trumpeteer Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Triumph single sider innit hoona ?, I've hung my 15st off a 4 foot scaffold pole/breaker bar combo and still not been able to remove my Speed Triple nut, had to wait for a garage to open with an air gun, good luck.

hoona6 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Tempt it with trifle. It doesn't like jelly. The missus will be enlisted in the morning to provide rear brake standage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaycee Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hoona, where did you get the 46mm socket? I point blank refuse to pay my local Triumph dealer's over-inflated prices (too scared to ask how much actually!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annaz Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Impact gun is my recommend. Swinging around on a scaffold pole is something you rarely see in bike garages these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoona6 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Huzzah. Thanks to my immense strength (pfft) I got the fecker off this morning. Big to Protyre in Fareham who sorted me out with a 45 minute fit to loose wheels; new valves, balanced and carried to and from the car for £20 this morning. Recommended.

lorenzo Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Next time you have a crash and spazz up your forks, keep the old bent tube*, it's a perfect little extension for these kinds of situations. *My old VFR is the bike that keeps on giving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speakers got binned along with the amplifier, but I kept the tubing as I knew it would come in handy. Just fits nicely over the breaker bar of my socket set. Currently I have "on loan" a 3 foot long shifter that made rear wheel nut removal possible when nobody had a 46mm socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only saw it the once at Cadwell but liked it. It appeared in the mag at the same time that teh fooleree offered his zx7r. I thought that the mag was good advertising, stuck it on ebay and I sold it for about £250 less than I paid in total, which I don't think was too bad, then I bought the big 7.
