Motorcycle Tools
Some of my favorites …in the Shop
Keep yourself organized.
The Frontier 26-inch 4-Drawer Tool Chest Organizer Tool Box. Probably one of the most affordable real world tool chests you’ll find on the market today. The size is 26w x 12d x 15h. If you have modest storage requirements, indicative of many of us motorcycle enthusiasts, the Frontier Tool Box and matching Tool Chest deliver incredible value for your money.
You can find a link to this Tool Box here.
Finish the set …currently the chest and base cabinet are less than $500 combined*
Frontier 26-inch 4-Drawer Base Cabinet is 26w x 18d x 33h and matches up perfectly with the 26 inch Tool Chest. Just add some foam rubber tool drawer liners and you’ll almost forget you saved hundreds of dollars on this set.
You won’t mistake this set for a top name set, but this tool cabinet and box are good enough, that I bought the set for myself and haven’t had an ounce of regret it since.
You can find the base cabinet here…or click on the images.
Super-Thin Open End Wrench Set
Metric, 8-Piece, Including 5.5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27 mm, Slim Spanner Wrench Set with Rolling Pouch…especially handy when working on your suspension…no more grinding your favorite spanners.
Optimate Lead Acid Battery Charger
If you are still rocking a Lead Acid battery, this is your Optimate Charger. Includes desulfation mode
Optimate 2 Duo
If you have more than one type of battery in your bikes, this universal charger will charge all your toys by automatically detecting the type of battery, charging and maintaining accordingly. Available in versions to charge 1, 2 or 4 bikes at a time.
Funnel King helps you make a clean getaway with your next oil change
Funnel King No Mess 2 Liter Translucent High Density Graduated Measuring Container. Gradations on the outside make it easy to meter out exactly the right amount of oil before you start to pour.
Try not to loose your balance.
Great stand for the money, and I’ve got a couple simple ideas to make it even better at this link.
Digital Torque Wrench
Love this thing. Set your torque and hear it beep faster when you get close to your setting. ACDelco ARM601-3 3/8” (3.7 to 37 ft-lbs.) Digital Torque Wrench with Buzzer and LED Flash Notification
Optimate Lithium Battery Charger
If you chose to upgrade to a light weight lithium battery, you will need a lithium charger to avoid damaging the battery. Optimate is my choice for the task.
Vivohome 1100 LB Motorcycle Scissor Lift Jack Stand
When it’s time to work on your bike, use your drill driver or impact wrench to make short work of lifting your bike. Wheels give you the option to move the bike around easily…can’t do that with my dirt bike stand.
Brake Bleeder
If you’re not so careful holding your lever squeezed until the banjo bolt is tight again…this little guy will help you get a better result.
It’s a precaution worth taking.
Some of my favorites …on the Bike
Wera 1/4” Drive 28 Piece Ratchet Set Metric
This might just be the best travel ratchet set that I’ve ever used.
Spring Puller
When I’m not improvising with a paint can opener, I prefer to use this little guy.
This thing works great.
Gorilla Force 25G CO2 Cartridges
Some prefer to carry 16G cartridges which save a little weight, but I prefer to go with the extra air that the 25G CO2 air pump refills cartridges provide.
Motion Pro Bead Breakers
Light and effective, this is the shorter lighter version of the full sized bead breakers that so many of us have come to love in our shop. Right sized for travel.
CO2 Travel Air Pump
Supremely light and portable, Threads on to the valve stem for precise function. This has been in my tank bag for years.
