i bought it with 15k on the clock and it took 7K of my abuse before giving up as i down shifted into 1st, coming to a stop  i'm sure the bike enjoyed it's nap while i wrenched, but i really didn't need to lay it over in the grass to install the spare belt roadside. at the moment; it seemed like what i needed to do. having said that, i thought it would benifit others to know that the 7/8 inch wrench in the tool kit is not strong enough to remove the axle. it is only intended for setting pre-load on the forks. y'all might want to check and scrutanize your on-bike toolkits. if you have the time; i'd highly suggest you run-thru a few tire/bet R&R's with just your tool kits. i know i'll be going to Harbour Freight and getting some cheap tools to stock up on for my tool kits | ||

Good stuff to know Matt. I carry a big Buell toolkit on/in the Uly. Plenty of room for "real" tools. For Loretta, 1125Rs don't have much room, I modified a combination wrench to carry in the tail compartment.   Z | ||

I like your folding wrench too. On long trips, I have a full-size 7/8". I hate to cut it. perhaps I need to buy a chinese harbor freight wrench after work. | ||

 This looks like a great idea. I think you can make up a very compact kit for this bike that would do most everything needed. Solid and practical advice. Thank you. |
