Why I have Massive Tools/Machinery In My Garage/Basement

In the thread about my feeble attempts to address the infamous KTM ShapeShifting (TM) Fuel Tank problem, some wankopottamuS Asked Me aBout My mAssive machinery and why, oh why would I have such things, presumably because he/she didn't have any and can't stand the thought of somebody else having it.

I guess. I could be wrong.

Anyway....

Last year I bought a set of ASV short levers. Loverly bits, 'ceptin for the bright red adjusters that completely stood out like the proverbial sore arse against the black'n'orange of the SD. So I sez to myself, "Self, let's re-anodize those adjusters orange and all will be fine".

Kids, never drink and anodize. Yer liable to awaken from your drunken stupor and discover the parts left in the stripper solution were in far longer than the alloted 15 minutes, turning them into aluminium gobbets closely resembling moon rocks more than a lovely bit''o'kit proper for a Super Duke.

The rest, as they say, is not only history, but explanation:

Damn...
You done a great job ! Bravo !
As I said before : when I'll be older... I'll have the same machinery

Very nice.

I kept watching for Frankenstein's monster to appear, but you must have him in back. What else do you make in your lab good doctor?

(BTW - maybe you could fab something that would get the silly reflectors off your forks. )

Shade: Hope this is what you need:
