    It is expensive but it goes a long way once you learn how to use it effectivly

    We still have a machine at work for turning drums and rotors but shop labour cost has gone up so much that it is cheaper to replace them

    I rebuilt my entire bike using Plastex. If the liquid is acetone it sure does not smell like it. If you look at the pic. the white tabs on my fairing are entirely made of plastex using the ptty like mold form included in the kit. one of my fairings is actually two put together to make one.

    SOund you want sound............ how about the sound of ball bearings pinging off of the grill of some caged rice racer riding your A## or purposely cutting you off ...............Now that is a sweet sound.

    Actually if you look closer you will see they are of both types two open when you squeeze the handles for external lock rings and two close when you squeeze the handles for internal lock rings, it is in the way the pivot is designed. If you look closly you will see how the handlse of the one pair crossover at the pivot, while the handles of the other set do not, they remain parrellel acting on the same principal as tetter totter. The problem I have always found with the interchangable type is A) because the tips ar often offset they do not hold the ring as well and B) they do not reach into deep bores as well. and C) if the snap ring is of a very rigged nature the interchangable tips often just rotate in the tool if you try to use the offset tips.

    I mostly do the same on one occasion many years ago while riding with a friend I stayed over to the left track of the left lane so my riding partner could take the right track. Next thing I knew a cager passed the vehicle in the right lane by driving between me and the other vehicle, almost putting me in the gaurd rail. A lesson well learned and never forgotten.

    I have always prefered a set of single purpose snap ring oliers over the multipurpose type. they are inexpensive, strong, slim enough to fit into most tight places and come in a variety of sizes and angle both for inside or outside snap rings. check this link to a sample of some http://www.princessauto.com/workshop/hand-tools/clamping-gripping-tools/snap/lock-ring-pliers/8007364-4-pc-7-snap-ring-pliers-set The tips are tapered so to fit the snapring hole exactly for larger snap rings I simply grind the ends back until the tip fits. A perfect fit allows the pliers to hold the ring better so you don't have to listen to it fly across the room.

    What did you take them off for ? up here anything over 1/32 of an inch on a bonded lining (1/64 over the rivet on a riveted lining), still passes a ministry safe vehicle inspection. I too had the squealing on mine so bad that they became unsafe so I put a coating of permatex brake quiet on them and put them back on. Why unsafe , do you ask. The niose was so irratating that I became dangerously gentle on applying the brakes, just to avoid the noise.

    We use a product at work for removeing smoke damage from truck interiors after interior fire damage that works real well. But, i will have to post the name of it Monday night as I don't remember what it is called. The only thing I remember from when our cleanup guy used it, was that it was developed for this sort of thing and that it was citrus based. It worked great and when the interior of the truck was back together there was no hint of a smell at all.

    It may not be fair but what is even less fair is that you had to send itr our way ......and I know it was you because it came from the east.

    my latest aquisition is the Eureka Spitfire duo http://www.eurekatentscanada.com/products/view/11 . I Got caught in a rainstorm so bad once that I ended up with so much water under the floor that it felt like a water bed, yet no water got into the tent. this tent backs up very small and packs nicely on the motorcycle. It will sleep two people comfortably. Set up is as simple as you can get and it stands up to some real severe winds. If you want there is a smaller version called the sitfire solo as well http://www.eurekatentscanada.com/products/tents/solo
