-Fueltank:
This
week Aad was completing the welding on the Superglide tank when
he found that the material was extremely thin on some places.
I should have checked that before doing all the work, for now
we will continue with some of the other parts while deciding
what to do with the tank.
-Gearbox:
The part where the driveshaft attaches to the gearbox (see arrow)
needed replacing because 2 of the 4 threads were bad. To remove
this part you need a special tool so I figured I might as well
make a few extra. I made a CAD drawing and had 5 of them lasercut
in stainless steel, the other 4 are for sale. I like special
tools!
-Springer:
When assembling the springer forks on the frame I noticed the
big nut between neck and top tree. I had no tool to fasten this
without damaging it and after looking through all my parts catalogs
I saw that none of them have a tool for this nut either! I made
a CAD drawing again and had 5 special tools lasercut in stainless
steel. Works like a charm! The other 4 are for sale , I'm sure
there are other people out there who will get a kick out of
this tool.
