    that would be a good idea and then we wouldn't have to go searching for things that don't show up on a search like that little gadget that you forgot where it was

    And I think the "Creative Thinker" should be in charge.

    Job Title - Bodger-in-Chief.
    2011 Triumph Tiger 800 - "Black Pussy" - MMMM Nice !!!
    2000 Suzuki DRZ400S - "Ol' Yella" - very bright
    2011 Peugeot V-Clic 50cc - "Scoot" - It's my wife's, an enjoyable ride.

    I have a house , but I can't guarantee it's safe !!

    Re: Home Made Gadgets

    I like this
    and once there are a good few ideas, the best can be assembled into a pocket book and sold in the shop

    I have a little book of home made jigs and things for woodworking that came on the front of a mag about ten years ago and I still use it.
    RD07a, reg in 2001, Black, heated grips, short screen, Scottoiler, Givi top box and panniers, DataTag, full Riky Cross crash bars, Baglux tank cover, Facet pump, mostly 200 miles to reserve and presently a lot happier since being loved up at Chad's hospital for sick ATs!

    Re: Home Made Gadgets

    Hi LV - a quick update on your suggestion.

    All the mods and admins thought this a good idea and a new sub forum will be put into the Bike Tech thread.

    I've no idea yet what it's to be called, but I'm sure DaveS will come up with something appropriate
