Who needs a laugh .. look at this magic motorcycle

I've got a used Hennway that should be a drop-in replacement for your Ronson rods. . .shipping might be a problem.

 

make sure to use your metric screwdriver

 

Metric screwdriver... That reminds me, I found a place the other day that has a real good deal on all kinds of metric tools. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a metric crecent wrench or metric vicegrips?? I'll dig the URL up for you. I am sure they have metric screwdrivers also.

 

Actually, although they aren't really "metric" screwdrivers, the JIS-design screwdrivers are only used on metric screws, since the Japanese design almost everything to metric standards, so it's rare that you'll find an SAE thread size screws that uses a JIS-design head.

So that's "almost" a metric screwdriver, isn't it?


JIS Screwdrivers:

mt1) Almost every screw on these bikes are "JIS" design screws, JIS standing for Japanese Industrial Standards, and both the depth and design on the phillips-head "slot" is different than typical US slots. In a nutshell, JIS screws (which can be easily identified by the small punched single "dot" on the screw head, in between two of the screw slots) have both deeper and "squarer" slots and thus can hold more torque than their rest-of-the-world counterparts. They also require a JIS screwdriver to take full advantage of, and to prevent rounding out the slots as typical phillips-slot screwdrivers will do. The more "rounded" edges of a standard phillips-head screwdriver cannot exert as much torque on the screw head (by design, actually) and will "cam-out" of the slots, taking some of the slot material with it unfortunately!

So it might be a good idea to also invest in a set of quality JIS screwdrivers, trust me, they make a difference (yes, they can be used on standard phillips head screws, too):

HCP5904 Aftermarket JIS-standards SCREWDRIVER SET. Japanese phillips drive screws have sharper corners than regular phillips screwdrivers so they won't turn out under heavy torque. In order to take advantage of this feature, and to avoid stripping out the JIS screw heads by using US-standard phillips screwdrivers, it's a good idea to invest in a set of quality JIS-standard screwdrivers. This set of 4 contains one each of #1, #2, #3, and #4 sized-tip screwdrivers, and this range of sizes will handle everything down to an M2 sized screw (that's tiny, smaller than the size of the petcock faceplate mounting screws) all the way up to screws bigger than anything I've seen used on these bikes. They all feature sturdy plastic handles, chrome plated steel shafts, and come in a handy vinyl storage pouch.

Len, I'm looking for a few things for my Seca... I desperately need a can of Beep and a refill of blinker fluid. I don't care if it's OEM or aftermarket. I also need a set of left-handed screwdrivers, both in Imperial and Whitworth sizes.

Also, my speedometer started showing my speed in Furlongs per Fortnight. Has anyone ran into this problem? Was it a button I pushed? I'm dealing with it for now... I remember that on most highways, the speed limit is 175,000 F/F. But I get pulled over in the city all the time because I slept through math class in high school.

Help?...

 

Sorry Stereo, you're obviously beyond help......

 

ROFL... classic

 

You may laugh grasshopper, I OWN a set of Whitworth tools... but I made my own metric screwdrivers.

 

LMAO - ROFL - No man thats a feaure of your bike when it hits 28yrs old it does an auto convertion.

 

Midnight, your SOL. The factory installed nanabots just did you in. Best advice? Part her out quick before sdomerthing else spontaneously converts like all torque values suddenly going from ft/lbs to Newton/Meters.

 

Shipping shouldn't be too bad. A Hennways only about a pound...

 

too late - i just looked and the battery is no longer reading volts DC the rebibulating combobulator is now directly fused into a micro fision reactor - now this thing will never wear out, dammit i knew somthing was going to go wrong.... Chacal do you have a OEM replacement for my flux capacitor it seems a bit weak i think it was draining my battery before the conversion.... i am not sure if the micro fission will beable to sustain 22.2JW at 65mph & the MR Fusion mod isnt providing sufficent power to the time circuts the clock seems to be stuck on 1985.
