Hi Stephen! I'm glad you found it helpful brother! 🙏

In the US, those are just called "wrenches". In this case these are "combination open end / box" since they have both types of ends. This type of wrench has the same size on both ends. You can also have a "box" or an "open end" wrench that thas two sizes where both ends are of the same type, either "box" or "open end".

Thank you for the education James! 🍻

The park brake also has it's own mechanical caliper that is adjustable. You might want to make a video on that also. The cable adjuster has a limitted amount of travel. When I adjusted mine, I just did it at the caliper. The adjuster by the lever is for fine tuning the adjustment.

Spot on, but I didn't want to make the video long and boring, I've been receiving quite a few requests on adjusting the parking brake, this will suffice for the time being, I'll do a comprehensive video on the parking brake system in the future 👍

In my case, it was so loose, adjusting just the cable might not have made it work. By doing it at the caliper, I have plenty of cable adjustment available if needed.

@@ontherebel11 Whenever making adjustments, always make the coarse adjustment first to bring it into the ball park, then fine tune it. This goes for anything. Take a chain for instance, take links out first to get it close, put it on, then adjust it with the adjusters. I've never bought a chain with the correct number of links and had to take some out.

Hi Frank! Yes sir, i stopped at Gustafson plastics on my way back from Florida and worked with Zach on this design, just an experiment really

this might be a dumb question but why do you need to adjust it for? and when would be the time i need to use the parking break? Just for when i park the bike at a parking lot or something?

@ontherebel11

Hi Simon, parking brakes are not common on motorcycles, we all asked the same questions! The parking brake is connected to the brake caliper with a cable, after many applications of the parking brake, the cable stretches a bit, this is normal. As a result, the parking brake no longer holds the bike in place and needs to be adjusted to apply more force. The brake is used when you park the bike on an incline or hills where the bike might roll away. On a traditional manual bike, we park the bike in first gear so that it doesn't move. 👍

Hey Gus! Just got my used honda rebel 1100 and realized that the parking brake wont stay put when pulling on it. It just comes back down when i pull it. Do you know what the issue maybe? Does the cable just need to be adjusted to fix it? Thank you!

Hi Simon! Congratulations bro!! do me a favor, double check how far up you are pulling, if the cable is adjusted tightly, it requires quite a bit of force to pull it all the up to the locked position.

Hi There, m shock came with a 19nm spring and i changed it to 32nm, the 19 was way too soft for me and i was bottoming out! my shock is the HD 752. I called the Ohlins dealer in NC and got the info regarding which spring rates are available, your sock could have other spring rates, i was limited to 19 , 30 and 32 nm only. FYI i weigh 165 lbs and i have saddlebags. once you get the right spring rate for your weight the bike will feel awesome!! Mine are on the stiffer side, but that is what i prefer.
