes to the shift points and some of the other de-limited features are very, very pronounced. It pulls hard from the get go now rather than only on purposeful high revving with more than a few seconds of lead foot.

That's quite a huge difference between stock and the Borlas. Very nice!

Sounds nice Brad. It's amazing what a couple of computer tweaks will do.

I cleaned up some antique tire irons and put my Harbor Frieght tire changer together . I still need the balancer . I also got the big yellow thing that holds the tire from slipping during install .

Are the nubs that hold the rim in place made of delrin or some type of "no mar" material, or are they metal? From what I've seen online, you will almost certainly have to bolt that on to at least a pallet or some kind of platform in order to remove sport tires. Those 1-by's won't have enough strength to hold it in place by themselves, not from what I've seen anyways Lonney. I'm anxious to see how it works for you. I've been wanting to get one but I don't have enough room to have it bolted down to anything which is what I feel would allow it to work perfectly. Keep me up to date with this one bud!

Okay, just noticed that you taped them up in the photos. Sorry, I haven't had my coffee yet and I'm still not fully awake.

Billy i put sticky foam with gorilla tape on the rim holders , they need some heat applied to bend them inward for a better bite to rim .
I have the system screwed to the 1/2" plywood underlayment under the carpet and there is a tongue & groove ceiling on the ground floor !!

Billy this system unbolts pretty easy. You could assemble/ disasemble in about 30 minutes leaving some stuff asssembled !!
