Buck eBay, but you don't need to mess with the belt to install a Roadwing. Set the tool for 10 pounds and push up in the middle of the lower belt. It should deflect 3/8 - 1/2 inch or so. Read the instructions on the tool package. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pit-Posse-Motorcycle-Tool-Tensioner-Belt-Tension-Gauge-Adjustable-40006-85-/201537132580?hash=item2eec8c9824:m:mn4vFmM4LUCO85dpBaC2Vfg&vxp=mtr   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/12/21 20:43 By Shores.   The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #996262 RSOkie (User) A man's got to do, what a man's got to do--JW Senior Boarder Posts: 251 Re:Question about Roadwing 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Thanks Shores for the quick answer I guess I missed that, so I will reread on install procedures.   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/12/21 20:52 By RSOkie.   Trigger by Buck Buchanan, on Flickr Patriot Guard Rider, Air force Veteran,   The administrator has disabled public write access. #996264 Jaybo (User) Here, hold my beer...

Gold Boarder Posts: 980 Re:Question about Roadwing 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Nope, I'm fairly new to the Roadstar too, and my bike is torn down for paint, tires, roadwing, etc etc .. so I was interested in the tool too   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #996267 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter! Platinum Boarder Posts: 6961 Re:Question about Roadwing 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Loosen the shock bolts but don't remove them, raise bike with a jack so the rear tire is off the ground, put bike on blocks as far forward and as far rearward as you can to allow room to remove the stock shock, remove the jack, use a shovel to leverage the wheel up to remove pressure on the shock bolts, remove the shock. It helps to have two people, one for the shovel and one to deal with the shock. Instead of a shovel, you can put wood wedges under the tire to relieve the pressure on the shock bolts of you are by yourself.   Logged     The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #996268 RSOkie (User) A man's got to do, what a man's got to do--JW Senior Boarder Posts: 251 Re:Question about Roadwing 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Thanks Shores I will use your advice I found types place and doing some research now   Logged     Trigger by Buck Buchanan, on Flickr Patriot Guard Rider, Air force Veteran,   The administrator has disabled public write access. #996272 cike (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3234 Re:Question about Roadwing 1 Year, 2 Months ago   i have lifted my bike with a bike jack then lowered it onto stacks of 2x4's when changing the shock. It gets the jack out of the way like this. At least it has worked well for me   Logged     owning a motorcycles not a matter of life or death, its much more important than that   The administrator has disabled public write access. #996275 RSOkie (User) A man's got to do, what a man's got to do--JW Senior Boarder Posts: 251 Re:Question about Roadwing 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Thanks Cike why didn't I think of that Duh!!! thanks again for the idea   Logged     Trigger by Buck Buchanan, on Flickr Patriot Guard Rider, Air force Veteran,   The administrator has disabled public write access.
