Anyone have a locking tool that they would be willing to loan Barker and me for a few days? We are doing some work in the primary swapping out clutches and primary chains. I can send for a UPS pick up an your place and return it to you. Thanks. |

If you're talking about the locking bar you fit between the engine sprocket and transmission several on here have used aluminum stock. Last week I used a wooden shim I had laying around the garage. I don't remember the exact length right off but it was approx. 4 1/2". Worked great and you don't have to worry about the wood doing any damage to the teeth. |

I made mine also. I used aluminum and I've used it so it's been tested. FT, you can make one easy. I just found a piece of aluminum angle (1-1/2) and cut one leg off so it was 1-1/2 flat stock. Cut to length and debur. I can go measure mine if ya want. It works perfectly. |

I used a Home Depot sourced piece of aluminum flat bar. I doubled it up except for the very ends where it engages the gear teeth. It took about 10 minutes to cut the aluminum and zip screw the two pieces together. |

I generally make my own special tools too, either from scrap lying around or by modifying (bastardizing some might say) other tools. Works for me. (usually) |

I think Oldog is going to ship me his. I could make one easy enough. |

I called a local hardware store and had them cut a piece of aluminum stock to the exact length (sold my the linear foot if I remember). I used a sanding block to put a bevel on the ends. I think I had $5.00 and 20 minutes of my life into it by the time I was done. Bill |

My gf wishes I had a locking tool. Locked in the upright position. |

I don't want BCS "prong" in my primary chain, thank you. |

Don't blame you, you should see how he installs hand grips! |

Unfortunately, I have seen his "grip glue". I think I'd rather watch someone sitting on a mason jar. |

If it wasn't for Monteagle, I could throw you mine. |

I don't care if it's 24k pure gold, keep your prong out of my chain! |
