Not specifically since Princess Auto started carrying most of the same stuff and it's so much easier to do an exchange/return if there's a problem. But if I'm in the area anyways, I always drop in.

That's what the rear preload adjuster is for - set your sag to account for your top box weight, and away you go. Doesn't your model have hydraulic preload adjuster, so no tools required? If so, I'll be going to Gus Tacos tomorrow night and can bring my sag scale. Should take 5 minutes.

I should have clarified that my comments apply equally to air or battery ratchets (and ratchets only - I use my battery impact for lots of stuff, and have been considering investing in a new Thor air impact for even more power). Air and batteries are always ready to go, it's more about not...

I bought a 1/2" impact and 3/8" ratchet with my first compressor back in the early 90's. The ratchet is still in its unopened box. In over 30 years of working on Japanese and Euro cars and bikes, I've never NEEDED it, although many times once I was already in the middle of loosening/fastening in...

Also make sure the pump pistons are retracting properly, might need some lubrication if gummed up.

This is how Dunlop does it (you have to watch on youtube for some reason):

I have a 30-year-old 3T jack from Canadian Tire that occasionally does that. No leaks that I noticed, so all I do is jack it up all the way to the top and keep pumping a bunch more times. This bleeds the air out of it and stops it from sinking under its own weight. The alternative air bleeding...

I always wondered who would be dumb enough to waste their money on one of those uselessly small tool boxes that looked like they belonged in the toy section for their kids, but OMG - mounting them to the wall to take advantage of unused space is genius! Looks like they also can hold a more...

Yup, expensive. I remember my parents buying an original IBM PC with 2 floppies, the ATI memory board, CGA colour monitor, and Epson FX80 printer and the bill being just under $10,000! Which was 1/3 the price of my dad's brand new Mercedes 450 SL he bought a few years earlier.

I posted some complaints on the RFD thread, and someone said it shouldn't be slipping, so maybe something's wrong with mine. All these years I just figured the 35 lb-ft limit was on the tool, not just the motor. Since HD has such a good hassle free return policy, you got nothing to lose by...

Has he posted any insider trading tips on Truth Social yet?

Wait, I paid $98 for just the tool. So if the other stuff pictured are included, then it's definitely a deal compared to regular price. I think this is the most compact 3/8" battery ratchet out there. If it's exactly the same as mine, then it's not brushless (I think the Fuel line denotes...

This was $98 when I bought mine long before Covid. So in a way, it's actually cheaper now if you factor in inflation.

Yeah, you would hope they do some ballistics but who knows. Realistically, you'd need to have it out in the open to have a problem with the cops, or have done something pretty bad to warrant them to search your vehicle, but I guess it's like having those license plate frames that every single...

Have the laws changed? My son used to play and his gun looks as if it could be real. Back when I bought it for him, I think the rule was the red barrel tip was required for the US but not Canada, which I thought was ironic.

Sorry to hear about your poor experience with GP, and welcome. It says a lot when someone goes through the trouble of registering for a forum that doesn't support 1/2-click SSO just to vent. Many years ago, GP would have been the only local dealership I would consider bringing my Ducati's to...

Last time I was on it was probably about 3 years ago and was only partly done. A friend's headlight shook loose loose on the bumpy section. I thought as of last season it was still incomplete, but every little bit helps!

Even Southwood is enjoyable on a supermoto.

Since you mentioned short, the Hyperstrada seat height is shorter than the standard Hypermotard. It's also pretty compact with a supermoto-style riding position. I guess you have to ask yourself if you sold the Scrambler because of maintenance costs or touring capability. Not sure how the...

That bike has almost the perfect mix of fun and practicality if "there can only be one". I had a 2015 821 Hyperstrada and it was a pretty good compromise between my SXV and 998. Adds center stand, luggage, windshield, bar risers, 12v power port, and hydraulic rear preload adjuster over standard...
