I have an idea for a contest, The best homemade tool. It could be something you made instead of buying a new one, or something you made for a specific job. Post a picture of it and tell what it was used for. Main thing is it had to work! What do ya think?

This sounds like a good idea

Hmmm, I think Jim has the cleanest looking tool. He made a wrench basically. It was for his carrier bearing nut. Its something ridiculous like 45mm. He cut out all six sides for it and welded them up super nice. Jim also has his tire bead breaker. I will find a picture and post it for him. I will have to get pictures of some of my things.

The Radial disengagement Tool(LOL) is KILLER! And the garbage cans in the background just makes it better!!

How about the best homade accessory for your bike. Im in the process of building some stainless stel frame guards for my KX and a side stand that will fold up and stow against the swing arm. I will post pictures soon.

Cant wait to see them. If you have the step by step building process as a tutorial that would be kinda cool too

Junkman · 05-24-2008, 06:46 AM

I will take pictures of the whole process.
