Most of you probably know about using compressed air to remove an old set of hand grips.
Did you know that you can use compressed air to put the new set on?
Wrap a rag or plastic bag around the compressed air blow gun and insert it into the handlebar opposite the side you are putting the grip on. Then have someone trigger the air in short bursts as you push the grip onto the handle bar. Then switch ends and the grip you just put on has a small hole in it for the air nozzle. be sure to hold that grip in place as you work the other one on. The short bursts of air inflate the grip making it slide onto the bar with no lube or glue.

Quick jack for rear tire work.
Find a block that will go under the muffler bracket, even if the bike has to lean down more to the left to get the bracket higher, then, lean the bike right & the tire comes off the ground, no jack required. Tie handlebars to something that wont move & now, you can pull the rear wheel.

Fixer, good tip on grips.

Say you need to run a grinder on something but cant let it get too hot. The time of getting it out of the vise is too long, need to be able to lay the grinder down, grab the part & quench it. Stick vise grips in the vise, put the part in the vise-grips & get after it, set it so it doesnt take King Kong to make them let go.. then it only takes a couple of seconds to pop it out of the vise grips & dropped into the quench pot.

One of the reasons I was not happy to drain the oil when its hot is the hot oil dripping out & the hot oil plug. I grabbed a bootlace & wrapped around the thing as soon as I cracked it loose. Wrapped? Naah, not really, just laid it on it, no loop, , the string went , with right hand, holding the upper & short end, over the top of the plug, pulled back to the front & held in the left hand, pulled on the right hand & adjusted pressure with left hand, plug starts spinning & soon, is out, without a finger on it, without a drop of oil on me. Was it Hot?? Awww yea, it made the side of my makeshift drainpan sag!

DAILY HOT TIP: Music Stand for Clymers Manual
Reply #72 - 09/01/08 at 10:27:07

I hate losing my place in the Clymers manual and also picking up the wrong wrench because my tools got scattered around while I was working. So I took a music stand and modified it to add a set of wrench hangers and some screwdriver holders. Now my manual is at eye level ,next to the bike (Height is adjustable) and my wrenches and screwdrivers are as handy as if they were on a pegboard. Never lose my page in the manual, and my most commonly used tools are right below it, rather than on the seat, the garage floor, under my car...etc

Here's a couple pics including a detailed closeup of how I modified the stand to hold the wrenches. I've also posted more detailed info and high res pics on my blog: http://essforty.blogspot.com/

Do you have some kind of clip to keep it open to the right page? Maybe one of those cheap Home Despot spring clamps. BTW, What I can see of your garage looks far too neat and clean, If you want, I can give you some tips on properly cluttering it up.
