Headstock Adjuster Nut Socket

[trippeee]

Santa is bringing me a headstock adjuster nut socket (Triumph Special Service Tool T3880024) for Christmas. I’ll use it to do my 12,000 service on my ~22,000 mile bike. Hopefully I won’t need it for a while after that, so I want to let whoever needs it, borrow it. The only stipulation is, you have to pay for shipping to the next guy that needs it and ship in a timely manner. This will work if everyone just remembers the golden rule…puff puff give.

I’m thinking we can make this thread a sticky and keep track of where the socket is and who has it right here. Just post up when you get it and then again who you send it to. Whoever needs it, PMs the guy who has it, with his address and phone number. That way if someone sits on it to long we can have a hooligan phone tree harass him 24/7. I was also thinking of keeping it in the states. Sorry you damn foreigners but I think the cost of sending it across the ocean a couple times would exceed the cost of the socket in the first place. I guess that can ultimately be the decision of the guy holding the tool.

If you can’t handle getting it shipped to the next person quickly, don’t ask for it! Don’t **** this up!

I'm going to give Hockey first dibs on this since he's hooked me up with some awesome foot rubs. Plus I'll see him at the DC cycle show Jan. 11th. and I won't have to ship it. After that it should be available. I'll post up here when I pass it on.



Merry Christmas ****ers!

Dude!!!!
What an awesome gesture! Much better than the gesture.

Really a great idea. Thanks Trippeee and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

let's not clutter this one up, keep it on topic for who's borrowing it.

What a great thing to do.
I truly hope this keeps going, and is worthy of such a generous offer.


I have long since stopped loaning tools out due to losses, damages, etc.
I once had a "friend" borrow my class A burretts and head cc equipment. I got the burretts back in a box - now nothing more than glass shards, and he said it wasn't his fault they broke, since they were glass, so he didn't replace them.


I would suggest not sending it to Dfib, he has a tendency to stop things being passed around. And Bogarts it instead. [radiator cowls ya bastige]

You calling me generous?!? The socket cost around 50 bucks. I usually figure my spare time is worth around $25 an hour. $50 = 2 hours of my time. How many hours have you put in to just the tunes you've given away here for free? Let alone all the other tech advice and discussion items you've spent your time on around here. YOU are the man. But thanks.

I'll use the socket once and not need it again for a long time. It's a good opportunity to spread some love.


Note to self - Dfib only gets the roach.

[trippeee]

Don't tell the kids I know but after next Thursday I'll be able to balance them too.
