Where have you been all my life ???
« on: October 11, 2013, 11:19:54 AM »
 Figured I would start a thread about somehting I just put in and can't believe the results.

    Feel free to add your own "can't live without" parts/accessories...

...for me  ?  I just installed a Dyna electronic ignition and I'm shocked at how beautiful the bike starts/idles/runs...  love it !

Left handed coffee cup. To check to see if you have a rare LH cup.. You have to fill the cup, then while in your left hand look under the cup to see if the hologram shows.

Left hand drill bits.

I second that!  I love it when a bolt or screw starts to back out when the bit grabs.  So nice, after the frustration that you have generally been through leading up to that point.

I almost sprang for a set of ratchetty ones when I bought my wrench set last year, but didn't because I waned reliability and a set I buy once and use the rest of my life. How do they hold up?

I got two sets from Costco, SAE and metric, $20 each  - 5 years or more ago.  9/16 does not ratchet any more, same for 5/8, the rest is ok.
