Valve Gap feeler gauge
« on: April 23, 2015, 11:55:42 AM »
Is there a feeler gauge made for these bikes that's easy to use for setting valve gaps? I currently only have flat blades and was able to bend it. I've seen ones that have a 45 deg. bend but look too long after the bend.

Thanks how about a special wrench for holding stem while tightening? Does the Stealership sell these too?  ;)

Again, much appreciated. ;)

I can adjust without these but if I'm gonna be working on this bike I'd like to make things easier on myself.
