400nm is a lot for a homemade rig. If there's interest I'll see if I can turn out a few at the shop. | ||
| Harleyms |
If you can make some that would be equivalent to the kent moore for a decent price I'd be game for one | ||
| Brokengq |
Same here. I'd love one. Careful about patent violations, etc. Though. | ||
| Fluffy282 |
I wouldn't be mass producing them, so I'm not overly concerned about patents | ||

I've got one in San Diego for anyone that needs to use it. Shoot me a PM. Hopefully I won't need it again. I have used it a couple times already... | ||
| Nillaice |
it can be home-made, but that's alot of stress on a small, mild-steel shaft and there are members on here who are happy to lend out their locking tool. i'm back in town, so whoever would like to borrow mine; please send me a PM | ||
| Dhays1775 |
Harley, did you get my response? I got your PM. If you didn't get anything from me, try an email to my username at hotmail. | ||
| Nillaice |
i replied to harley's PM, too. | ||
| Harleyms |
Sorry guys I'm not sure what happened but I haven't gotten any responses. I sent Nillaice a PM first and didn't hear back so I tried Dhays. I'm still needing a tool so I'll just email Dhays directly since I have that. Thanks a lot. | ||

Go to the hardware store get 1/4" rod and a bolt metric size ? old age. Cut the head off drill a hole through it spot weld it in place. Use a grinder and a drill running to round the tip before you bend the other end look at my picture a few post above.I have used it 4 times. | ||

Hey guys, another new member here. I have an EBR modded flywheel coming in the mail, and need a crankshaft locking tool. Trying to get my bike ready for a week-long trip to Yellowstone in early July. Does anyone have one available? Also, I have a friend who is a machinist who says he could turn a few on his lathe if I have accurate enough measurements. I found this in another post, but need a bit more detail: "The tool has a length of 2.935" from the first thread to the radiused tip. The rod is .301" in diameter. It is made by Kent-Moore. The thread is M12 and is .350" long. It is not very hard. The handle is .700" in diameter and is 3' long with a 3/8" hex milled on the end. My guess it is about RHC 35." Is the 2.935" to the end of the tip or the beginning of the radius? Is the thread M12x1.75? I'll be happy to mic out a loaner if one is available. | ||

I know some have made their own with no problems. Be aware that at least one individual had the tip snap off of a homebrew crank locking tool. It ended up stuck in his crank. I don't remember if he had to split his cases to get it out. You will not catch me using anything but the official tool on either of my motors. I believe the tool is hardened.

Twin motorcycles has one for 56 euros plus shipping from the nether regions. And I think 50doro is a stateside distributor for them http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp? guid=YXHFSC&aid=4129&cid=0&s=TMTOOL001&a=&aname=Bu ell_1125_RCR_TM_Crank_TDC_locking_tool_ I might be best to start another thread about the tool and it's specifics for those that want to make their own. Back on topic; Who wants to borrow my locking tool? | ||
| Dhays1775 |
Nillaice, I have already set up with Harleyms on getting him my locking tool. I got his deposit earlier this evening and will be sending it out first thing in the morning.  | ||
| Dhays1775 |
Harley, sent out the locking tool this morning. Sent you an email with the tracking number. | ||
| Sl33py |
PM'd Nillaice to borrow/rent one. Parts are on the way from EBR to get this done on my 25R. | ||
| Rotarydave |
Does anyone else have one available? I just got my flywheel today and am ready to go. | ||
| Bubba_ |
Rotary If no one else replies. .. mine should be arriving back home a few days. | ||
| Nillaice |
Sl33py, I replied to your pm and left you a voice mail. The post office is closed now, so the soonest I could get the tool sent out is Monday. | ||
| Rotarydave |
Thanks Bubba! | ||
| Sl33py |
Rotarydave - did you get one lined up? My parts haven't arrived yet, so happy to wait and let you get Nillaice's first... Rob | ||
| Bubba_ |
ya.. mine's not arrived yet. shouldn't be too long tho. Nillaice - you mind if i adopt your 'shipping rules' you laid out at the 1st of the thread? seems a reasonable way to proceed. i just been kinda wingin' it (and doing fine btw) | ||
| Nillaice |
Bubba, I'd be honored if you did. I wish there was a way to put my first post at the top of every page ... | ||
| Sl33py |
Nillaice - i wanted to give Rotarydave a chance to chime in if he needed yours before i jumped ahead of him. Since i don't have my parts yet (but on the way). He didn't respond, so paypal sent today. New interface, so if it doesn't come along as a gift i'll pay the difference. Didn't show that option... odd, but just let me know. rob | ||
| Froggy |
Paypal changed the verbiage, it is a "personal" payment now instead of gift, it works the same as before. | ||
| Nillaice |
Rob, i got your deposit. tool will be in the mail today. take your time disassebmling yours while your new parts are on the way. | ||
| Rotarydave |
I've been elbow deep in my wife's FZ6, so haven't been on in a few days. I have my EBR flywheel and am ready to go as soon as I can get my hands on the tool. If I can't get one in the next week or two I'll have to try a homemade tool. |
