I dropped Dhays locking tool in the mail back to him today. He should have it Saturday. | ||
| Dhays1775 |
Harleyms, I got the tracking number. As soon as it comes in, your money will be back in your account. If there's anyone else in line, let me know and I can have it back in the mail Saturday afternoon. I think Rotarydave is next in line. Am I correct in this assumption? | ||

Wonderful! I've been tiptoeing around, avoiding riding on hot days. As a result my 2009 1125R has only 3,200 miles. I can't wait to be able to ride this thing whenever I want without worry. Dhays, would you like payment in advance? | ||
| Dhays1775 |
Rotarydave, I'll do the same thing that I did with Harleyms. PayPal $65 to me, minus the $5 for me to send it to you, then once I receive the tool back, I send $60 back to you. The tool should be back here on Saturday, so if I have your deposit and address before it comes in, I can have it back in the mail same day. Sound like a plan? | ||
| Rotarydave |
Sounds outstanding. PM sent. | ||
| Dhays1775 |
PM replied. Gotta love this board. Buell riders helping each other any way they can. It's refreshing.  | ||
| Sl33py |
Agreed! Thanks to Dhays and Nillaice (plus others i'm sure) for being willing to loan their tool out to the rest of us!! | ||
| Sl33py |
Thanks Nillaice - got the tool today (same day i got EBR parts). sweet!! Will see if i can dig into it this weekend. Gotta pull stator and send it for rewind - will go as quick as i can. How long should it take for a noob'ish mechanic? thx! | ||
| Skntpig |
I need new cams for the front cylinder. How does someone get in like for this great tool service? I'm happy to pay a rental fee. | ||
| Nillaice |
Sl33py, you can finish the rotor swap this weekend and send your core back to EBR for your deposit. just follow the manual, and you'll be fine. and the rewound stator can be put back on the bike later. garbage bags work great to keep out debris from engines  Skntpig, i outlined the process in the first post on this thread. i have a cam locking tool, and i don't think anyone else is waiting for it. you pay shipping and ill hold your deposit in paypal. rental fee donation would be appreciated if you feel so inclined, but is not AT ALL necessary. Sl33py is using my crank locking tool now, so you could wait for him to finish using it or get someoene else's if you wanted to check your rotor and counter balancer nut while you had the engine down for service | ||
| Rotarydave |
Not sure why, but I didn't get that PM reply. Am I the only one having trouble with the PMs? Anyway, it's really great to see such a strong community for these under appreciated machines! | ||
| Nillaice |
some of my replies to PM's havent been going thru either. it shows as sent, but i never get a response to my response. spam filter? | ||
| Dhays1775 |
Rotarydave, I responded to your email. Something about the PM's, sometimes they go through, sometimes they don't. Let me know if you got it. At this point, to reduce the chance of a PM disappearing, please send me an email. dhays1775@hotmail.com | ||
| Dhays1775 |
Harleyms, my crank lock tool just showed up. Your refund is incoming!! Glad it all worked out for you!! Rotarydave, you're next in line for mine. I can have it in the mail this afternoon. (Gives me ANOTHER reason to go for a bike ride...) | ||

My crank tool just got back and is available. Camshaft tool is available too | ||
| Harleyms |
Awesome David...the USPS was actually faster than advertised...someone should write that down hah My CR only has 1400 miles on it and the stator already looked like it was suffering, one half of it the epoxy was darker and it had tiny cracking starting from the heat I suppose...at the very least though the revised rotor should make it last a while longer and if the stator goes out I can replace just that without having to mess with the rotor again  Thanks again for those of you willing to loan out your hard to get a hold of tools. btw...torquing something that moves to 298ft/lbs by yourself when you only weigh 150 wet is kinda tricky  | ||
| Skntpig |
I need front cams and followers if anyone here has any in decent shape. | ||
| Rotarydave |
Thanks again to Dhays1775! My new rotor is installed and the stator epoxy is discolored but not cracked, so I'm hoping I caught it in time. Now for a valve adjustment, clutch slave rebuild, patch harness removal... I weigh 190lbs and used a swing arm stand, and it was still a bit of a process to get the proper torque applied on the rotor nut. Bravo to the 150lb guy doing that job! | ||
| Dhays1775 |
Skntpig, I have some cams and followers for sale, real cheap too... http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/736591.html?1396855552 | ||

Somebody needs to come along and sticky this thread at this point. I have a feeling it isn't going away anytime soon. THIS...this camaraderie is the reason I love BadWeb. | ||
| Dhays1775 |
Rotarydave, your money has been sent back. Just got my crank lock tool this morning. Anyone else need it? | ||
| Dhays1775 |
I changed my PayPal so my email for the deposit is dhays1775@hotmail.com. I just got a PM from David Perry about borrowing my crank lock tool. Waiting on a response. | ||
| Bubba_ |
my crank lock tool back & available | ||
| Sl33py |
should be done w/ Nillaice's crank locking tool tonight - who's next in line for it? Sorry for the long loan - happy to send it to the next needy badwebber direct if it helps? Thanks Nilla!! Rob | ||
| Nillaice |
Sl33py, that'd work for me. ... and save each person $5.80 | ||
| Sl33py |
Nilla - you have my email - just let me know who to send it to. If i don't hear who you want to get it, i'll ship it back to you later this week or weekend. Thanks again for the loan - it did the trick and rode in this morning!! | ||
| Nillaice |
I've returned your deposit and You are more than welcome! Thanks for the sticker it's going on the back window of my truck. My tool is ready to be sent out | ||
| Sl33py |
Sticker is from PNW Uly. Thanks for the loan! Timing couldn't have been better that PNW Uly and i were able to get both bikes done that week i had the tool. I think you should keep $5-10 per loan, here's why. Wear and tear, even on a hardened steel tool it would be good to make sure you have one in the future if this one gets slowly beat up by us folks borrowing it. We tried to be careful of course, but i know a bit of wear just happens anyway. I'm sending $10 back, and recommend those that can afford it do the same. It's not a fee - just a bit of a thank you and hopefully if you need to get another tool down the road you'll have the $ for it and will continue to loan it out. Thanks man! Rob | ||
| Nillaice |
It is absolutely unnecessary, but I do appreciate it! I thought about asking for a rental fee, but that's not why I wanted to do it and not my motivation for starting this thread. If my locking tool wears out and needs replaced, I'll be overjoyed to have helped out so many buellers. I'll keep offering this service as long as I have the tool. I hope others do so, as well | ||
| Dhays1775 |
Nillaice, agreed 100%. My tool should be back by the end of the week, and will be ready for the next person. |
