Flash Back Friday- Old Video for you to watch.


Happy Friday Every body, hope that your end of the work week is going well, nothing quite like a Friday and I am sure that some of you at least, will be riding your Motorcycle to some event, or simply just to get about and see a few buddies now that the Weekend is almost here.

Flash back Friday is the Day and I thought I would just add an 8 minute Video of my Old shop back in the City of Orange, had some fun times there and some shit times too, being your own Boss brings a whole lot more Headache than you will ever understand if you are not a Business owner.

It was a super Windy Sunday when I walked around the shop, you could hear the metal doors banging about, but, I hope that you find it interesting, many CB750 Builds I had taken on there and got them ALL completed in the end.

Have a Great weekend you lot and many thanks for following me, its great to hear input from Customers and readers etc and anything else you may want to see, just drop me an email at. carpy@carpyscaferacers.com and I shall be more than happy to reply to you.

Ride Safe and keep your Lights on.

Peace and Grease

Great Little Low key Movie

Happy Monday all

 

Just wanted to add a little independent movie that has a great feeling to it, a little dark, a little cold and yet a little funny, I dig movies like this, cool bikes, great places, real towns and real people, plus for me, any bird riding a motorcycle is thumbs up.

Of course, I will let you decide that, enjoy.

WHEEL BEARING RETAINER SOCKET ( FRONT ) S.O.H.C.

Here we go with one of our Newest designs, this time I wanted to make a good tool to remove the front hub wheel bearing and try and save the Original retainer if possible, and 99% of the time you will destroy the old one with a chisel and hammer.

So, we came up with this idea and it works on ALL the bikes that we build, I will also have the rear hub socket available on the parts pages too, so check them both out.

We made these here in house and then sent them out to get chromed, and this is such a handy tool to own.

Seeing as I use mine all the time, I thought I would offer them to you the public and stop you climbing the walls trying to get your retainer undone.

All the tools you will need is a ratchet and that’s it, you can go and remove the retainer, but remember to remove the Oil seal first.

But a great tool to get you out of trouble if you cannot get that alloy retainer to budge.

Even if you only use this once, it will save you so much time and frustration that’s for sure.

Always keep it in your tool box for the next wheel bearing job- or even lend it to your mate and stop him crying too.

If you have a CB750 from 1969- 1978 then the front bearing retainer is the same, all you do is pop the old oil seal out, insert our socket tool and use your ratchet wrench and there you go, she will come undone, this has saved me many times in the past and I hope that you will feel as relieved as we did when we first used it?

 

We sell the Retainer and the Oil seal if you need it and just check our pages of parts for them as we have a search engine, as well as having a New website coming out to make your shopping even easier, now that’s a good thing right?

We also sell the rear retainer tool to get that stubborn Alloy retainer out.
